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.

We stopped off in Osuna, a town that immediately captivated us with its charm. The narrow streets and historic buildings exuded a special charm.

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.

After a 30-minute drive outside the city, we finally found a nice parking space and were able to continue our journey.

Córdoba itself is a city that shines with its history and architecture. We followed in the footsteps of the past and visited the impressive Mezquita Cathedral.

This monumental building, which was once a mosque and was later converted into a cathedral, is simply breathtaking. The sheer size and detailed arches are a testament to Cordoba's rich and complex history.
