Cordoba

After a fantastic few days in Seville we got back on the train and made our way to Cordoba! It is thought that Cordoba was the most populated city in the world and the intellectual center of Europe around the end of the 10th and beginning of the 11th centuries. Our first stop (after coffee and churros, of course) was at the Alcazar de los Reyes Cristianos. This palace was one of the main residences of Isabella and Ferdinand, and we could see why they enjoyed it so much. The views from the palace towers were amazing!
