Day 11 - Ruined

Córdoba 

We took the bus to Medina Azahara, a massive palace complex of which only 12% has been excavated to date. Like all these places it has unfortunately been plundered to nothing over the years but it was still worth a visit. 

The weather is really warming up which makes it difficult to do much in the afternoons, but we're on holiday after all! After a couple of sangrias we found a lovely Moroccan restaurant with a rooftop terrace and huge meat skewers and rice - perfect as we have finally both got our appetites back.

This would have been quite impressive back in the day.
