Mezquita.

I had lunch on a terrace. Chorizo al vino and marmossa (a sort of dip with olive oil, aubergine and egg). It was delicious. Then I was offered a vino dulces from Andalusia. Very fine but so sweet.

Then I went to visit the Mezquita.

The Mezquita is a great mosque, dating back 12 centuries and in the 16th century a cathedral was built inside the mosque.

You enter through the patio de los Naranjos. Trees filled with oranges glitter in the sun. It is where faithfuls used to wash before prayer.

Then you walk inside. BAM. You are surrounded by arches and pillars. 850 of them columns of granite, jasper and marble support the roof. It creates an stunning visual effect. I was just blown away.

It is very dark and cool inside and it was hard to take pictures.

Then you suddenly find yourself in a cathedral.
