The blog began as therapy. Now with all the changes in Southern Man's life it's become more work than anything else and no one reads it anyway. The blog will no longer be updated, at least not on...
Breakfast - off to the airport - fly home.

Long bus ride from Seville to Madrid - long walk to clear my head and pick up a few caches - not much more to say right now.

Today the bus ride was relatively brief - fifteen km or so out of town (but on a city bus that made many stops) to Itálica , a second-century Roman outpost that was left high and dry when the Gu...

Today we (again) took a two-hour bus ride to (again) go to the beach. This time it was the island resort of Cádiz . Geocaches? In Cádiz? Why, yes. Yes there are. Old Cádiz (like Old Mad...

Today was, hands down, the most physically demanding of the trip - a waterfall tour that required several miles of walking through sometimes-iffy terrain and taking us from the mountaintop into t...

This morning we bid a fond farewell to Granada and hopped on the bus for a four-hour drive to Seville . Once there we settled into the hostel (not bad, we four guys have our own room and our o...

We have a lot to do today but we don't meet the guide until eleven so Southern Man slipped out to pick up a couple of nearby geocaches. The first was near the Basílica de La Virgen de las An...

Our morning began with an hour-long bus ride to Nerja for a day at the beach. We hopped off the bus and Southern Man was first to the shoreline to wet his sandaled feet in the blue waters of th...

Up, up, up the hill we go and then up, up, up the side of the mountain to tour the mighty Alhambra . Russell (who is blind sees what others can not) and Christian, our tour coordinator. T...

Our bus to Granada didn't leave until 11:00 which left time to sleep in and have a leisurely breakfast. I'd kill you for taking this if I weren't so hungry and sleepy. Southern Man then de...

Today kicked off with a day trip to the ruins of the once-great city of Medina Azahara , constructed in the early 900s just west of Córdoba and utterly destroyed by civil war less than a century...

After a leisurely breakfast we met our two guides, Auxi (short for María Auxiliadora) and her father Vicente, who (as we would learn) knows everyone in Córdoba. He gave (and she translated) a f...

The last contractual duty of the academic year is to attend graduation. We walk well over a thousand so the college rents a venue in downtown Southern City. The CS faculty meets early for dinner,...
