Our hostel was located on a small, one way street in the historic area of Cordoba. We could not find the way, largely because the bridge we needed was under construction. Finally, two police officers were kind enough to excort us there. We literally drove around the city to access a different bridge and then made our way back to the hostel.

Notice the cross in the background which was put up after the Jew's were expelled from Spain in 1492. The synagogue was then transformed into a hospital and a shoemaker's chapel.
