Córdoba

This weekend I took a day trip to Córdoba with my program

The Mestiza had the most beautiful architecture I've ever seen

First we meandered around the gardens...

and found Ferdinand & Isabel and Christopher Columbus

...this tree with character

 

...and this laday

then entered the famous Mestiza

 

 

Sorry, architecture pics are always more boring second-hand but there were 

just so many spectacular sights

The place was huge!  It was built for a capacity of 30,000

...originally Muslim, then made Catholic (like most of Spain)

After the Mestiza we went wandering around the town...

There was a Medieval Festival that weekend

And along the way found Medieval torture tactics too!

Then unfortunately had to head home...
