About this experience

Depart from Seville and enjoy this excursion to one of the most amazing cities in Andalucia!

Cordoba offers so much to the visitor. The city of Cordoba, located on the banks of the Guadalquivir and at the foot of Sierra Morena, was the capital of the Bética province during the Roman Empire and the Caliphate of Cordoba during the Muslim era. The history of Cordoba has left us architectural wonders such as the Mosque-Cathedral, the Roman Bridge and the old Jewish Quarter, among others.

Walk through this Andalousian city and take a chance to enjoy the local cuisine.

After lunch, we will visit the beautiful Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba, declared World Heritage by UNESCO in 1984. This wonderful architectural monument was originally created for Muslim worship. That represents one of the main jewels of the historical and architectural heritage of Andalusia.
