Home Cinema (well, almost!)

Spanish people love going to the movies. But somehow, the movies shown in their original language (with Spanish subtitles) instead of being dubbed, are not great crowd-pleasers.
At the Alkázar Cinema, they show a new movie in English every week. So far, Marcos and I have actually had the entire place completely to ourselves! And that for only 4,50 € each! No turning off our phones, being careful with the noisy snack bags or whispering in the dark. We just feel right at home!

P.S. Was not impressed with movie of the week, Takers…

The Heart of Cordoba

The Jewish Quarter – The Heart of Cordoba. This slogan is part of a new campaign to promote the treasures and charm of the historic quarter. If the Mezquita (mosque) is the soul of Cordoba, then the Jewish Quarter surrounding it is the heart. It makes sense.

All establishments were given new bags to give to customers, and 3.000 pointessias were distributed for us to put in the balconies. And then there was the (somewhat annoying) Christmas music from the giant speakers placed all over Deanes (forcing me to turn off Nat King Cole during most of December!). Tomorrow, Christmas will be over, and I’ll start removing all the decorations we so carefully put up more than a month ago. Below you have a few images from the decorations around our neighbourhood. At least we don’t have to take that down!
