My name is Azahara Serrano and I am an official tour guide in Córdoba. I've studied History for 5 years, then I've studied a Master in Antiquity and now I'm studying Art History. I love showing the rich heritage of Córdoba and my main goal is to make visitors feel at home and make them enjoy a lot of Córdoba. I've been working as a tour guide in Italy for 2 years, and then I came back to Cordoba to share my city with travellers who want to discover this amazing and magic place. I offer private tours to the most important monuments of Córdoba, but I can also organize customized tours. If you are interested in a particular part of the story, in a particular religion, or have special needs you can simply write me and I will offer you a tour adapted to your needs or interests One of my strengths is to adapt to the interests of each one, since each visitor may be interested in a specific part of the story. So, my tour is adapted to each person.

Overview of your Cordoba tour

In this tour you will discover the city built by the caliph Abd al-Rahman III starting between 936 and 940. After he had proclaimed himself caliph in 929, he decided to show his subjects and the world his power by building a palace-city 8 km from Córdoba. This important place was declared World Heritage Site by Unesco on 1st July 2018, so it is the last monument that received this title in the city. Do you want to know the values that led it to be declared a World Heritage Site in 2018? Do you want to know why this city was really founded? Beyond the legends, I will explain the true explanation of its foundation. Due to the state of the site, sometimes, it is difficult to get used to the idea of the city that once was, but with me you will be able to understand how it was formed in the 10th century. If you want to know each one of the secrets of this amazing place, do not hesitate to contact me.
