Another day as tourists. We started with the laundromat. From there we decided to go and see the metropoi parasol or as the locals call them, las zetas - the mushrooms.
As we walked, we found an open church. The church of San Julian. Another beautiful example of a Spanish church with a lot of religious art, probably mediaeval. It was quiet and peaceful, a perfect place for our daily rosary.
I should mention that the daily rosary is new for us. In Fatima we learned that Our Lady asked us to pray the rosary every day for the salvation of all souls including our own so we are trying to comply with her request.
Anyway, we continued the walk and eventually arrived to the mushrooms. Very impressive structures. Too bad the blogger app does not allow me to add pictures.
We had bocadillos, Spanish sandwiches, so we had our lunch right there. By then it was getting very hot, over 30 C, so we came back to the hotel to have a rest in the AC.
When we thought that it was getting cooler (we were wrong), we went out again, this time to visit the Casa de Pilatos. An Andalusian palace, initially built by a nobleman in the XVI century, it is a combination of Moorish and renaissance architecture. The tiles, the engravings in the walls, the woodwork in doors and ceilings are unique. The house is also full of Greek like statues. We spent a couple of hours there, admiring the place despite the heat.
By then it was close to 7 pm, so we walked slowly back to the hotel with a stop for dinner. But it was still pretty hot.
Tomorrow is going to be hotter....
Today we visited the church of San Julian de Burgos. The beggar bishop. We ask him to teach us humility and to pray for us.
