Happy New Year! Day and night in Cordoba.
Again, a happy year 2020 to you all!
The worst night of the year for our dog, new year's eve, is over, I am thankful for that (but so sad about the 30 apes that had to die in a fire at Krefeld Zoo, in Germany, probably because of sky lanterns).
As I want to be an optimist, I hope that 2020 will be a creative, healthy, and peaceful year.
Before the end of the year, we spent two days in the historical centre of Cordoba (Andalusia, Spain). We haven't been there for a long time, 15 years or so, just before we moved to Spain for good, and it was a pleasure again to stroll through the narrow streets, as well during the day as during the night.
Unfortunately, the centre is so crowded that some residents do not feel at home any more in their town because of the permanent noise, the many bars, the jammed streets (claims can been on different buildings, like on the last picture here). I had to get up quite early to be able to take some pictures without groups of visitors on them. Something will have to be done at a global level to regulate overtourism at many places in the world. We cannot go on focusing exclusively on growth, without concern for the impacts.
Here some pictures of the town. Some windows and doors will be posted in another post. Enjoy!
