Must-see attractions in & around Cordoba, Spain: La Mezquita mosque-cathedral, Cordoba Alcazar, Roman Bridge, Medina Azahara, Almodovar Castle and more.

We visited the wonderful city of Cordoba on a road trip from Madrid. We ended up driving one way while stopping in Toledo and seeing a few castles along the way. For the return we opted for the train which was actually much faster, cheaper, more comfortable and way more relaxing. Moreover, we were pleased to see that the Renfre high speed train is electric powered and runs using sustainable power.

Arriving in Cordoba the first thing you see in the historic center is the colossal Mesquita. The Mosque-Cathedral, monumental and prominent, on the waterfront with the Roman Bridge crossing the Guadalquivir River to the Calahorra Tower just filled us with anticipation to visit the city!
