[2024 Cordoba Stay] Travel Guide for Arcos de la Mezquita (Updated Dec)

Classic Spain

Location: Cordoba, Southern Spain Getting there: A fast train from Madrid for a few hours or a fast train from Malaga for one hour. One building alone is reason enough to visit Cordoba: the mesmerising multiarched Mezquita. One of the world's greatest Islamic buildings, the Mezquita is a symbol of the worldly, sophisticated culture that flourished here more than a millennium ago when Córdoba was capital of Islamic Spain and western Europe's biggest, most cultured city. Cordoba has stunning classical architecture and is definitely worth a day trip from one of the bigger Spanish cities in central or southern Spain. #cordoba
