If you’re looking for a city break in central Spain, Córdoba is a great choice. This beautiful provincial capital features some of the country’s best sites – from its remarkable Roman amphitheatre to medieval churches and monasteries. Explore its cobblestone streets and atmospheric squares, and take in the views from the surrounding hills.
From here, you have incredible opportunities to explore nearby Granada, home of some of the country’s most iconic sights like the Alhambra palace and El Generalife Gardens.
But Córdoba is much more than just a convenient base for exploring these other destinations. It also has plenty of things to see and do on your own time as well.
