Around Cordoba and Locker Cordoba

Cordoba is a great day trip when in the south of Spain. This Andalusian city is charming, colorful, vibrant, and its walls are decked with flowers.

Calleja de las Flores. See post here.

It is also massive, raw, rich in culture, boasting the second largest old town in Europe and the largest urban area to be declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The Mezquita. See post here.

Sharing with you the sights and sounds as I crossed a 

Roman bridge on my way to the Tower of Calahorra

So beautiful, right? I highly recommend spending a full day exploring this city like I did.

I took the early train to Cordoba out of Seville

Left my bags at Locker Cordoba in a building next to the train station

After you exit the station, it will be on your right. You have to walk down the ramp and

cross the street.

Zooming in for you

There you go

This kind gentleman helped me store my luggage into the locker

And also gave me a map and some tips on how best to go around the city. 

Cordoba is perfect for exploring on foot. I walked to all the attractions, to lunch, to wander

some more before going back to pick up my luggage and head to the train station.

Only a few euros for storage and you can tour the city hassle-free!

And I'm off to Granada. But first, some jamon iberico y bellota sandwich snack!

Train from Nice to Lyon

 

UGH. Apparently, elevators are not a big thing here.

 

 

But clumsy me made it to the platform in one piece. Goodbye, Nice!

 

 

The TGV is a fast and convenient way to travel around France.
My trip from Nice to Lyon took 4 hours 27 minutes. 

 

 

Seats are spacious and comfortable. This booth is perfect if you are traveling in a group.

 

 

My assigned seat was on the upper deck, but since it was empty downstairs and I didn't wanna struggle with my luggage up another flight, I just settled on a random chair.

 

 

Still I went up because...

 

 

… the food is here!

 

 

You can sit at the bar with other people

 

 

Or be anti-social and take pleasure in your aloneness.
I had a carrot salad, croque monsieur, tiramisu and two bottles of water. 

 

 

The tiramisu was really good!

 

 

Slept like a baby the rest of the trip.

 

Hello, Lyon! :)
