Beautiful Cordoba….. I took these photos during a visit to see the annual ‘Los Patios’ show in May 2008. My Spanish language teacher had arranged the day trip for her students – both English and Spanish – to see not only the gardens where the local people show off their beautiful displays of flowers, but also a couple of the famous landmarks in Cordoba. It was a long, tiring (lots of walking) day, but well worth the experience. Perhaps next I’ll move to Cordoba.  :)
