Ubeda

Ubeda is only about 10km from Baeza which is partly why we made the long trip over two days.  After breakfast at the Hotel Campos de Baeza we did the short drive into Ubeda and parked in the old town.  Ubeda is a slightly larger town than Baeza, at about 35 thousand people.  We had a good wander around a lot of really interesting sights and even saw a covered market, that was looking like it was coming to the end of its day's trading.  We visited the Chapel of the Saviour, which had an amazing altarpiece and a fascinating organ.  A bonus visit that was not in the guide book was a free museum or archaeology which showed some important Iberian history.

We popped into a supermarket on the long journey back to Algámitas and picked up a few bits for dinner including some nice prawns and tuna.  I had a big struggle buying diesel as it appears the supermarket is quite happy to take my credit card for 41 Euros worth of food but when it comes to 20 Euros worth of fuel they insisted on seeing my passport which was of course buried in the boot!

Gordon is preparing dinner as I speak as I've driven him 500km in the last two days. We're having a nice prawn cocktail followed by Tuna Steaks and Spanish Asparagus.
