Cordova, or totally muslim Spain

So, after very strange night in Cadiz i took bus and after 4 cold hours (becaus they have some problems with conditioners) in bus i was in Cordova. Why did i want to go there? Because there is very beautiful and nice church that used to be mosque, but was transformed into church. That is pretty interesting, but really, i exected to find sonething else there. Ok, church is nice, but it isnt enough. Exactly, the most interesting thing that i found there was my host: the guy from Polestine tbat literaly introduced me to the muslim culture: he told me a lot about ranadan and invited to the family diner with very traditional food, that i loved, but where i felt quiteuncomfortable, because all prople there were connected to each other. More i travel more i dont get this borders between countries: look, in totally catholic sain there is a huge muslim comunity, right in themiddle of Andalucia, whats the use of borders here? And this isnt the only one example, they are everywhere, just look around you!
Oh, i forgot that i was talking about Cordova :) so guys, if you are there, go to the church (it us free on sundays from opening till 10:30) and dont forget to cross the brdge at sunset, because vew on the city from the other sid is amazing!
