After sleeping over in Toledo for the night, we left for Córdoba just a few hours outside of Seville. The picture to the right is the Roman Bridge which was built in the 1st Century B.C. and spans the same river that flows through Seville-The Guadalquivir. Córdoba is known for many things but one of the most famous world wide is Mezquita or the Grand Mosque. After the Christians reconquered Córdoba they converted the mosque into a Christian cathedral so there is influences from both cultures, and is absolutely stunning. We didn't stay for too long however because we still had about a 2 hour bus ride to Sevilla!
