Cordoba
- Address:Cordoba
- Admission:Free
A heady mix of Roman, Moorish, Jewish and Christian ingredients make Cordoba one of Andalusia’s most fascinating cities. The city was once at the center of the Iberian Islamic world, and many architectural relics remain.
Tailor-made for wandering, the World Heritage-listed medieval old city is a winding network of lanes, squares and whitewashed courtyards for a journey back in time. Use the minaret of the sublime Mezquita mosque-cathedral as your guide as you make your way to the Guadalquivir River.
The mosque is a magical building, celebrated for its red and white striped arches and glittering golden mosaics, topped by the 16th-century cathedral.
Cordoba’s 14th-century synagogue sits in the heart of the old city’s maze of backstreets, and is one of only a few medieval synagogues remaining in Spain. There’s also Roman history to seek out, including a Roman-era bridge, temple and theater.
Having visited Cordoba’s many churches and museums, discover the city’s modern-day attraction – its many great restaurants and wine bars.

I cannot say enough about our guide, Carlos. He has a great deal of knowledge in the history and regions of Spain. He was always friendly and ready to answer any questions. We were sad to depart such a spectacular guide! Would also like to give kudos to Ramon, our driver. We had some serious weather and never did we feel endangered. He is a very professional driver and always greeted us with his big smile.
