On Day 13 we will be catching a train in the afternoon, so we went for another sight seeing in the morning. And the target was Plaza de Espana. |
The Plaza is situated inside Maria Luisa Park, so let's set the direction to the park. |
Another major tourist attraction is the horse-and-carriage rides. |
Bollywood-ing beside the canal with one of the towers behind us. |
At the heart of the plaza with a huge erupting fountain and if you are lucky you might see rainbow over the fountain. |
Time to go back to the apartment, pack and set for the next destination. |
It was time to leave the apartment at Calle Gallera and cycle to the train Station at Sevilla Santa Justa. |
All set and we were on our way to the station and will be bidding good bye to Seville. |
We had a brief photo shot with the mounted policeman half way during the ride. |
We cycled as much as possible on the dedicated bicycle lane to the station. |
And finally in less than 3km we were near to Santa Justa. |
Santa Justa is located at Calle Joaquin Morales y Torres with a GPS : 37.391835, -5.976257. We were early and have time for something to bite. |
There goes my front brake cable and it went kaput while coming to the station. Now I had to ride with only one brake and I hope I can get it repaired when I reached Cordoba. |
Let's forget about Big Mac and try this joint 100 Montaditos, it is a food chain specialising on sandwiches and there are more than 350 retail outlets in Spain. |
Fenn on the travelator to the train platform. |
Within one and the half hour we arrived at Cordoba Station with a distance of about 130km apart. |
In less than 4km we located our place of stay in Cordoba, it is called Como en casa sited at Calle San Pablo GPS : 37.885788, -4.775366 |
The city served as the capital in exile of the Umayyad Caliphate and the capital of the Islamic Spain, the Almohad and various other emirates. |
The Roman bridge taken from the northern end at Ronda de Isasa. |
A tourist from China joined the guarding guards for a photo shoot. |
Much of this architecture, such as the Alcázar and the Roman bridge has been reworked or reconstructed by the city's successive inhabitants. |
The mechanic managed to replaced the front brake cable and the damage was 10€ for the fix. I am back with a full braking system and need not have to worry about going down hill ride anymore. |
Then I went back to the Roman Bridge to join the group, it was just in time for the sunset . At the far end of the bridge is Torre (Tower) of Calahorra. |
This Roman Bridge has been featured in the popular HBO TV series - Season 5 of Game of Thrones |
A nicely decorated interior with white painted tables and chairs, we pushed our folded bicycles to the rear portion of the restaurant with private room good for our group to dine. |
The food was awesome together with the lovely house wine, the food were cod fish salad, brinjal fritter, small squid, meat balls, a little bit of lamb, some like of paella rice and a local dessert. |
It's back to Como en casa Apartment and a good night to Cordoba. |
