Oct 3, 2008 - Córdoba, former Arabic capital or patio land

I know this site has great historical significance, but that on its own is not key for me. I did not know (or remember) until a few years ago that the Moors (Arabs) controlled most of what is now Spain for almost 800 years (ending in 1492 in Granada), and that their worldwide headquarters was where now sits Córdoba. ... Later, we learned that Córdoba actually hosts a "best patio" contest annually. ... Starting from our last trip, we have made ourselves honourary national patio judges as we like to frequent them so much.I know this site has great historical significance, but that on its own is not key for me.

We'd checked the train and bus times, but it wasn't evident that the train we wanted to catch doesn't run on Sundays! It also cost a small fortune, considering it cost about €10 to come up from Marbella by bus (about a two hour drive), but €23 for a 45min train trip to Córdoba. ... We still had plenty of time in Córdoba, which was even hotter than Seville. ... Both were very small, and though interesting, you wouldn't go to Córdoba just to see them. ... There's also a cathedral in the middle of it, which was added in the 16th Century after the Christians captured Córdoba. ... After walking around Córdoba some more we stopped in an Arab tea house for a refreshing cup of tea before heading back to Seville - by bus! We had more luck with the hostal today. ...
