Córdoba is a beautiful city in the heart of southern Spain, blending a rich cultural heritage with modern Andalusian charm. Córdoba has been a crossroads of civilisations for over two millennia. Today, it offers visitors a unique experience that combines history and vibrant contemporary life.
A City of Heritage and Culture
Córdoba was once one of the most important cities in the world during the Islamic Caliphate of al-Andalus. Its historic centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, home to the world-famous Mosque-Cathedral, Roman bridge, charming narrow streets of the old Jewish Quarter, and the magnificent city-palace of Medina Azahara, built at the foot of the Sierra Morena mountains, five miles from the city.
Climate and Lifestyle
Córdoba enjoys a Mediterranean climate, with warm, sunny weather for much of the year—perfect for exploring its picturesque patios, outdoor cafés, and vibrant public squares. The local cuisine and regional wines are an essential part of the experience.
