Córdoba, Spain. Another of the many cute twisty streets in the Judería that we had fun getting lost in.
Córdoba, Spain. Yet another of the many cute twisty streets in the Judería. And yes, we did get lost many times, traversing the Judería to the local library in order to use the internet. Note how they all look very similar. You learn to use landmarks very quickly. And even then, you sometimes get lost.

The Roman bridge over the Guadalquivir river.
A view from the Roman bridge over the Guadalquivir river.
Walking across the Roman bridge.
Cool mosaics cover many of the roads and sidewalks.
The mosaics are made out of small stones stood on end. They are really cool to look at, but can be difficult to walk on over long periods of time.
The old city wall. But... there is some discussion that this may just be a reconstruction of the original done in 1958.
