Toulouse sausages with baked beans??!!! Sacrilege! Should be white beans at least (Cassoulet).

Catherine should know. She's French.

 

[Wanders from Glos]

Moved on to Cordoba, in the parking by the zoo.
Holiday weather at last, wall to wall sunshine and a very plesent 33°.

We love Cordoba, enjoy. We also like 33C.

It's nearly 30 years since we last went, and I'm sure it was a lot cheaper then.

But ..... it was an amazing place. Very atmospheric. (it's been both an Islamic mosque and a Christian cathedral).

No point in visiting Cordoba without visiting the Mezquita-Catedral. It would be like going to Granada and shunning the Alhambra.

It's only money! Admittedly, quite a lot of it!

At the mixed parking by the zoo.

I've been 3 times in the last 30 years - most recently in March this year - and I'd go back again tomorrow in a heartbeat. Magical. Especially if you get in early before the crowds.

There are some places in Spain that are "must-sees" - Montserrat is another - quite simply, like nowhere elsewhere on earth!

 

[Joethejoiner]

I was thinking there in the winter but struggling to find a decent aire so will watch with interest.

Aire at port still operating . Many complain about noise at weekend though I never really had a problem . Easy walk into great city

Go down early and instead of queueing there is a self service machine to the left of the ticket booth, use that ( all in English) and it's nowhere near that much but we did go in February.

The early bit might be a problem we rarely get out much before midday.

It doesn't open till 10 so you've got a chance

 

[Coastal Cruiser.]

It's lovely.

It’s borderline for me as I like mid 20s, although did go to Death Valley in August and it was high 40sthat wasn’t nice!

Very low humidity air very dry so it's really nice.

I might have known you wouldn't have stayed at the Centro Historic aire at €24 a night. Wish I'd found out about yours.

He never came round but on our way out this morning I gave him €3 he was pleased.

Found the ticket machine and we could go in at any time gone for 12:30 so we could go and get a coffee & snack.And the bell tower at 5:00 so we could fit some grub in.

 

[Lenny HB]

Phew! Mr Wallet has calmed down, the info Mi found on the Web was wrong, it's only €13 but for us old fogies only €10 & €3 for the bell tower.

 

[Lenny HB]

Love the wash basin in the snack bar.

 

[JonP]

Well today didn't go as planned hot up early, set early just before 11 (that's early for us).
Stopped at University Aire at Zaragoza for lunch & to top up water that was at 12:30.

Wandered down to the huge Carrafour to get some bread, fatal mistake, by the time we got back & had lunch it was gone 3:30.

So now at Calatayud not a very interesting town but another free stop.

A very strange French man when we came back to the van he had moved over a few feet maybe to get the evening sun.

Did you spend the €33 and go in? If so I’m impressed.

Can't believe no-one else has commented on the jesus comments regarding the mosque admission fee. Intended irony or Freudian slip?

Jesus is seen as "first reserve' in Islam. They recognise him as a Phrophet according to my local Chemist who is a practicing Muslim so ask why being charged admission fees to the Mosque

Probably needs a bit more space for his generator to charge his batteries overnight.

1) Jesus is a common Christian name in Spain.

2) I'm not religious so doesn't bother me.

3) The Mosque was converted to a Christian cathedral in the 1340's.
