So anyways, my program took us to Córdoba, Spain, which is about an hour and a half drive from Sevilla. Córdoba is known for "La Mezquita," which is a massive mosque in the center of the city. La Mezquita has parts of a Roman temple, a Muslim mosque, and a Christian church, and is seen as a symbol of harmony between the three religions. On the left is a picture of me and my friend, Kristen inside la Mezquita.After the mosque, we visited one of the oldest synagogues in Spain. It was not too exciting, but still cool to see! After that we went to the Christian royal castle, which was surrounded by beautiful gardens. Southern Spain literally has the best gardens in the world!
After several hours of touring these different historical sites, we were given some free time. Since we were all exhausted from the tour and having to wake up early to get there, we decided to just go to a café and get ice cream. We were able to sit outside in the sun and enjoy the weather. A great way to end the day!
