One of Europe's greatest hostels. Housed in a renovated mansion just a few minutes' walk from Bairro Alto's shopping and nightlife, the Oasis is also just down the hill from Miradoura de Santa Catarina.
Wedged between the winding streets of the judería neighborhood and the Río Guadalquivir lies the massive and captivating Mezquita (the Spanish word for mosque). It's free during the week before 10 am, which is also the best time to wander quietly in the cool semi-darkness of the arched red and white columns.

Currently in deep thought..
I am currently living in southern Spain, where I am learning the subtle art of the tapa crawl. I am a reader. I am a hesitant photographer. I am learning to feel at home in the world.
