Castillo de Almodovar

Some Interesting Things About Cordoba:

-Used to be one the major cities in the Roman Empire in Hispania.  It is where the administration was set up, ambassadors and other politicians congregated.

-The Catedral still displays its spectular, enigmatic history, a mesh of Muslim and more recent Catholic origin                          

-Located in the South of Spain, Andalucia, people are notoriously known for their- what is easiest to be described as a- lisp because they don't pronounce the "s" and other consonants, and quick tongue, because they speak really fast compared to those in the north.

-Some the popular local dishes: Robo de toro, Flamenquin, Salmorejo.

-Has one of the largest juderias in the world.

-Yes, there are SIESTAS and stores close for a couple of hours.

      

                  Welcome to El Castillo de Almodovar

Today, some friends and I visited the Castle of Almodovar, located 30 min from the central city of Cordoba.  On top of a hill with incredible views, this castle was built in the Fourteenth century for Peter I "The Cruel."  It's more of a fortress, Iberian and before Roman, that has undergone several reconstructions. 

Great group of people on top of the castle.

 Looking out on the balcony.

 Oh Yeah!  I  can conquer the world from here!

 Light snack and one of my favorite drinks- tinto de verano.
