Today’s excursion was to the beautiful town of Granada driving through the olive treed countryside to get there. We spent the day with our extremely knowledgeable, cute local guide Daniel visiting the famed Alhambra Palace, one of the most splendid sights in Europe.

And Generalife Gardens



At the end of the morning tour we had an enjoyable late lunch at Paco Martin restaurant

Followed by a walking tour of the city visiting the Cathedral and the Royal Chapel,  an elaborate Gothic mausoleum in the centre of the city.

Most of us were pretty tired after the combination of so much walking and the heat.

We returned to Cordoba around 9pm, having Spanish dinnertime tapas on the outdoor hotel rooftop terrace overlooking the old city…..a wonderful end to a wonderful day.
