We finally managed to make it to Seville by train! Even got the correct seats! When we arrived we made our way to the centre of town and it was after wandering down many little lanes we came across Savilla cathedral. It was very impressive.
Unfortunately the queues to go into were very long and so we checked the interior out on line - very impressive! Just got into a restaurant for lunch as the rain fell. A dish of paella and glass of sangria hit the spot.

Next day we left for a long drive to Baza was we were catching up with my sister and b-in l. We made it to the local supermarket as it opened to stock up on all our needs. We were soon on our way but once again were worried that we were going in the wrong direction! After a couple of false starts we found the road that we needed and sped through beautiful countryside. It was a long drive with a couple of stops but the directions given to us for the cave house were spot on.
The lady who greeted us was eccentric, to say the least! The cave house was another eye opener - a labyrinth for sure - as it's also known as the fairy house you might get the idea!
Valda and I got sorted and then set about waiting for my sister to arrive when i received a strange text to say that they were having trouble with the car but were heading towards Granada and would get in touch. They finally arrived about 11pm and what a story they had to tell! They were due to pick up a car at Malaga airport but were told that the insurance for 4 days was going to 1200 euros and they would get nothing back, even if the car was perfect! They then walked away from the hire firm, caught a bus to Granada and then a taxi to here (130kms away). There was much joy at their safe arrival and it turned into a very late night!
We had a lazy day yesterday with a quick wander around the local town. We are quite high up and there is snow on the mountains.
Today we went in search of a gorge walk that I had found on line. It was impressive scenery and we did have a pleasant amble in the sun.
