«Córdoba, distant and lonely» as Lorca wrote, is today in fact a can't miss place, the capital of Al-Ándalus and one of my favorite short escape options! Let yourself to fully immerse into the Mosque-Cathedral's mysticism with an architecture lover, and explore through key districts the styles that shaped the urban landscape. Wander around and experience "hand in hand" the medieval combination of the labyrinthine streets and the little squares. The popular Courtyards Festival, every May, awarding the best yard (patio), reminds the importance for the local climate and society of these widely used open spaces. Famous also for its multicultural cuisine, Cordova promises to win your heart as once won mine with its salmorejo, oxtail, flamenquín, eggplant chips with honey, and fried marinated fish! The ideal supplement to your stay in Seville to understand better some of the most prominent turning points in history, by emerging in four different cultures and three monotheistic religions in a single city!
Our day trip to Cordoba was one of the highlights of our stay in Sevilla. The visit to the cathedral and mosque was awe-inspiring. Vangelis is an outstanding guide and a fun companion to spend a day with. He is knowledgable and thoughtful and seemed always able to anticipate what would add to our comfort and the quality of the experience. I would highly recommend the day trip to Cordoba and I would highly recommend Vangelis as a guide. Matt H
Our tour with Vangelis was wonderful! Even though the weather was rainy, Vangelis made our trip fantastic with his knowledge of Cordoba and all of Spain. He was a great guide- so friendly and enthusiastic. Highly recommend!
Our Day Trip to Cordova was the highlight of our trip. Our guide, Vangelis was excellent!!! Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Seville.
Vangelis takes you on a short 45 minute train ride to Cordoba which is a great opening to get acquainted. It was a beautiful day and we walked thorough the winding streets of Cordoba, stopping in an old Synagogue and seeing some private homes and shops. We then went into the Mezquita which is beautiful amazing piece of architecture (Vangelis was an architect in his past life so his insight into the structure was a treat!) We then had amazing lunch then back to the train. Seamless incredible trip!
Suggested starting point: Sevilla Santa Justa Train Station (to take the modern high-speed train and travel in an environmentally sustainable way) After reaching Córdoba - in an only 50 minutes trip - we will wander around the medieval Old Town, with the different quarters of the respective religious communities that once lived together, and visit the following sites: * Roman Bridge (Puente Romano) & Guadalquivir river, photo stop * Mosque-Cathedral (Mezquita-Catedral), visit inside * 14th century Synagogue (Sinagoga), visit inside too (Monday closed) Before the train takes us back to Seville through the andalusian rural landscape, we will taste local delights in one of my favourite restaurants. (Passport number required for tickets)
