Cordoba, Spain



Cordoba is a small, quaint town. The narrow roads of Cordoba, although less trafficed than those of Seville, sometimes force you to hug the wall so a car can pass. Needless to say, pretty much all the roads through the city are one way and there are no FUV´s.

That there were so few cars, though, made it a very pleasent place to walk about; and you could pretty much walk the whole town in one day--which i did twice.
The first day i walked around most of the town in about 4 hours. then i spent about 3 hours hanging out in the hostel courtyard talking with an Argentinian guy in spanish. i practiced spanish as much as one does in a couple months of school, i reckon. it was good fun but mentally taxing--as his english was quite poor and sometimes trying to figure out what the hell i or he was talking about left us both a little weary.
The second day i walked the town with two Belgian girls who, although never bothersome, maintained positive conversation and giggling that one could not help but find endearing. they were impresivly well informed and quite worldly. i was smitten.

And the back alley tapas bars were quite nice too.
