Cordoba

Forgot to include pics of our day trip to Córdoba. We stopped at a restored castle, had lunch and then hit the mosque/cathedral which was unique and beautiful. It was a church originally and then had a mosque built on top of it and then when the Moors were kicked out, the Catholics out a cathedral in the middle of the mosque. Fascinating!

Quite the view. The castle was said to be impenetrable

Moorish arches with Christian ceiling

Such a crazy combination
