Yesterdays Trip to Cordoba y Alcala

Today I went on a tour to see other cities in Andalusia, Spain. Wow, what beautiful places. I can't believe how old these places are. Córdoba was first the capital of the Iberian peninsula when the Romans conquered it, then  when the Roman Empire fell, Spain was conquered by the moors in the 7 century, and Córdoba was than made the capital of Spain for the moors. The moors built there Mosque on top of a Roman basilica, and when the Christians conquered Spain in the 15th century they turned the mosque into a Cathedral. Wow! Its crazy how Spain has so much different impact on its history. Its amazing and was an enjoyable experience!
