Experience the stunning ancient city of Córdoba when you take our wonderful trip from Fuengirola. The magical blend of Jewish, Islamic, and Cristian influences has earned the historical center a UNESCO World Heritage Status.
Cordoba Day Trip
We will collect you from the Hotel El Puerto in Fuengirola before heading to Córdoba, about two hours north of the coast of Andalucia.
Immediately upon arriving in this impressive city, you will be greeted with a majestic panoramic view across the Jewish Quarter, the Synagogue, the iconic Mezquita, and the picturesque Roman Bridge. You may recognize this location from a very popular television series. Do you know what it is?
We begin by exploring the Jewish district, one of the oldest parts of the historic city center. As we trace the footsteps of the Jews that inhabited the city between the 10th and 15th centuries, you will learn all about their history in Cordoba and hear some fascinating facts. Our tour will take us into the Synagogue which was built in 1315 and is the only one in the city to have escaped destruction during the inquisition.
The tour continues with a visit to the famous Mezquita of Cordoba, one of the principal tourist attractions in the city and in all of Spain. This mosque is considered to be one of the most beautiful Islamic monuments in the western world. We will explore the shrine, admiring the fascinating mosaic architecture and stained glass windows. Inside, you will also discover its secrets and learn how to distinguish between the different eras in which it was constructed.
You will have free time to continue exploring the city by yourself, or, if you prefer, you can try the delicious local gastronomy in one of the traditional restaurants in Cordoba.
Finally, we'll return to Fuengirola and end this activity after a total of 10 hours.
