Cordoba

Its narrow streets and white walls makes Cordoba immediately different than Madrid on many, many levels. It makes me wish I knew how to ride a motorcycle so i could own a cute little Vespa and ride around the city and get lost in it. The hostel we are currently staying in, which is by a convent,  is very pretty and decorated with traditional Andalusian flavor.

It's love at first sight. Its so different than Madrid and this is the Spain that I've been yearning to see. The mixture of different worlds and cultures and the romantic views. It's gorgeous and as we explored the city more, I couldn't help but become enchanted by this wonderful city.

The Mesquite was amazing, as if I had a doubt. It is a centuries old mosque with a Gothic cathedral at its center (although I might be wrong on the style). It is way bigger than I thought it would be. I had seen pictures but actually being inside and seeing it for myself was a whole different experience.
