We had a 2 night stay in Cordoba on our way to Barcelona. Cordoba is a lovely city and I think we should have stayed here longer. It would be a really good base city to see much more of the Andalusia Provence of Spain, as it’s more central than Seville or Granada and most trains in the area go through Cordoba. Seville, Granada, Malaga etc could all be easy day trips from here.
As well as centrally located, it has some spectacular sites. The “Roman” bridge (which has been rebuilt multiple times) and is now really a Moorish bridge is awesome. The Cathedral / Mosque is worth seeing for the spectacular red and white arches. There are a number of museums which we sadly missed out on as most were closed on the Monday we were here.
Had an interesting coffee, a “Bombón” which is espresso you then pour condensed milk into. Far too sweet for my taste.
We had a great apartment overlooking the ruins of the old Roman temple. The other great thing about Cordoba is accomodation here is cheaper than Seville.
It's all about the coffee
