DAY10_10.PLN (5.9 KB)
A couple big cities to explore while making my way towards Madrid. A new unfortunate first, the game completely locked up my system today. Black screen, no alt-tab, no ctr-alt-delete, nothing, dead. I had to force a reboot and thus lose everything that I hadn’t saved yet. Luckily I had nothing important open, scary.

Porto Covo, cute small town just South of Sines with all red roofed white houses with blue accents.
Algarve international circuit, aka Portimão Circuit
Looks like a very fun circuit
Vineyards near Mafe-Gibraleon, some covered
Seville, Benito Villemarin Stadium, build in the 1920s, serving as home ground to Real Betis Balompié
Timelapse of the transformation the stadium went through
Toro del Oro along the river edge, build in the 13th century, but despite its name, not made of gold
In front, Archivo de Indias. Another world heritage site, displaying documents of the Spanish empire
Catedral de Sevilla, large Gothic cathedral home to Columbus’ tomb
Not the first to discover America, nor Vespucci, Leif Eriksson already got there 500 years earlier.
Plaza de toros de la Real Maestranza de Caballería de Sevilla, that rolls of the tongue!
Grand royal bullring dating to 1761, still in use
Las Setas de Sevilla, a large wooden structure you can walk on top off
I’m impressed it came out so well with photogrammetry data
Puente del Alamillo, cool bridge
Isla de Las Polomas, Southern most point in continental Europe
It’s mostly ruins of old coastal defenses including a large anti ship cannon
Gibraltar airport, one of the handcrafted airports in MSFS, including the rock of Gibraltar
Gibraltar is actually part of the UK since 1713 by the treaty of Utrecht. Spain still wants it back, the people of Gibraltar want to govern themselves.
Nueva Andalucía
Real Club de Golf Guadalmina, interesting way to put a golf course down
Plaza de Toros in Nueva Andalucía, it seems every town has a bullfighting ring
Marbella, Avenida del Mar, walkway lined by palm trees and statues made by Salvador Dali
Plaza de los Naranjos, old town square from 1485
To the right, behind, La Encarnación, Catholic church in a former mosque
And yep, Marbella also has a Plaza de Tores
Aerodrome de Loja, pretty place to land at, short runway
Dam at Presa de Iznájar (reservoir)
Cordoba
Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba, earliest parts from 785, converted into a Roman-Catholic cathedral in the 13th century. 4 minute walk from the Roman bridge of Córdoba build in the first century.
Plaza de la Corredera, town square dating back to the 17th century
Aerodrome de Guadalupe, another beautiful place to land
Santo Tomé del Puerto, last stop of the day. Tiny place, population 349
Tomorrow on to Madrid, then another shot at hopefully seeing the Pyrenees weather permitting.
