Day 5:

Cordoba

Mezquita The main place to visit in Cordoba is the Mezquita, a wonderful mosque which is one of great creations of Islamic architecture. See its shimmering golden mosaics and rows and rows of red-and-white-striped arches disappearing off into infinity.

After that, go to the Juderia, a beautiful Jewish district which is today a maze of narrow streets and small plazas, white-washed buildings with flowery window boxes, and wrought-iron doorways giving glimpses of plant-filled patios.

Cordoba by night In the Castle of the Christian Monarchs, at the southwest of the Mezquita, discover its gardens, full of fish ponds, fountains, orange trees, flowers and topiary which are among the most beautiful in Andalucia. Have a break visiting the archaeological museum, housed in a Renaissance mansion, provides a real insight into pre-Islamic Cordoba.

To finish, go to the Plaza del Potro and have a look to the Museo Julio Romero de Torres devoted to this local painter (same name that the museum) who specialized in sensual portraits of Cordoban women.

    Germany - Cologne

    Cologne Cologne is situated on the beautiful Rhine River.

    Locals hypothesize that the legacy of Italian blood and culture in Cologne, colonized by the Romans more than 1500 years ago, makes the people more jovial and lighthearted. Cologne is the largest city on the Rhine.

    Kolsch is not only the dialect spoken here but, also the name of their own top-fermented beer. There are more than 4,000 pubs, restaurant's and brewery taverns in Cologne.
