Once the cultural mecca of Europe, Cordoba is now a sleepy but very pretty middle-sized city. On this tour of its most important monuments and hidden corners, you'll get a feel for an old town where the past is very much alive. Discover the Great Mosque and sneak through narrow alleys to find yourself in plant-bedecked patios.
After a scenic journey through the Andalusian countryside, passing rolling hills of vineyards and olive groves, you'll arrive in Cordoba. The entire old town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site – and you'll see why. Stroll through the Patio de los Naranjos and into the Great Mosque – where you'll find an awe-inspiring baroque cathedral amid a forest of hundreds of multi-coloured Moorish arches.
Check out the Roman Bridge and take snaps of the Great Mosque's rustic exterior. Next, you'll wander through the maze of history-steeped cobbled streets, stopping to admire pretty patios along the way. After the tour you'll have free time to grab lunch, shop or explore.
