Málaga

Our very last trip was to the city of Málaga.  While in Málaga, we toured another palace, which, to be completely honest, I totally forget the name of.  Nevertheless, it was just as beautiful as all the other palaces and teeming with plant life.  Our tour guide even showed us where Antonio Banderas stays when in Málaga, though I managed to not get the building in one single picture apparently.

Nuestra última excursión fue a la ciudad de Málaga.  Cuando en Málaga hicimos un tour por otro palacio, lo que no me acuerdo el nombre.  Sin embargo era tan hermoso como todos otros palacios y era llena de naturaleza.  Nuestra guía nos mostró donde vive Antonio Banderas cuando él está en Málaga.  Y aparentemente yo no pude sacar una foto de este edificio.







Afterwards, we went to the Picasso Museum, where we weren't allowed to take any pictures, which was fine by me because I'm not really a Picasso fan.  Even so, the experience was interesting to say the least.  I think my favorite part was the courtyard with the statue of Picasso because of all the beautiful trees- more jacaranda trees and Persian silk trees, the latter being an invasive species in actuality, but a beautiful one at that.

Después fuimos al museo de Picasso y no pudimos sacar ninguna foto.  No me molestó porque no soy una fanática de Picasso.  Aun así la experiencia era muy interesante por decir lo menos.  Creo que mi parte favorita era la plaza con la estatua de Picasso porque habían muchos árboles hermosos- más jacarandas y mimosas, y el último es una especie invasiva, pero es muy bonita.






When we finished touring, we all went to the beach and got some much needed rest and relaxation.


Cuando terminamos de hacer tour fuimos a la playa y descansamos.

Córdoba Mosque

During our time in Spain, we were lucky enough to stay in a place that had such a rich history.  One of the sights that anyone who visits Córdoba simply must see is the mosque.  What makes this mosque so special is its architecture.  The mosque had been expanded a few times in the past by various people and even houses a cathedral inside it.  We were told that the multiple building expansions were done to accommodate more worshipers.  The architecture in each addition varies so greatly that you feel like you are in a completely different place upon entering a new room.  Below you can see just how diverse areas of the mosque are: Durante nuestra estancia en España estábamos afortunados por quedarnos en un lugar que tiene una historia abundante.  Una de las vistas que un turista debería ver es la mezquita-catedral de Córdoba.  Lo que hace que esta vista sea tan especial es la arquitectura.  La mezquita ha sido extendida algunas veces en el pasado por personas varias e incluso tiene un

Córdoba Night Tour

The very first night our group of of students arrived in Córdoba, we were treated to a beautiful tour of part of the city.  Between the incredible architecture and the gorgeous flora, this was certainly a night to remember.  Below are some of the sights which most captured my attention: La primera noche de nuestra vacación nosotros hicimos un tour por la hermosa ciudad de Córdoba.  Entre la arquitectura increíble y la flora magnífica fue una noche que me acordaré por muchos años por supuesto.  Las siguientes photos son de las cosas que más me afectaron: This tree is one of many of its kind found all over the city.  If one looks closely, one can see little green fruit hidden among the leaves.  However, if one tried to eat this fruit, one would instantly regret it.  The fruit, which is actually an immature orange, is so bitter that biting into one would surely make one wish that one had made a different choice.  If one thought that the mature oranges tasted any better, one woul

Granada

On the way to our second all-day trip, which was to Granada, I took some pictures of the countryside speeding by outside the window of the bus.   The trees seen in the pictures below are olive trees, which are planted all over the countryside.   One of Spain’s main exports is olive oil.   In fact, when you buy olive oil that appears to be from Italy, it may in fact have come from Spain. Mientras viajamos a nuestra próxima excursión saque algunas fotos del campo que era afuera de mi ventana en el bus.   Los árboles en las fotos siguientes son olivos que se plantan por todas partes del campo.   Una de las exportaciones principales de España es el aceite de oliva. De hecho cuando compra aceite de oliva que parece ser de Italia, es posible que es de España.   While in Granada, we visited the Alhambra palace, which is yet another example of beautiful Islamic architecture.   Intricate wall carvings, vast pools of water, and a courtyard of lions were some of the sights we behe
