Cordoba was tiny and beautiful. The weather was absolutely amazing and Cordoba was a typical Spanish town with lots of green and little parks. The Mesquita, which was built when Spain was under Arab rule centuries ago lived up to my expectations. It is now a Cathedral--the Spanish built a Cathedral right in the middle of the mesquita when Fernando and Isabel reconquered Spain, so it is very interesting--an intense mix of arabic and catholic architectures. i thought it looked like candyland--the columns of red and white stripes were endless.
we also saw a flamenco show--andalucia (the southern region of spain) is the best, most traditional, place to do this. the dancers were beautiful.
overall, a wonderful weekend!
ciao.
