Córdoba

An ancient Andalusian province on the Guadalquivir, famed worldwide for its Mosque-Cathedral and patio culture.

Córdoba Province lies in northern Andalusia, with the Guadalquivir River flowing through from east to west, the Sierra Morena to the north, and hills and olive-growing country to the south. The capital, Córdoba, was once the capital of the Umayyad Caliphate of al-Andalus. Its key sights include the Mosque-Cathedral, the Jewish Quarter, the Roman Bridge and the ruins of the Medina Azahara, and the Patio Festival in May is especially distinctive. Spring and autumn are pleasant, and summers are scorching. Córdoba is on the high-speed rail line from Madrid to Seville, so it is easy to reach and is often combined with Seville and Granada in an itinerary.
