As with mosques around the world both now and in the past, the Mezquita is approached by a courtyard. The Patios de los Naranjos is lined with orange trees and fountains for ablutions and though the original orange trees survive the current fountains are just ornamental.
On entering the mosque itself, we were told not to pray inside! To the Spanish authorities of course this is a cathedral now and there is much Church propagandists literature for tourists to read inside...
