This past weekend I went with my program to the Alpujarras. Its a mountain range near the coast that is known for its food. There's a trail there that starts at the Mediterranean Sea in Spain and ends in Greece. We hiked on it for a bit. Turns out I'm a bit of an adventurer. Alpujarras only took two days, so being the culture freak that I am, on the following Sunday instead of going to the beach like most everybody else did, I went to Cordoba. Cordoba has La Mezquita. Its one of the biggest mosque turned cathedral in Spain. If you haven't noticed, or if I haven't mentioned it, all of the large cathedrals here were once mosques.
Every.
Single.
One.
Unless its new. I have to admit, I had La Mezquita built up a bit and I was a little more than disappointed to find out that the mosque was now a cathedral and that it was little more than a huge room with lots of arches.
Here are some of my pictures of my adventures throughout Spain this past weekend:
