This is my story and I wanted to share it all to those travelers. See not just an ordinary another man made attraction in the Spanish land but one of the most interesting. The first time I saw the picture above- my thought flew to the Middle East and was surprised to be told it is indeed located in Spain.

It is not comparable in size to Sagrada Familia in Barcelona travel but equally interesting and historical. It was less talked in the blogs of the many but is worthy of every single attention that writers gave to it.

The picture above is just a glance of a small part of the whole Mezquita de Cordoba located in Cordoba. In the Spain Map, Cordoba is located in the southern part of the country. Cordoba was the cultural and artistic center during the 10th century and was anticipated as the biggest city in the coming centuries if not of the world but in Western Europe.

Cordoba collects the mementos left by the Catholic, Islamic and Jewish civilizations. Mezquita de Cordoba is just one of them. It boasts the largest and biggest mosque around the globe. The construction of this mosque begun in 784.

You will enter the mosque in the Patio de Los Naranjos to a couryard with Olive Trees and Cypresses planted in 18th century, Palm Tress and Orange Tress which you can also see from this courtyard the tower which was built in the 16th century and finished in 17th century.

The splendor of the first section of the mosque took the builders seven years to finish yet the result was comparable to the magnificence of the construction during the Hellenic civilization.

The transept has a mixture of Flemish and Hispano styles. The processional entrance will also delight the lenses of your camera for it is full of colors, designs and curves. Purisima Concepcion is one of the extensions and the biggest at that. Take note of the seven naves which are also part of the expansion in the 19th century. While in the next century, rows were added a total of 12 rows which are the biggest around the world. Villaviciosa Dome, is another chapel to love in the mosque and of course the Mezquita de Cordoba.

Why can’t I seem to find a substantial information on the most beautiful and tranquil place in the Spanish land- Lleida?

I was a travel connoisseur; I experienced what its like to dine and drink wine in fine restaurants in France and museum hop in Italy, and spent a week tasting tapa all over Spain. But it was Lleida that caught my heart.

The choice came from a mature and well traveled person who knew what it means when we say just simply beautiful. Travel in Lleida opened so many facets and dimension of appreciation of colors and attractions. It sits right on the midst of the fertile land of River Segre. As history was told, it became the refuge of so many cultures through its existence. And how it flared against all these ravages can be connected to its symbol of capital, Seu Vella.

Let us see now the major attractions for a travel in Lleida.

• Seu Vella is referred to as the Old Cathedral built in the early 13th century.

• Old Wall Ruins are located just a few meters from Seu Vella. Onces this wall surrounded the whole city together with the Arab Fortress called Zuda which was built in 9th Century.

• Plaza de la Paeria is a historic architecture with beautiful and picturesque corners. The city Hall is located here. A 13th Century Romanesque architecture.

• The Cathedral Square boast two main magnificent building namely the Hospital de Santa Maria a charming and extravagantly made in Gothic in style building which is a former convent.

• Sant Antoni is a great place for those who loves to shop and buy something to take back home.

• Rambla de Ferran is a place to take a deep breath and relax after a days touring in the city. That is if you still have the time to hold hands and stroll in this place. A lovely place.

A visit to Leida in Spain means you have to take a look of the whole city. These major attractions may be seen in different eyes but for me, these attractions are just the icing of the cake. The true beauty of the place is in the totality of the picture that it paints for each travelers that came to visit.
