Since my first visit to the city of Córdoba (Spain) I have fallen in love with its beauty.
Many visitors to this city are captivated by the beauty of the interior of the cathedral, where the Moorish architecture of symmetrical arches along almost the entire length of the cathedral is a feast for the eyes.
However, for me the greatest beauty of the city is on the outside and mainly in the views one has from the vicinity of the Roman bridge.
I love walking around this area and contemplating from the end where the cathedral is located the Roman bridge reflected on the Guadalquivir river with the great Calahorra Tower in the background.
I love to see the moats near the Calahorra Tower and from there I can see a panoramic view of the great Mosque-Cathedral.
I love going into the orange courtyard of the cathedral, where in the spring months you can smell the unmistakable scent of the citrus fruit trees.
And I never stop enjoying strolling through the streets full of people, contemplating all the beautiful places of this city.
Best regards.
