Andalusia's splendor and glory

From Osuna to Córdoba

Another exciting day of travel in Andalusia, and this time our route took us past charming Osuna towards Córdoba. Even the drive through the countryside was a delight, with blossoming trees along the way that seemed to be enjoying the sunny Spanish weather.

But then came the disillusionment: as we drove on to Córdoba, we noticed that the city was packed with people - too many for our liking, to be honest.

The search for a really good campsite turned out to be difficult. The number of tourists and the shortage of pitches soon had us looking for alternatives.
