However, one glance around the interior gave me the impression that the monument actually suffered from being converted back into a church after Christian monarchs finally conquered Cordoba. The Renaissance cathedral added inside the Mezquita after its conversion would be fairly standard if it stood alone, but it seems wildly out of place amidst the elegant red and white Islamic arches...
...regular passage of swiftlets. Once constructed - a three-story birdhouse with room for about 40,000 nests costs roughly $100,000 - you must attract tenants.

From my usual table, I look across the city and fall in love with it all over again. Following breakfast, I like to browse at Own, tel: (32-2) 217 9571, a good designer store filled with new names like N. Hoolywood from Japan, Acne and Whyred from Sweden and Belgium's own Atelier 11. After shopping, I'll reward myself with a good French Bordeaux at a new wine bar in Ixelles, Le Petit Canon...
