Driving through the rolling hills of Spain's countryside we left Seville to go to Cordoba. On our way we spotted a impressive Moorish castle and watched a beautiful sunset from the hills overlooking the city. The next day before going to Cordoba itself we explored the ancient ruins of Medinat Al-Zahra, which was a capital city built so the Muslim ruler at the time could become a Califa.
In Cordoba, some of the highlights included:
• The Judaria, Jewish district, with whitewashed alleys and beautiful flowers
• Statue of Seneca, Roman Stoic philosopher
• Roman walls and bridge over the Guadalquivir river (same river flowing through Seville)
• Moorish banos (baths)
• The Mezquita, the hybrid Great Mosque and Cathedral of CordobaBaca lagi
