Cordoba to Seville - Day 35




At last! We have been waiting 3 years for this trip! 

We had an easy drive from Cordoba to Seville, not on motorway which was a relief. It was a couple of hours on quiet roads, and apart from finding cotton fields (Andalucia is a huge cotton producer) and a section of closed road which we had to navigate round it was pleasant and uneventful.

A bit of a wait to get into our room in Seville after quite a stressful drive within to the hotel! Jayne and Mark arrived while we were waiting and about an hour later the Graham’s and Carnes arrived. HOWEVER it was another 2 HOURS before the Carnes got their room. 5.20 or so. 2 glasses of wine in compensation….mmmm…we will see. Anyway we were all happy being together in the courtyard while waiting


Once we were all sorted we took a wander out to see what was what. First stop the bull ring and it’s museum. It’s an impressive building, the museum was quite interesting but it it’s still pretty gruesome…

Afterwards we had a beer at a random beer festival beside the river, then we crossed the bridge and found a table at one of the tapas bars and had what turned out to be some great food and wine, in the most glorious of temperatures!
