Córdoba

The last stop on our Andulisan road trip is Córdoba. We had noticed many similarities between the cities on our tour, and then Leena found this comic.

This pretty much nails it! So, much of the same sights in Córdoba. Some Roman-era ruins.

The cathedral, viewed along the lovely bridge across the river.

We went up a tower (of course) and had a view of a horse ring.

We liked this topiary made to look like a turret.

We toured Medina Azahara, a city set in the hill just west of Córdoba. It dates to the 10th century. They had a great 20-minute film presentation of the city that included renderings of what the ruins looked like in their day.
