Cordoba =]

Hola Cordoba! Tucked away in beautiful narrow streets paved with cobblestone and crazy motorcycle drivers, we unloaded the bus to embark on a 15 minute walk to our hostile. Carrying two extremely heavy suitcases up and down bumpy streets and uneven pavement was the last thing I wanted to do at 9 a.m, however to my surprise, I survived. Note to self for next time: PACK LIGHT. Out of all the cities I’ve been to in Spain thus far, Cordoba definitely felt the most traditional and historic. It had traces of Muslim, Jewish and Christian architecture and culture all throughout the city. My favorite part of our visit was the tour of the beautiful Mesquita (my first tour of a European cathedral), and our dinner at an Arab restaurant with belly dancers. I have found a new love for hummus, veal, and cous cous. Cordoba was also the first place where I really started to connect with my fellow classmates and realize the friendly and talented group of people I am so lucky to travel with. After one long and jam packed day, I was satisfied with what Cordoba had to offer and was ready to hit the pillow for our next day in Granada.
