(S) Free travel tip for you all: if you all are camping your way through Europe and you have a great book which outlines all the best campgrounds in all the major stops and it hasn't led you astray thus far, do NOT, I repeat DO NOT stray from that book and believe what the good people at Rough Guides have to say. Let's be honest; those hacks don't stay in the campgrounds or use the facilities or bother to notice if the tent sights are remotely flat or the picnic tables have all their pieces. Yes, it's a beautiful place with lavendar everywhere, but the laundry sinks have mold. And one light works in the women's restroom. And what is that on the floor of the showers? If you have to buy an additional map to find the campground, it's simply not worth it.
This is not a hypothetical story. This happened in Cordoba. Chad thought it sounded quiet and quaint. It was both. But sucked. Luckily, the Mesquita was lovely and we had a great morning enjoying it.
