Cordoba
Cordoba is, historically, one of the richest provinces
of Andalusia.
In the city of Cordoba you are immediately aware
of its’ rich historical past as you wander through the Jewish
Quarter or the famous Moorish Mezquita mosque,
the largest on the continent, or you can visit the majestic Roman
bridge which spans the river Guadalquivir.
On a visit to the Alcazar and its gardens, with huge
ponds, you can imagine yourself to be in the seventeenth century.
Cordoba was the capital of Moorish Spain.
At 8 km from Cordoba the ruins of the palace city
of “Medina Azahara” give a good impression
of the richness of this culture.
The most beautiful expressions of Andalusian Baroque can be encountered in the towns of “Cabra”
and “Priego de Córdoba”.
Cordoba has a wonderful climate for 9 months of the
year. Summer temperatures can be very high. If you like wine
and sherry, it is nice to follow the wine route
“Montilla Moriles”.
Also remember to taste “Salmorejo”. A
cold soup, less well known than it’s more famous sister “Gazpacho”.
