The quaint town of Cordoba with a population of about 300, 000 is perched on the south bank of the Rio Guadalquivir. Islamic architecture, quaint courtyards, balconies dripping with flowers make this one of the most romantic cities you could visit. At the time that we were there a festival was on and the whole town had a carnival air. Women wore traditional, colourful frilly white, red and black dresses and high heels, their dark hair tied in a bun with a red rose behind their ear. Men wore traditional pantalons and red or black shirts. They came on decorated horse drawn carriages through the narrow, cobbled streets and everyone headed for the tented carnival area near the river.
They drank beer and sangria, sang and swirled to Flamenco music. It was a good time to be in Cordoba and a pleasant change from an afternoon watching a bullfight in the ancient ring.
