Following Sevilla, the ´rents rented a car (Audi A4) and we headed out of town towards Cordoba. Took a quick tour of the town for a bit, seeing La Mezquita/the Catedral which was quite impressive. Seeing as how Corboda has changed hands many times over its history, there is a real mix of architecture in the city. That being said though, kinda churched out that this point. While they are all certainly impressive, it begins to all melt together once you see too many of them.
After Cordoba, we finished our drive to a town called Jaen. On top of one of the hills there is a giant castle started in the 10th century. Turns out to be a hotel too and is where we stayed. Now this is where it´s great traveling with parents, you get a fair share of really nice accomodations. Large beds, balcony that looked out onto a beautiful mountain range, nice bathroom, and one of those french post-toilet things that I still don´t know how to use, but nice to have? Was certainly a nice change of pace to stay in a place like that and rest up a bit. And the breakfast buffet the next morning? Killer.
The morning after (Monday?) we had a slow morning and drove into Grenada. Parents seemed to be quite lost getting in, and even though the Audi is such a nice car, neither could really seem to figure out how to work the clutch. Em and I just sat in the backseat trying not to get involved, would have been much crazier then... I´ll keep my posts short, Grenada on the next one...

I don't recall any problems with the clutch except for the one time I forgot to engage it after we had been on the highway. Can't wait 'till you drive one.
