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.

Overview of your Cordoba tour

The Umayyads extended the Islamic territory from Damascus, to the Western world. In 711 they conquered the Iberian Peninsula and it became an Umayyad province. When the Umayyad caliphate of Damascus was overthrown by the Abbasids in 750, the last surviving member of the dynasty fled to Spain, establishing himself as Amir and thus initiating the Umayyad emirate. This presence and control will last until the division of Al-Andalus in 1031. Do you want to know what al-Andalus was? Do you want to know the characters that led Córdoba to be one of the most important cities in the world in the 10th century? Do you want to know the history of the most influential dynasty of the Islamic West? With me you will know the history, its characters and you will understand the reason for the historical events that took place. If you do not want to simply know the dates, come with me! I am sure that after our visit you will be able to understand not only the history of Córdoba, but also the events all of Al-Andalus.
