California Images - Venice 2012 / Cordoba 2012 & 2013
We are still in Cordoba this evening, in central Andalusia. A Roman gate into town from the Roman bridge on the Guadalquivir River.
The rooftop lounge of a small, family-run hotel, off of the 17th-century Plaza de la
Corredera.
Has it survived both austerity and covid-19? One can only hope.
Alcazar of the Christian Kings
"served as one of the primary residences of Isabella I of Castile and Ferdinand II of Aragon."
A young couple taking what looked like bridal photos. You could ask for a
worse setting!
It says
here
"... construction was ordered by the King Alfonso XI of Castile in the year 1328,
on previous constructions (the Islamic-era Umayyad Alcázar,
also the previous residence of the Roman Governor)."
A street of pop-up shops in a modern part of town. Most of the merch looked to
be targeted at turistas.
And now for something completely different: Venezia, Italia
