Andalucia: Cordoba, Sevilla, and Granada

 Ceiling in the Palace of La Alhambra - Granada

The most unfortunate thing about our time in Andalucia, is that almost all of our photos of this area were lost.  Tragic.

Andalucia is probably the most interesting part of Spain to visit (I'm sure it will irk some to hear this).  There is the beautiful mosque in Cordoba with its beautiful red and white arches; Sevilla has the impressive Giralda and Alcazar; and Granada has the exquisite Moorish palace - La Alhambra.

Whenever we are told by a friend or acquaintance that they are going to visit Spain, this is the region we immediately suggest.  It is far too often that people go to Spain and they visit Madrid and Barcelona only.  While there are interesting sites and activities in these two cities, they do not compare to the beauty and history of the southern part of Spain.  

If you ever go to Spain do not miss Andalucia!
