Riviera Córdoba

Today we had a relaxed start, knowing that we had only a short train trip to our next stop, Cordoba. We walked to the station instead of bothering with buses, then bought our tickets and waited briefly before the train. We then passed through another succession of ticket checks and an x-ray machine before boarding the AVE to Cordoba. For the fir...

El hotel en el que nos quedamos, pequeñito, pero pasable.
Lo primero que hicimos fue aprovechar que si entras en la Mezquita antes de las diez te resulta gratis. Así que allí estábamos nosotros a las nueve y media, con un frío que se te metía en los huesos.
Una vez dentro Miguel me estuvo explicando cosas diversas sobre la arquitectura y ...

Hey there!
I've heard that people have actually been reading this blog! Thank you! So to continue, I thought that I would write about my first excursions within Cordoba. Cordoba is actually both a city and province. It's comparable to LA - there is a "county" of Cordoba, which includes the city of Cordoba. One day in September, our host faml...

Cordoue (en français) est tout simplement magnifique. Se promener dans sa "Juderia" franchir les murs de la mezquita... sont des moments pour moi très forts. Son vieux quartier est si riche d'histoire. J'ai été des plus ravie de découvrir cette ville pleine de vie, et de me laisser porter au rythme du flamenco.

Well....its not as dirty as it sounds. Let me explain...in a minute....
So after watching the dubbed version of Mamma Mia! I got off the train and took a taxi to the hostel. I quickly left my things and headed out with my camera, having no real idea of where I wanted to go.
I had a map with me and began walking until, well to be honest, I...

Essentially this was a travel day. I had to get from Sevilla to Vigo and I was going to stop in Córdoba along the way. I had really wanted to go to Grananda for Al-hambra, but didn't have time to do so because I spent a few extra days in Cataluña. It's always amazing to think that I went from Lleida->Sevilla->Córdoba->Madr id->Vigo a...

It´s feria time in Córdoba! In Córdoba, as in the whole of Spain, starting with la Semana Santa (holy week of Easter), there are non-stop celebrations and fairs, mostly connected with the church. As one local told me, Spaniards know when to party and when to work; and so they do! Remember, we are in Southern Spain now, and life is a bit more rel...

Saturda y (Mar 17, 07) CIEE provided the first of two included day trips within Andalusia to the city of Córdoba. Like many cities in the area, Córdoba at one point was one of the greatest cities of the Western world. The main attractions were the Mezquita, a one-of-a-kind hybrid between a Mosque and a Cathedral,...

Hola! Three days in a row arriving first to the school! I'm on some sort of a roll - but then again, I've pretty much always been a morning person... Today was absolutely fantastic! We were given about an hour or so this morning to put the final touches on our presentations before we had to present them. Laura, our Spanish partner, was not able ...
