The whole WIP group (almost) went to Cordoba together last weekend. It was actually a lot of fun being with the whole group again.
Cordoba is known for the Mesquita, which means mosque, also which is now actually a Catholic church. The Catholics a couple hundred years ago after the reconquest of Spain decided to put their church right smack dab in the middle of the mosque. It's a huge place and the church portion took up about a fifth of it. It is an interesting mix, but it is a stunning place.
We also went to Arab ruins outside the city. It was my favorite part. We were outside in the fresh, fresh air that I miss so much when I'm in Madrid. I was so happy, it was green lush and beautiful! (the ruins were cool too)
