As most of you already know, me and my other half went to Spain - mainly Malaga, Granada and Cordoba. It was a 5d4n backpacking holiday and we had much fun there - includes all the shopping we did. May be our viewers should know that ZARA is originated from Spain.
We went to all the palaces and fortresses in each of the cities and it is easy to get around in the cities by foot. Of course, you have to put your backpack somewhere safe. In this post, I would like to share specifically about masjids that we found.
1. Masjid Al-Murobito (Spanish: Mezquita Al-Murobito) City of Cordoba
Situated inside Jardines de la Merced (Gardens of Merced), in Avenida De Los Tejares (Avenue Tejares), city of Cordoba It features something that is very unusual for a masjid in Europe - a dome. It is such a small masjid and you wouldn't expect to see it in the middle of a garden.
We asked one of the shopkeeper in the La Mezquita (Masjid Cordoba) complex. He is a Morrocan and luckily he can speak English. We: Assalamualaikum, do you know any mosque around here?
He: Waalaikumsalam, mosque, for pray or for visit?
It was a bit surprising to hear such thing. Of course we were looking a place to perform our prayer but, he was speaking the truth. We were in the city where masjids are for tourists to visit. Well, this is also true in some parts of Malaysia - a Muslim country?
2. Masjid at-Taqwa City of Granada
Situated somewhere near the Elvira Street. The biggest masjid I found in Spain - it two floors. It has good facility for taking wuduk and toilets. I found this www.granadamosque.com when I googled for mosque in Granada. I don't know whether that Granada Mosque is the same as Masjid at-Taqwa. Let's have a look inside the masjid.
3. Masjid in Malaga
No, we didn't found one. Because we didn't ask. Because we didn't have to. Because we perform all our prayer in the place we stay. May be our viewers can share the masjids they found in Malaga =)
Alright, have a good weekend! C ya!
