Three days and nights in Cordoba, Spain, what a
treat! Our lodgings unbelievably comfy, the sights amazing & the company
great!
The weather during our visit has varied from sunny
heat to downpours of rain. Luckily when the rain was more than a sprinkle we
have had each had a window to look out over the small, lovely ancient plaza our
apartment borders.
This town has a long history. There are Roman,
Visigoth, Moorish & Christian buildings to view in the small center.

The
narrow walkways wind through homes with doors open to reveal flower-filled
porches where colored tiles & plates are hung as decorations.
The main tourist draw is The Mezquita, a huge
Muslim Mosque built between the 8th & 10th centuries.
Inside is a renovated Cathedral, simply exquisite!

This is a livable city. We have very much enjoyed
being here!
