Spain - part II

Cordoba

This is inside the Mosque of Cordoba. It was taken over by Christians in the 16th century. A cathedral was put in the middle of the mosque.

This is the inside of the cathedral that is inside the mosque.

Seville

This is Seville's cathedral. It is where Christopher Columbus is buried. It has a great tower to climb up to see the whole city of Seville.

The bull ring in Seville.

Ronda

This city has this beautiful gorge right in the middle of it. It is called a whitewash town because all of the buildings are painted white. This was taken from the huge bridge in the middle.

El Torcal

We hiked through these weird rock formations. It was really cool!

Granada

This is inside the Alhambra in Granada. This place gets a lot of hype, but we were underwhelmed. It had some cool architecture, but nothing that wowed us.

Alcala de Jucar

This neat little city built up against the rocks. Some of the houses are actually built into the mountain. We hiked up to the castle at the top.

Albararacin

This was probably one of my favorites. The mazelike streets were a lot of fun to walk through. All of the buildings are some color of red. This was taken at the castle and fortress walls.

Valencia

This is called the City of the Arts and Sciences. They are a Theater, museum and aquarium.

Bull Ring in Valencia

The Valencia fans were the best! Valencia beat Seville and the fans went crazy!

Montenjos

This is a natural bath that has a constant temperature of about 25 C. We took turns going for a dip. I think that is me swimming way out in the picture. There was a small cave at the bend.

It was beautiful!
