Spain – Sept 20 – Day 7 – heading south to Andalusia

Today’s journey took us south to Andalusia for our three night stay in Cordoba at the lovely Hotel Hesperia.  We met Victoria, our delightful escort and Luis our great driver, they will be with us until we leave Spain. The weather has been absolutely perfect, hot and sunny. We had an early morning start for the drive to Cordoba, a delightful small town to explore on foot. We stopped on the way to visit our friend Don Quixote de la Mancha.

After we checked in we had a couple of hours free time,  some of us took advantage of the refreshing pool and fantastic view from the roof deck.
