The no 4 bus took me to the small and friendly Hotel La Boutique Puerta Osario. Just 3 stops.
The road is so narrow you have to jump on the pavement and take a deep breath if a car comes along.
From the hotel the town was easily re discovered in an afternoon sun.
Breakfast and dinner are both a stone's throw away in the nearest plaza (San Miguel). And by luck, there is Cien Montaditos!
Dinner was taken in the hugely popular (with locals) El Pisto. (And that's what I ate, with Rosada. Think I'll turn into a fish, swim home and not be able to face Waitrose's best for some time!)
I was excited about seeing The Mezquita again. It's essential to visit before 10am for three reasons: it's free, there are no groups and you have to be silent. It's a travesty that they won't let Muslims worship there.
Here's a door.
To read up on the Mezquita see

Here's another door.
And the garden (in the afternoon)
A close up of the bell tower (added much later by the Christians, see the link above) follows on my next post
