we spent our last day in madrid by going to retiro park and the flee market (el rastro).
retiro park is madrid's equivalent of nyc's central park. i think it might be bigger than central park, but i'm not certain of that.
after leaving retiro park, we went to el rastro, a HUGE flee market in madrid. there were so many people there. it was incredible. it wasn't even worth stopping to buy anything. this is only one of the streets we went down.
after the flee market, we said good-bye to madrid and hello to cordoba. we got to cordoba by way of high speed train. the high speed train is so cool. we rode it a few times and got up to as fast as 185 miles per hour. highly recommended mode of transportation if you go to europe.
we got to cordoba too late to visit any of the tourist attractions, so we walked around.
the sidewalks in some of the older cities were really neat. the spaniards put rocks on their side (vertical and tall as opposed to horizontal and flat) and arranged them in patterns.
the mezquita. more pictures to come.

the hotel we stayed here was called maimonides. i like that name.
