Today was a (happily) uneventful drive of 240kms. We had booked a campsite in Villafranca de Córdoba, Camping Albolafia.
Our route was largely cross-country and rather unscintillating, though it was better than trudging down a tedious motorway. Most memorable to me was passing through the town of Peñarroya-Pueblonuevo, which clearly had a rich coal mining history. We past what looked like old spoil heaps, now turned into mini mountains, with many old metal pitheads standing by the road as a reminder.
We negotiated a lengthy descent of the high plateau towards Córdoba. The traffic and road system of Córdoba was a bit of a shock after a rural journey but we made that unscathed and began heading to Villafranca de Córdoba.
The campsite reviews were a bit mixed but, having checked in, we managed to find Frodo what we thought was a very decent pitch right on the edge, although we were facing the rugrats’ playground. Even better, were facing the right way to maximize the shade from Frodo’s shop-blind awning.
Fingers firmly crossed.
