If you're planning on visiting the Alhambra then definitely book one of those skip the line tours (think we used ViaTour) or you'll spend most of the day in queues.

We are currently in Cordoba - typical that it’s raining but it’s supposed to be 24 next weekend.

Anyway, went in the Mesquita this morning. An absolutely exceptional Mosque/Cathedral that you should not miss.

That’s what we’ve done for this trip - fly into Malaga and stay the night, get the high speed AVE to Cordoba for 2 nights then back to Malaga for a night before flying home.

We’ve been to Seville a few years ago and it’s still the best city break we’ve done. An absolutely amazing place. It’s fair to say that Andalucia is full of them.

My favourite city in Spain. Gets extremely hot in the Summer though.

It’s beautiful but I also think Malaga is under rated.

We’ve been many times over the years, April, May and June. The hottest we ever experienced was on our honeymoon in September 89, absolutely boiling. We got back home just in time for the Maine Road Massacre!

Pretty much what I did last year , but added on Cadiz .
The only difference is we did it all by train . It was so simple and the cost of parking in the various cities put me off taking a car.

It’s a wonderful part of the country . The food is to die for . Some of the dishes we enjoyed were magnificent.
Not sure when you’re going but the patios festival in Cordoba is beautiful.

We're going in June as the boss lady doesn't like the mega-hot weather in July and August.
Almost dropped a real bollock last year as we booked four days in Berlin during the first week of June. So it was Wembley on Saturday, off to Berlin on Sunday, back from Berlin on Thursday and drove to her place south of Ludlow, and then back to Prestwich as I was flying to Istanbul, Istanbul, we are coming on the Friday afternoon.

Oh I dunno mate.
on the day of the 1st leg v Madrid, the temp in Seville was 42 degrees .
I think it was end of April until about 10 th May . Hottest place I’ve been and very little wind to cool you down . A beautiful place though .

I would recommend Da Lat, Hoi An, Cao Bang (do a motorbike tour here), Ninh Binh, Sa Pa (we did a trek with sa pa sisters. Was incredible learning about the different ethnic groups), Hanoi and Ha Long bay. Been here for 2 months, currently in Hanoi. Absolutely love it

My mate paid someone to take him out into the middle of nowhere and fire off a bazooka and an A.K 47.
I don't see the point personally but.....
