After we left Cadiz on 15th December we travelled to Olvera. It is a small city surrounded by hills. It was a nice and sunny weather. We went on the top of the Arab castle and we enjoyed the amazing view. Then we visited a cemetery which was nearby.

After visiting Olvera we travelled to Arcos de la Fronteira where we stayed in the hotel Los Olivos. Arcos is a small city and not very interesting but on 16th December there was a living Bethlehem in the evening. We had to wait in the line with many other people until we were allowed to enter the city. The main square and also many streets were decorated and there were animals. People were wearing costumes and there was also food tasting.

On Sunday 17th December we travelled to Sevilla where we stayed in the hotel Petit Palace Santa Cruz which is a 4-star hotel. We had very good breakfasts in this hotel with a large variety of food. For me it was already a second time to visit Sevilla, I had been there before in November 2012. At that time it was rainy and this time it was sunny and relatively warm in the sun.

We visited Plaza de Espana firstly and then we walked to Las Setas or Metropol Parasol which is a wooden construction at La Encarnacion square. We had lunch in a local cafe where we ordered pancakes. Then we walked in the city and by the river until it was dark. We had diner in the restaurant La Bodega where we tasted many different tapas including chickpeas, shrimp omelette and seafood. The following day we also spent in Sevilla and we went to Casa Tomate for diner which is also tapas restaurant. We had avocado with shrimp, spinach with chickpeas, meatballs, vegetables and chips.
We left Sevilla on 19th December and we travelled to Cordoba where we stayed in 4-star hotel NH Cordoba Guadalquivir. It was a luxurious hotel and we had a good breakfast there.

We walked to the Roman bridge of Cordoba and then to the Great Mosque. Thomas came back the following day because the entrance was free in the morning but I didn't go with him. In the evening we went to the tapas restaurant El Churrasco.
On Wednesday 20th December we travelled to Granada where we stayed in the hotel Palacio de los Navas. We walked up the hill in the afternoon and we watched the sunset. There was a Moroccan restaurant nearby where we had diner, we ordered meatballs. Granada was the only place which was really cold during the night and we needed a warm jacket.
On Thursday we visited Alhambra which is a beautiful palace and a fortress complex built in Arabic architecture. We spent some hours there.

On Friday 22nd December we travelled to theTabernas desert close and then to Almeria. We saw the village Fort Bravo from the distance which is used for filming western movies.

We spent one night in the 4-star hotel Catedral Almeria and we had a breakfast there. My friend Younes who I met in Morocco in 2012 and his girlfriend came to meet us in the evening and we went together to the restaurant Entremares which is by the sea. We ate a lot of different kinds of seafood.
On Saturday 23rd December we returned to Malaga/ It was the last day of our trip in Spain. Thomas flight was departing earlier than mine so he dropped me in the city and he went to return the car. I spent afternoon walking by the sea and in the city and finally I went to McDonalds' to eat chicken and chips. It was warm and sunny that day. I took a bus to the airport and my flight to Prague departed around midnight. When I got to Prague it was late night and I slept only 4 hours because I had to catch a train to Slovakia around 9:30am. I arrived there in the evening and I had Christmas dinner with my mother and grandmother.
