Cordoba

Another World Heritage site; I think we have seen about

half of the 900 by now

So how hot does it get in Cordoba? Even the public

parking lots are covered

Walls of the Alcazar

More alleys, patios, plazas

A particularly nice one

Statue of Averroes, the great Muslim

philosopher, commentator on Aristotle

And, by the site of the synagogue,

Maimonides, the great Jewish philosopher;

you're supposed to rub his shoes for good

luck, which I did...

We drove the 80 or so miles east to Cordoba, across rolling, sandy hills, to see the Mezquita, which will be a separate post.
