Cordoba, Spain

I arrived in Cordoba in the morning, I had taken a 3 hour bus ride from Granada.  If any of you know me, I pretty much caught up on my Lonely Planet cities, read a bit of my book, put my music on and passed out for the rest of the ride.

When I arrived it took me a bit to find where I was staying, the streets are a bit of a maze.  When I did, I then headed out to explore and first walked down to the water and walked across the beautiful bridge overlooking the city.  I walked to the cathedral, not gonna, lie I´m getting a bit ¨catheral´d out,¨ but of course it´s a must see.  I walked over to the Alcazar de Lost Reyes and took a tour through that (getting a bit ¨castled out,¨as well) but it was beautiful to see them both. 

That night I went out to an Irish bar for St. Patty´s Day, which surprisingly was a bit too crazy for me.  Lots of techno and lights, which I´m not a huge fan of but it was fun. 

The next day I walked around, ate in some of the plazas and people watched and tried some more delicious tapas, wine and beer.  

 

After, I headed to the train station for my trip to Toledo.  The train from Cordoba to Madrid was about 2.5 hours and about 30 min by train from Madrid to Toledo.
