Last week we took a day trip to Cordoba to see the Cathedral (originally a mosque). The arches and overall architectural features of the Cathedral were beautiful. Cordoba itself a cute city with small windy streets that are lined with shops and restaurants. After our tour of the Cathedral we all went out to lunch as a group and ordered flamenquín and salmorejo, both dishes typical of Cordoba. I  really enjoyed the flamenquin, which is ham wrapped in breadcrumbs (everything here has ham in it), but I did not really like the Salmorejo, which is basically a thick soup. Also, speaking of ham, the other night in the dining hall I got really excited because I thought they were serving hamburgers, but it turns out they were actually burgers of ham. We are all now on a mission to find a restaurant that serves steaks or any form of beef. I will report back on how that goes!
