In the morning, we were given a tour around a beautiful old building, with which houses Córdoba’s Sports Administration. The tour was conducted by a guide who dressed up to act out the roles of people from the history of the building. It was very funny and enjoyable. We learnt that the Emperor of Japan had stayed there once a long time ago. We were also able to meet the most important people from the Sports Administration in the city.
In the evening, we visited a local sports centre and met the local basketball team, watched them train and were presented with a mini-basketball each.

Today, we did study tour of an olive oil producer, Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe, in Baena, a small town near Cordoba. They produce high-quality olive oil, much of it organically grown. This company is also a co-operative of about 1,200 growers. They have a very environmentally responsible approach to their business, recycling water whenever possible, including providing water to the community after purifying it, and drying the olive pulp in the sun and then burning it to produce electricity. The entire business is very modern, very well regulated and extremely clean. It was very impressive. They export their oil to many countries, but not to Japan at this time.

We left early to get to Madrid. It was our last day in Spain, and people did different things. Shopping, a tour of Real Madrid’s stadium, or to the International Olive Oil Council to learn more about the world situation of olive oil.
Finally, in the evening we had our last dinner in Spain. Everyone talked about their favourite moments and remembered the trip fondly.
