Juderia.

Walking through the tiny streets of Juderia (old jewish quarter), the heart of Córdoba, it feels not much has changed since the 10th century. At that time Córdoba was the Western capital of the Islamic empire, rivalling Baghdad in wealth, power and sophistication. When you walk through Córdoba and see the Mezquita, you understand why. 

The streets are tiny, so tiny that cars cannot drive through. The balconies are packed full of brightly coloured flowers that look charming on the whitewashed walls. 

Then you suddenly hit these enormous sandy coloured walls...
