March 4

A travel day to Seville. The city is beautiful and way bigger than Cordoba. It’s not as charming, but it has so much more to see.

I only have one day for sightseeing, so I went out and saw what I could today.

Interesting public art piece in the historic center

I had to steal pics of the Plaza de Espana

Every province of Spain has one of these ceramic benches

Had a delightful day of sightseeing in Cordoba. The weather was perfect and I saw a lot. I took two walking tours.

An important personage in the Jewish quarter.

Darling little neighborhood with private houses that welcome visitors to look at their patios

Apparently it takes 2 hours to water in the summer

Professional photo of the Street of the Flowers

My photo

Royal stables. We got to go and admire the horses. Im not a horse person but they are beautiful animals, and very well cared for.

A cat

A travel day to Cordoba, and a visit to the cathedral that used to be a mosque. Super neat.

I’ve been to a mosque that used to be a cathedral before, too. Also neat.

Im staying at a charming little hotel in the city. It’s close to the river and a market. Perfect.

In its heyday, the mosque could hold more than 6000 people

The old city walls

The Alhambra

So many cats

The roman bridge, if I was walking the Camino from Malaga, I would have crossed it on my way to Santiago

Nothing to report yet.

Had a decent breakfast and am moving on to Cordoba this morning

At the Latroupe Prado hostel. Can recommend.

Edit:

Well, I just had a small heart attack. An ATM ate my debit card, and I realized that I dont have a backup plan for cash acquisition.

I got it back but, damn, that was a tough few minutes.
