From Seville, we headed to Cordoba to visit our friend A, who is living there, teaching English as part of a Spanish government program. She was an amazing host and accommodated the three of us in her teeny room. We instantly took over her room and she put up with having our stuff all over the place. Lovely person! She showed us the beautiful sights and took us out for fun nights.  |
| Muslim next to Christian |
Cordoba has its own equivalent of Seville's Alcazar: The Mezquita.
We dragged ourselves out of A's cozy room and went to visit the beautiful building.
It is a weird mishmash of several different places of worship. On one side is the Muslim design and right next to it is the typical christian cathedral style.
We were also lucky enough to be in Cordoba for its annual Medieval Festival, held in the main Plaza.
It was like stepping through a time machine. There were huge grills of meat everywhere and people were walking around with horns filled with mead and mulled wine. People were dressed in chain mail and carried around swords.
