the Alhambra - the summer

lion. In 1492. the Moors were
banished from Spain and the
outside of the Alhambra was
redone by the Christian kings.
Europeans tended to flaunt
wealth and this is reflected in
the ornate architecture. How
ever, once inside, one can
easily see the Moorish design.
It was against their religion to
reproduce images of living
things. Therefore, all designs
are geometric. Few colors are

as well as aesthetics. Cool
running water under the floors
cooled the interior building.
Sauna baths and fountains
functioned in the Alhambra
over fioo years ago, 't he gar
dens. General Life, were
splendid with sculptured
hedges and a variety of flow
ers and fountains.
Leaving Granada behind we
headed to Seville. Here we ran
into six students from Sher
man County small world!
Some of the major sights in
Seville are Maria Luisa Park,
government buildings, the
barrio - or old section - and the
cathedral.
The cathedral in Seville is
the third largest, after the
Vatican and St. Paul's in
Iindon. One altar boasts over
$:if!.rWi.oKi worth of gold, at
current prices!
It was in Seville that a few of
us ventured out on our own to
have an authentic Spanish
meal. Phrase board in hand,
we made quite an impression
on our waiter, not to mention
other diners!
Our next major stop before
Madrid was Cordoba. The
town is built around a mosque
that will hold 60,000 people.
Over 1,000 columns help sup
port the ceiling. These
columns were salvaged by
Moorish adventurers, some
are Roman, Byzantine and
Greek. Charles V commis
sioned a cathedral to be built
in the center of this mosque.
The choir loft alone took one
man 40 years to hand carve.
Throughout Spain, we dis
covered structure that took
50-100-150 years to complete.
Therefore, one can see dif
ferent materials and styles in
one building.
The next bus trip took six
hours. It was during our tra
veling that friendships with
other students and teachers
developed. With the many
marvelous sights we enjoyed,
new friendships were one of
the major highlights of our
European adventures.
Next week Madrid and
Paris!
