Cordoba, Spain - October 18-20

We can be honest about this: you go to Cordoba to see the Mezquita. The Jewish area that surrounds the Mezquita is cool to get lost in, but altogether Cordoba could easily be done in a day. That said, we had two nights, and while we were ready to go at that time, I was also surprised at how much we were able to find to fill in the rest of the time.

Our extremely reasonably priced hotel was located directly across from the big doors that lead into the Mezquita.





The Mezquita itself is awesome, but interior pictures don't really do it justice. It's an extremely odd and interesting building to see. A little secret is that it is also free before 10 everyday because there is a service going on. It's a good deal, but it also meant that by about 10 a.m. we were done with our plans for the day.

We took some time to wander and found a couple of nice plazas and a few interesting turns within the Jewish quarter. We also went to Arab baths to relax in the afternoon.



We came across old men playing a card game with others watching on. Something we didn't see enough of during the trip.



And we decided to continue recreating statue poses.



By the time we left we were more than ready to go, but Cordoba had a few more surprises than I remembered.
