Baeza

We drove about 250km today to get to Baeza, a town of about 18,000 people in the East of Andalucia.  We stopped for lunch at Andujar and had a really nice salad and some cold meats.

We had booked into an hotel, Campos de Baeza, as 500km in a day is too much!  It meant we had plenty of time to explore and could enjoy an evening meal free from worrying about not drinking or a long drive home.  It was a lovely four star hotel and was a bargain at only c. £60 for the night.

We visited most of the principal sites in Baeza and climbed the tower in the cathedral just before dusk.   The cathedral had some fascinating old items in it including music and clerical dress.  The audio guide was useful too.  Baeza is a really pretty old town and well worth a visit if you're in that part of Spain.
