Cordoba

Destination creator (Voyajo Team)

Córdoba ( also Cordova) is a city in Andalusia, southern Spain, and the capital of the province of Córdoba. An Iberian and Roman city in ancient times, in the Middle Ages it became the capital of an Islamic caliphate (...)(from Wikipedia).
Up to one thousand years ago, Córdoba was considered to be strongest, most significant city in Spain. It is now a pleasant city, famous mostly for its large mosque (the Mezquita), the Jewish Quarter and the Muslim Quarter in the Old City. You can visit both, walk in narrow alleys, and enjoy the city's unique atmosphere. It is highly recommended to have a peek into gardens, as the city's patios, the courtyards and balconies adorned with flowers are famous for their beauty.

Rick's suggestion to eat at Bodegas Campos was excellent - and do walk around in the back - great restaurant.

Umayyad capital, beautiful, Mequita – ‘Finally, let us illustrate Muslim culture by a few lines from the historian James Burke about Córdoba in the 9th Century – ‘At a time when London was a tiny mud-hut village that could not boast of a single street lamp, in Córdoba there were half a million inhabitants, living in 113,000 houses. There were 700 mosques and 300 public baths spread throughout the city. The streets were paved and lit. The houses had marble balconies for summer and hot-air ducts under the mosaic floors for winter. They were adorned with gardens with artificial fountains and orchards. Paper, a material still unknown to the west, was everywhere. There were bookshops and more than seventy libraries.’’
