Cordoba

Yet another beautiful city we explored and with that came amazing architecture and incredible food. So as always a little history about Cordoba and the reason we came to explore this enchanted land. This town is home of the "Great Mosque of Cordoba" which is one of the biggest buildings ive ever seen. spanning some 2 square blocks in size and housing a vast array of columns, this building was converted into a Christan church and in the middle has an interesting contrast in the design with a giant cathedral in
the middle of this building. Odd and im not a big fan of the Christian addition but the building itself is amazing... notice in my first picture the very Christian style construction on the left and the Islamic style on the right. This detail is very impressive that they tried to blend the two architectures together.

Also in this city was the Arabic Baths. Can you say wow, its like stepping back in time to when they would actually use these bath houses. Only being lit by candles this bath house has an array of pools ranging from warm, hot, and cold water. When experiencing this one must go in that order from warm to hot to cold because first it really relaxes you and then the cold water purifies your skin. after this bath was a tantalizing massage, hot tea and of course hookah. then after that was bed. but then the next day we had lunch at this tapas restaurant where once again Felipe the charmer he is got us the most unbelievable food and wine to the point that we had to turn food away (a rarity on this trip because of all the walking were always hungry and when you walk 5 miles at least a day youll eat alot) and then the owner of the restaurant was like well ill stop sending you food and gave us a bottle of wine. What an awesome restaurant! after this we had a few hours of more exploring and then it was on a bus heading towards Granada and the next part of my journey.
