Cordoba

Our hotel was located across the street from the Roman Temple, just on the edge of the Jewish Quarter.  

During our stay we walked much of the Jewish Quarter, visited the Cathedral – Mosque, the Roman Bridge, the Fortress of the Kings and its gardens.  The Cathedral – Mosque is striking in it’s blending of cultures and styles.  Surprisingly it was not packed wall-to-wall with people; may be it’s the time of year.

The Fortress of the Kings was also interesting, but second to the Cathedral.    

While Seville had a Jewish Quarter, Cordoba’s seemed less commercialized and was thus quieter and less crowded.

While our first night’s dinner was provided with excellent service, the food itself was just passable.  However, Bill and Linda did enjoy a fine lunch at Taberna Salinas; so good that the four of us went there for dinner.
