Gibraltar Apes (Baby Ape)

Traveled around Gibraltar, Seville and Cordoba last weekend. Nothing too special but I figured I would let you know how it went down
In Gibraltar we saw the water for the first time, traveled through the stalactite caves and had monkeys pee our heads. They are really cute, but suposedly very dangerous as well. You aren't suposed to pet them or even look at the male ones in the eyes (yesh) When it comes down to it, it is basically England with a Spanish accent. It is really warm down there and gorgeous, but probably only worth a day or so of your time, so it’s a good thing we only spent 4 or 5 hours there. Oh I forgot, it was RIDICULOUSLY windy next to the water. I almost lost my scarf 4 or 5 times. You can see in my pictures just how windy it was.

Stalactite Caves

See the mountain in the background? Africa

In Seville, we took tours of some of the bigger buildings like the Cathedral, and the Spanish Palacio where Star Wars; Clone war was filmed. We climbed to the very top of one of the Cathedral's tours which of course was 34 flights of stairs (ugh), but the view was beautiful. You could see the whole city below you. Later that day we saw a weird man dancing with two puppets in the street, and spent the night exploring the nightlife, which was amazing.
Cordoba's Roman Bridge

Cordoba... well, let’s just say our entire group got back to our hotel around 7am, were up by 830 and on a bus by 945. Once we got to Cordoba it was pouring rain, flooding the streets and making us all miserable on our WALKING tour. Needless to say I didn't take many pictures. I don't like having my camera be wet. But we saw the famous Cathedral (yes another one) of Cordoba which actually used to be a mosque before Isabel and Ferdinand took over Spain in 1492 and kicked all the Muslims out (or converted them).

Anyways, a picture is worth a thousand words so check out my picture or view more in the link below
