Very fine Judea museum in the areas de judios. One of the best described exhibits and history that we have seen in a while. See above, included, from Maimonides.

And, of course extensive wanderings in the amazing mosque-cathedral.

Harisa and a cazuela for lunch. Restaurant with an Arabic selection.

Roman bridge and roman forum rounded out a busy day.

For those following the blog, additional pictures on flickr.
