DAY 7 , Cordoba to Granada, 198 July 2019 FRIDAY End of
Week 1 in Spain!
We are so behind on these blogs!
We have been so busy and having so much fun that it is hard to find time to
just sit and reflect on what we have been doing. Here we go, day 7! After breakfast
we loaded up the car and set out up for a short drive of 145Kms.The only stops
along the way were for refreshment and potty stops! We arrived in Granada at
4:30 PM and found the Hotel Abadia and its garage around the block! We stayed
here before and the hotel is very central but kind of basic. Comfortable enough
but with no breakfast, bar or restaurant. An evening walkabout in the area and
our meal was in the corner bar where we will probably have breakfast and
perhaps dinner again! The receptionist was sweet girl with very good English
and she trooped downstairs for a bottle of wine and some beers for us! Most of
the office staff are students with multiple languages who are doing some sort
exchange thing. Although Jane &
Paul’s room has a rain shower head with a proper shower curtain, Ian’s room has
a normal shower but then again, their entire room looks like a Chinese Laundry,
their first washing of laundry day on this trip!! Don’t get me started on the
range of showers in Spanish hotels!
The hotel is a traditional
building for this area, built around a lovely patio with the rooms bordering
it. We sat at a table and talked and drank some wine. It was an early night
tonight at 1030 and a quiet night for a change.
We have tickets for the Alhambra
from 60 days ago ON LINE purchase and we booked a flamenco show from the hotel
for Saturday evening. Paul is going to sit this one out because of the amount
of walking involved at the Alhambra.
Hasta manana!
