I’m back where I started my not very marvellous yesterday. But then not every day can be wonderful, wherever. In my favourite coffee and churros spot in La Corredera, I contemplate the day ahead . San Basilio and Juderia; I know the way there without my phone or map gripped tightly in my hand .

But first, yesterday. I stopped at the market just opposite and bought some really yummy strawberries. Then I started what turned out to be a long, hot, uneventful slog to the University. It turns out that there are several buildings all over the place, but after a wild goose chase I found the main one. Told it is a wonderful modern building . But I was disappointed as it seemed as if the neo Mudejar style superimposed on the 1921- 1926 building was just stuck on to solid lines Even the area on the edges of the old city is pretty ordinary. But the University has 21 campuses throughout the city and many of them are world heritage from 1600s , so I simply viewed the newest building.

I went around to the front of the building but couldn’t go in further than the foyer .

So I made my way back to my neighbourhood. Actually it was a short way and I was annoyed with myself for the self imposed long walk.

A detour into Zara’s. I love looking at clothes shops in foreign places, and I found Aldi again ( pleasure of the familiar!). With a large salad for E3 and a few other items I repaired to my room in La Esparteria and the detective story that’s just concluding. In a better frame of mind.

I think I’m ready to move on though.
