The ninth and forty-eighth chapter is beautiful because of loss
To be honest, Yunluo still doesn’t know where this is. At that time, he just followed the crowd and was taken here, just called Flamengo Carnival!
People in traditional costumes sang and danced in various tents and tasted various delicacies. When Yunluo and Yan Chenyu wandered with the crowd in the carnival at night, they felt the feeling of time and space intertwined, and they would be involuntarily excited. If Yunluo put on that big skirt, Yunluo would dance his own melody~
When Yunluo and Yan Chenyu left, the Sevilla carnival continued and became more and more intense. Perhaps like the story of Cinderella, the most exciting moment was at midnight. But as tourists who were considered to be short-term stays, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu had to continue their trip tomorrow morning to the next city of Cordoba, and had to say goodbye to this never-ending stage.
Come to Seville in September, where is a sea of flowers. On the streets, the balconies of every household are blooming with beautiful flowers. Women in traditional Andalusian costumes are wearing flowers on their heads. Because of the arrival of September, Seville has turned into a big flower.
Here you feel not only the beautiful scenery, history, but also the happy atmosphere of the entire city. If you are a Sevilla for a few days during September, you will feel that everything in life is so beautiful.
Cordoba is known as the three pearls of Andalusia, as well as Granada and Sevilla. Compared with the atmosphere of Seville and the exotic style of Granada, Cordoba is like a child who has been living quietly in his own world, so beautiful and low-key. Cordoba in spring is particularly beautiful.
There are rows of white houses hidden in the narrow alleys, and every household places the most gorgeous flowers on the windowsill. This city, known for its garden-style courtyard, is indeed well-known. Every alley, every courtyard and even every step of the city creates a dreamlike feeling.
When I came to Cordoba, especially after seeing the Grand Mosque, Yunluo mistakenly thought that this was a Moorish city. In fact, it was not. As early as the ancient Roman period, it was already a brilliant cultural center. But the towering standing of the Grand Mosque made other dynasties look dull.
Only one night was staying in Cordoba, so early in the morning, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu set off from Sevilla and asked the front desk of the youth apartment to call a taxi for Yunluo and Yan Chenyu.
In less than 11 euros, 15 minutes, I arrived at the Seville Railway Station, which took more than two hours when Yunluo and Yan Chenyu came. It is still a good deal for three people to take a taxi. It would cost 7.8 euros if you take the bus (1.3 euros per person, turn over once)
But when I got up early and rushed to the late market, Yunluo and two people were excited to buy tickets, the staff told Yunluo and Yan Chenyu that the train to Cordoba would be more than 40 euros per person, and it was ave (fast train) Yunluo! I found each person before on the West Railway Network and it was only an hour from Sevilla to Cordoba, so there was no express train!
But Yunluo and Yan Chenyu have to buy an ordinary train of 11.1 euros. It will take 1 pm. In order to save money, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu can only choose to wait at the train station. They waste all the morning in vain, which makes me feel distressed. So if the time is not enough, you must check the train times in advance and make a travel plan.
It was already past 2:00 p.m. I had to rush to Madrid tomorrow morning, and the train tickets were bought on Xizhi.com. Yunluo and Yan Chenyu had only a pitiful half day to get to know this beautiful city. There was no other way except to cherish every second.
At this time, Yunluo began to look forward to a real free trip again. He always believed that the soul of travel is the feeling of wandering. If everything is arranged in advance and cannot be adapted, it lacks the feeling of wandering and cannot linger in the unexpected discoveries and surprises that occur during the trip. It is a journey of losing the soul.
But for Chinese people like Yunluo and Yan Chenyu who are not easy to use for passports, it is unrealistic to make decisions on everything temporarily. Not to mention that the budget has increased significantly, it is difficult for even the country to make a breakthrough (when applying for a visa, air tickets, hotels, train tickets and other reservations and payment slips are necessary materials)
Don't complain. Keep following Yunluo's memories and wandering in Cordoba.
The Cordoba Railway Station is built outside the old city, with a modern architectural style. It is a very simple building with a feeling of metal. Fortunately, such a station is built outside the city, otherwise it would have failed the almost perfect old city in the protected area. Unexpected discoveries and surprises are really a journey of losing its soul.

Still walking to find the hotel. It is not close to the railway station, and it takes about 20 minutes to walk. The hotel is located in the alley next to the Christian Kings Castle, hidden very deeply. Fortunately, it is already difficult for Yunluo and Yan Chenyu to survive. When you find such a beautiful alley, there will be a temporary residence for you, I believe you will be as happy as Yunluo.
It was said to be a hotel, but it was actually just a local residential house. After calling at the so-called front desk for a long time, a friend came out to receive Yunluo and Yan Chenyu. After seeing Yunluo and Yan Chenyu's reservation, he directly took a bunch of keys and handed them over. Seeing Yunluo and Yan Chenyu in a daze, he remembered to take Yunluo and Yan Chenyu over.
The "hotel" that night was a standard two-bedroom and one living room. It is also the largest hotel on this trip.
Walking out of the hotel's alley, you can see the huge castle of Christian Kings. It was built in the 13th century and is a palace and fortress of Alfonso X. The castle has beautiful gardens and fountains, and is one of the most beautiful castles in Andalusia. The tickets are not expensive, only 4.5 euros, but Yunluo and Yan Chenyu did not enter. When you come to Cordoba, you will walk in the small town like a garden courtyard.
I took a map in the information pavilion next to the castle of the Christian Kings, but found that the map was useless in Cordoba. There was no street in the entire old city of Cordoba that was straight, and the map was placed in front of me and I felt like I had entered a maze.
So the map was thrown into the backpack as a souvenir and wandered around the alleys of the old city without purpose and without knowing the direction.
Every old street in the city of Cordoba is protected too perfectly. The streets are not wide and the stone roads are not so flat. The only neat thing is that the roadside is decorated with flowers. It happened to be cloudy in Cordoba that afternoon, otherwise you would definitely see a more beautiful scene.
Every alley far away from the Grand Mosque is very quiet, and it is rare for someone to walk by. In the direction of Yunluo, the idiots will immediately lose their direction by turning a few turns in such an alley.
It is hard to imagine that such a quiet city, even a small town, carries the glory of ancient Rome and Byzantines. In the 10th century AD, the civilization here has reached its peak. It is said that the residents exceed one million (the current population is 300,000). There are many such alleys in Cordoba. If it is not famous, it will naturally be less popular.
Yunluo and Yan Chenyu didn’t look for the most famous and beautiful “flower street” in the legend. There should be a lot of tourists there, but Yunluo doesn’t like that feeling. Why do you have to follow the footsteps of your predecessors to appreciate it?
Unlike places like the Sagrada Familia and the Alhambra Palace, Yunluo is more willing to follow his own feelings to gain a unique sensory experience in life.
It specifically describes the beautiful courtyard in Cordoba: For thousands of years, Cordoba's lush flowery courtyard has provided people with a paradise for cooling off and chatting and entertainment in the hot summer. This architectural design may have originated from Rome and was followed by Arabs, but they also added fountains to the courtyard.
In the first half of the month, marks marked with "yards" can be seen everywhere in the narrow alleys of Cordoba, inviting you to enjoy the flowery gardens. Many courtyards will participate in the annual courtyard competition in Cordoba for the Best Courtyard Award. Near the private lio street of Calledesanba, a courtyard is the most popular 400 meters west of the Grand Mosque. Entrance is free, but voluntary donations are welcome.
Yunluo and Yan Chenyu also did not follow the map as mentioned in the lp. They just walked around casually and stopped at the entrance of a courtyard and saw such a scene of flowers blooming in their dreams.
The old town of Córdoba is small and can be reached anywhere by foot. Those streets and alleys are easy to get lost, but you can walk to the foot of the Grand Mosque when you are fascinated, so it is also difficult to completely lose your way in Córdoba, because all the roads there seem to lead to the Grand Mosque.
The Grand Mosque is the largest signpost in the city and the greatest significance of the existence of Cordoba today. When Yun Luo came here, his initial wish was just to see the red and white round arch.
The walls of the Grand Mosque made Yun Luo feel that this was not a religious building, but it was clearly a city wall that was difficult to attack and defend easily. Only a few typical Arabic door holes that were sealed made people distinguish some of their origins.
Yunluo and Yan Chenyu walked under the high wall for a long time, but they could not find the entrance to the Grand Mosque. They originally planned to ask the shop owner, but suddenly turned around and found such a huge building, but the entrance door was pitiful. They could only shake their heads and laugh at themselves. Fortunately, they didn't stand at the entrance and asked where the entrance was.
The ticket office was in the courtyard, and entered through this door with the ticket. The round arch that I had been thinking about day and night was right in front of me. Although I had seen many pictures of this round arch, I was still shocked when I was in the scene.
The Grand Mosque of Cordoba is one of the most beautiful buildings left by Muslims in Spain, but for clouds, the rows of columns that look like mazes are the most beautiful, no doubt about it. The round arches with gold inlaid decorations and red and white stripes give people infinite imagination and feeling. (To be continued, please search for Piao Tianzi, the novel is better and faster!
