Córdoba

Thursday 21st March 2019

Although we generally choose to take public transport when visiting cities the local bus from Villafranca to Córdoba only runs from 07.15, 08.00 and 09.30 and then again at 14.15 and 16.15, which is either a little too early or too late for us, so we opted to take the car the 21 kms and fingers crossed find a car park which we would be able to get into, as we have the top-box on the roof of the car which often limits our options.

Friday night has to go down as one of the most blustery nights that we have endured so far in the caravan here in Ballum. Added to that was the torrential rain which sounded like someone spraying the top and sides of the van with a hosepipe! We were suffering the effects of one of the current storms sweeping off the North Sea from the Atlantic.

Luckily by mid afternoon there was a break in the weather and to stop us going stir crazy we ventured out in the car to explore the local area.

This area of Denmark is located within the National Park Vadehavet /The Wadden Sea National Park, a UNESCO Heritage site.  Continue reading Ballum, South Jutland, Denmark
