An extremely long walk (wrong direction) to get to our accommodation!) - it was rather hot and food and drink was much in need. But what a really cool spot we had - courtyards or patios they would be called with stone mosaic on the ground and really nice eating areas. Sangria went down really well after our haphazard approach to the location. A short stroll around the area and then tea before bed. The alarm woke us both 7:45 - for breakie and off to the Cathedral which had been a Mosque. It was very different with an open courtyard of orange trees and red striped columns. I loved the expanse of columns and the lack of height in the ceilings as compared to other cathedrals changed to atmosphere as well - well, contributed to it. There was a mass celebrated while we were in there - heavily guarded but security on camera duty - no photos of the congregation or officiating priests. Did love that cathedral or rather mosque converted to cathedral.
