Going away for a day

Travelling is wonderful. Being on the bus before sunrise, Astrid J. and Willow were ready to explore a new place: Córdoba. The city really has a lot to offer, be it impressive architecture like the Arab mosque Mezquita (which the Catholics managed to destroy by converting it into a catholic cathedral...), the ancient Jewish quarter or it's city wall.



The Mezquita

Taking a stroll through the beautiful botanical garden, we did get to see some pretty exotic stuff for a Northerner: Green peppers still being attached to their bush, trees with ripe oranges, lemons and mandarins, palm trees with tiger stripes and a variety of cactuses in all shapes and sizes.




A trip to a tapas bar is probably inevitable, and Astrid J. and Willow were very well pleased with the food, the beers and the delicious cheese pudding bathing in a raspberry sauce...




Having a piña colada tea at one of the Arab Teterías is definitely a nice way of ending a wonderful day full of impressions, sun and experiences in Córdoba. The atmosphere is perfect for relaxation and good conversations.




A trip to Córdoba is something I would recommend and I'm sure I'll return one day.
