For any Newbies on thinking about the "Spain My Way Tour" and Side Trips

I just finished this Tour and wanted to give some info for anyone who might want to do a side trip to
Cordoba to visit the Mezquita-Catedral de Córdoba: Mezquita-Catedral. We took the High speed train
from Seville to Cordoba, got off of the train and asked at the station info office about the best way to get there.
Of course they said taxi. They also said the #3 bus just outside the door. It's 1.30 Euro and a quick trip to the
dropoff point. Now the bus driver pointed across the river.....wrong. Also the sign on the corner was crooked
and pointing across the river, also. Just look up and you can see the cathedral about 1/3 of a mile through the
neighborhood. Easy-peasy!

Also for anyone making reservations to visit Sagrada Família, the Gaudi Church while in Barcelona, do not pay
for any extra download of guided tour for your phones. It does not exist. You have to pay for a tourguide that will
hand out listening devices so you can hear their voice while they lead the tour.

If you want to walk from the train station in Córdoba to the Mezquita, it's just about a half hour or maybe less depending on how fast you walk. And it's a pleasant walk. I did it with a rolling bag; no problem.

The official Sagrada Familia website (https://sagradafamilia.org/en/tickets-individuals) indicates that there is an audioguide, but you have to download the official app beforehand. I couldn't verify audioguide actually exists in the app; without buying a ticket, I couldn't find a way to download one. But it says there are two versions, one that lasts 45 minutes and an express version that lasts 25 minutes.

It costs 26 euros for a ticket that (supposedly) includes the audioguide, and 30 euros for a guided tour. With the towers, it's 36 and 40.
