We finally woke up to good weather at our b&b in the countryside near Granada but unfortunately it was our day to leave. The wheat fields and olive groves were especially beautiful today.
We drove to Cordoba and returned our rental car at the bus station. A short taxi ride later we were at the city walls--no cars inside the walls so we had to walk the rest of the way.
I loved the city of Cordoba. It didn't hurt that we were there on a national holiday and also during the Festival of the Crosses. Everyone was out in the streets having a great time. Cordoba is known for its beautiful patios--interior courtyards that are beautifully decorated with potted plants. One of the best places to see these patios is the neighborhood of San Basilio.
During the Festival of the Crosses, several floral crosses are placed in squares throughout the city and people gather to eat, drink, dance and socialize around them.
A nice view of The Mezquita
That night we walked around the outside walls of the Mezquita of Cordoba.
For late dinner we had more Salmorejo and other tapas typical of the region. All the restaurants and bars had live music for the celebratory mood of the holiday.
