Cordoba and Granada

Last weekend we went to Cordoba and Granada with ISA....another one of those "free" excursions. We only went for one night, so we saw alot in a short period of time. Granada quickly became one of my favorite cities in Spain what with the Alhambra, the mountains as the backdrop, the hills with spectacular views, and fun "tetorias" (tea rooms) on every corner. Don't worry, my loyalty still lies with Sevilla. But I think if I had to study in another city, I would have picked Granada. Cordoba was great too, just alot smaller and we didn't have much time there. Both of them have a big Moorish influence, so all the buildings had really distinct Muslim architecture. Definitely must see's when traveling through Spain!


Me, Denise, Emily, and Mary (what's new) inside the Mezquita of Cordoba...famous for it's red arches.
