Malaga:After had landed successfully at the airport in Malaga we took a local train to Malaga. At Malaga railway station there is also a bus station, we bought our bus tickets to next day to Cordoba.

A rainbow say goodbye to us and we leave Malaga and heading for Cordoba next morning. Cordoba:
After just a little bit more then a hour on the bus we reached Cordoba bus station. It was a very beautiful road along the mountains and we had a lot of nice view out from the bus windows. The bus also had WIFI :-) . The cost of a ticket was about 8 Euro.
Because of the heavy rain we took a taxi cab from the bus station to the apartment we had booked, not very expensive, but ask for the price first! The apartment was placed at the edge of the old town so there were no long walks for us.

Because of the rain we visit a lot of restaurants to warm us up. 
One thing that's a must to see if you visit Cordoba is the Great Mosque of Cordoba, or in Spanish: Mezquita de Cordoba.
The garden of the Great Mosque of Cordoba. 
We didn't visit the inside of the Mosque this day, we planed to do it the day after.

The Roman Bridge is almost 2000 years old. It's 250 meters long and 9 meters wide, it must have been very impressive in that time as it is now.
