A delightful restoration

Just inside the walls, I found the most delightful little museum. It is an ancient Moorish house which has been lovingly restored, and also has an exhibition of how paper was made in the 10th century from rags. The guide book only gives it one sentence, but it is a real haven of beauty and calm. I don't know whether the owners are Muslim, Christian or no religion, but they clearly value the spirituality of the Muslims who lived in Cordoba for centuries, and have used it to create a wonderful tranquil atmosphere.
