Snapshots (& food) of Cordoba

"Nunca merezcan mis ausentes ojos
Ver tu muro, tus torres y tu río,
Tu llano y sierra, ¡oh patria, oh flor de España!"
- Luis de Góngora, A Córdoba

([if] my absent eyes should never again deserve

 to see your walls, your tower and your river 

your plain and mountains, my homeland, the flower of Spain!)

Cordoba might be considered a small city now, but as we read in this post, it was once the capital of Al-Andalus (Islamic Spain) and the center of its cultural and political life.

Cathedral Mosque, Cordoba

One of the world's most impressive monuments, rich of history and culture.

As much as we wanted to, we couldn't spend the whole day in Cordoba at the Mercado Victoria eating & drinking, so the time came to visit the breathtaking Cathedral Mosque.

Zhujiajiao, China

A day in a beautiful water town, an hour away from the hustle and bustle of Shanghai.

Zhujiajiao (Zhūjiājiǎo 朱家角) is an ancient water town in an outer district of Shanghai. It was founded some 1700 years ago and it is one of China's most famous water villages due to its canals and stone bridges.

The Bund, Shanghai

Shanghai's riverwalk divides history on one side and modern architecture on the other.

This futuristic landscape is the modern part of Shanghai, called Pudong, and it was taken from the old part of the town, the Bund. We'll get to Pudong in the coming posts, but now it's all about the Bund.
