Guadalquivir River begins life in the Sierra de Cazorla  near the east coast of Spain and enters the Gulf of Cadiz through marshy lowlands some 657 kilometers later.  The marshy lowlands are said to hide the hidden city of Tartessos believed to be covered in silt. The west bank is a popular place to appreciate …

The aged and in places crumbling exterior of La Mezquita in Cordoba, Spain, holds no clue as to the amazing sights that await within.  There have been a myriad of places of worship built on this site.  First of all the Romans built a pagan temple, then during the years 600 to 987 the building …

Fresh and salted fish and …
