Bus to Santa justo Seville

I am exhausted. 5 days of nothing but rain and logistical issues. Can someone please help me get from Metropol parasol to Santa justa by bus tomorrow for an 8:30 train to Cordoba? Thanks. I just can't even.

I put it in google and came up with this
https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Espacio+Metropol+Parasol,+Plaza+de+la+Encarnación,+s%2Fn,+41003+Sevilla,+Spain/Sevilla+Santa+Justa,+Avenida+de+Kansas+City,+41007+Sevilla,+Spain/@37.3920892,-5.9840773,16z/data=!4m8!4m7!1m2!1m1!1s0xd126c051ac13c2d:0x700f267843cdb90d!1m2!1m1!1s0xd126ea585ca9fc9:0x1f6ab089fe7a10b4!3e3

but someone local may know better.

No need to rush to Cordoba. The Patios today were a bust. Not sure if it was due to rain
but many I tried to go to were closed even though it was during open hours. I think the
owners wanted a break from the rain too. Tomorrow's weather is supposed to be better.
Met a couple who said the patios West of the Alcazar are supposed to be the best but
when they went there were huge ques. Will try tomorrow. Am glad we can at least enjoy
the Mezquita, Jewish quarter etc. As far as the Patio Festival, based on today, I would not recommend
it. Between patios being closed and terrible signage this festival has been a bust. Still highly
recommend the Flower Festival in Girona which is also going on now. Better installations, easy to
follow map and more city charm.

Pam,

Are you staying in a hotel near Metropol parasol?
Have you asked for assistance with bus information at the hotel?
The best & most convenient option is to take a taxi directly to Santa Justa train station.
You're only about 2km away, so the taxi shouldn't cost more than around 4-5 Euros.

Thanks all. One of of the disadvantages of airbnb is not much support. But there is always Rick Steves forum!

Pam, the sun is out in Cordoba. The patios by the Alcazar are the best.
Found a great restaurant El Pimenton #4 between the 2 bridges at the river.
Great rioja for 2 Euros a glass, pimento potatoes their version of potato bravas.
Best we've had in Spain. Also the berenjena en miel, eggplant with honey is out of this world.
2 of us shared 2 1/2 portions and the wine plus a coffee 13 euros total. Also came with free
bread. Total locals place. Rafael took great care of us there. Wanted to eat more but too full.
May have to go back for dinner.

Yes it was a good day in Cordoba seeing the patios and the cathedral. We had a nice tapas lunch including the eggplant as well accompanied by recorded guitar music. Quiet and outside. Made it back to train station before deluge.
