Today we travelled on the bus from Sevilla to Toledo with a stop at the amazing Córdoba. We had a guided tour in the town. We walked its small allies and streets, eating Tapas and visiting the most incredible Cathedral I've ever seen. The building is now a Catholic Cathedral, but it was built inside an old gigantic Mosque.
Back in the day when the Muslim were ruling the area, they built this Mosque with exquisite Moroccan decorations. Apparently they kept the building due to its beauty, but there is no clear reason as per why they didn't tear everything down to build the new building as was the common doing at the time. Walking inside you can feel the mix of culture and see areas with Arab decorations combined with Catholic statues on the same wall. This was one amazing experience that has been my favorite by far regarding culture and history.
We arrived in Toledo late at night. Had dinner before checking in our Hotel, and went to bed tired but happy.
These are the two stars of the tour: our guide Amanda and bus driver Carlos.
