Nice place, inquisitive cats
You are high up (500m) which meant it was tolerable even when it was 42C in Cordoba. It also means good views. A family of cats hangs hopefully around the door, doing no harm. The pool is a sensible size and attractively placed: internally, the house has some fittings from an old monastery building and is generally characterful (mind your head if you are tall). The local shop is open at slightly odd hours and has a limited stock but that includes decent bread and fresh vegetables. It is at the crossroads opposite Piscina Assuan, a short walk down the road: the walk is not much fun as there is no pavement, but safe enough because traffic is light and the road is wide. The shop is not visible from the road: go into the courtyard where the signs are and look to the right. Cordoba is ten kilometres away down one of two twisty roads (watch out for cyclists), but you are in the country although there are many other houses nearby. To get to the Medina Al-Zahra you can turn left at the shop and then soft right (signposted Eremitas) and follow the mountain road, off which there is also good walking, rather than go into the city and out again. The practicalities are all well organised: some people might miss an oven. One of the bedrooms is in a separate annex, a few steps from the main building.
