Lunch in a local restaurant. \n\n\n\nIn the afternoon, we will visit Medina Azahara (10th Century AD), (shuttle included), a palatine construction in caliphate style, a mysterious city that Abderramán III ordered to be built in honour of his favourite wife, Azahara, at the foot of the Sierra Morena.
