Beautiful beautiful Cordoba
After a rather long busride through to Cordoba, we had a chilled out night heading up to the supermarket and picking up some stuff to make some wraps which we enjoyed on our rooftop terrace with a view out over the Cordoba Cathedral along with a glass or two of... SANGRIA! (surprise surprise).

Tomamos um café da manha bem gostoso em um bar e começamos nosso passeio caminhando pela beira do rio, depois pela Torre del Oro. Andamos mais um pouco e chegamos a Plaza de Touros de Manzana.
