Nos recogieron a las 0.30 am y nos llevaron al aeropuerto desde donde partimos finalmente a las 2.30 am rumbo a Cordoba. Llegamos a las 5.30 am al aeropuerto Pajas Blancas de Cordoba con un par de horas de retraso, claro pero un dia despues de lo previsto. Esto me trajo algunos reproches cuando re…
