Andalucia - Day 3 - Córdoba

We had muesli for breakfast then went for a day out in Córdoba. First we walked to Plaza de la Corredera where there was a small indoor market.

After that we walked across the Roman bridge then back again.

Then we went to the famous Mesquita. This was the largest mosque in the world in its time. Inside are hundreds of double arches in red and white.

Once the Spaniards conquered the moors, they didn't demolish the mosque but built a full-size catholic cathedral right in the middle of it.

The ceiling is magnificent.

At the back of the mosque is an elaborate horseshoe arch.

Outside we went to the renowned Casa Santos for some of their famous potato tortilla, which we ate outside.

In the afternoon we went to the Alcazar gardens.

We could see down to the horse training ground.

After this we walked along the river and round the city walls, there were old water wheels, and a herd of sheep and goats.

We stopped for a beer at a square in the Jewish quarter then went back home for a rest.

In the evening we went out and instead of dinner had many tapas in different bars.
