I went for a walk on my own and saw the Roman Temple ruins and the Plaza de la Corredera. Free to see these two. The temple is so cool. It’s the remains of a few pillars in the middle of the city here but to imagine it in the hustle and bustle of ancient … Continue reading Next day in Cordoba
1st full day in Cordoba
