Córdoba y Granada

Last weekend we took an excursion with ISA to Córdoba and Granada, both of which are located in Andalucía. There really isn't much to do in Cordoba except to visit the mezquita (mosque). I could give you a little history lesson about it, but basically what makes this mosque so interesting is that it really isn't a mosque anymore. The Christians took over the place and turned it into a cathedral of sorts, constructing their own architecture on top of the mosque. As weird as it sounds, it makes for an incredible structure. And because it is so old, you can see every type of architectural style that has been implemented since 1492. It's sort of like someone puked all the European architecture that ever existed on top of one building. Poetic, right? But SO cool.

From there we drove a couple hours to Granada! View of the Alhmabra at night:

Went to a flamenco show:

And then I met up with my friend Allie who is studying in Granada

The next morning we headed up to the Alhmabra:
