granada

went for a walk to see the castillo at sagunto. walls quite extensive but had neither time nor energy to explore further.
over 7 hours spent on bus from valencia to granada. strange to see valencia back to normal with regular traffic instead of massive crowds. cars on roads instead of people. how strange.
good first impression of granada. positively tranquil after madness of valencia. purchasing of bus ticket for cordoba was relatively painless, as was search for accomms. hostal austria had rooms, but without en suite bano for first night (€33 to 40).
dinner was across the street at antigua bodegas castaneda. mushroom stew not to my liking but pimientos stuffed with cod was good, as was rioja (local wine).
