Córdoba

Hola a todos!
This week I have pictures to show from Córdoba, where we went last Saturday. We left Málaga at 8 am and took a bus first to the ruins of an ancient city Medina Azahara, which was where the Caliph, the leader of the Muslin nation, ruled during medieval times. Here are a few pictures of Medina Azahara:

After that, we got back on our bus and went to Córdoba, which is a city famous for its Mezquita, or mosque. The architecture was beautiful and it was amazing to be in a city with such incredible history. Our tour guide, Manolo, joked about how U.S. history is nothing compared to the history of Spain.

After seeing the incredible sights, we went out for traditional Córdoba food, including gazpacho, Iberian ham, tortilla española, and much more! 

Overall it was an amazing trip, I feel very lucky that I get to see all these places!
