Discover Cordoba and the Mosque-Cathedral
Enjoy a full-day excursion and visit to Cordoba and the Mosque-Cathedral from Malaga, immersing yourself in the city’s rich history. As you explore, you will wander through the narrow streets, admire traditional Andalusian courtyards, and stroll through the historic Jewish Quarter. Moreover, you will be captivated by the unique blend of cultures in one of the city’s most iconic landmarks—the Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba.
We will pick you up by comfortable coach at your chosen time and location. From there, your journey to Córdoba from Málaga begins with a scenic drive along the Costa del Sol. During the trip, our expert guide will share fascinating facts and stories about Córdoba, the city of the Caliphate.
Upon arrival, the first stop will be the Roman Bridge of Córdoba, famously featured in the TV series Game of Thrones. After taking in the views, our official guide will lead a one-hour walking tour through one of the city’s most historic areas—the Jewish Quarter of Córdoba. Notably, this district holds four UNESCO World Heritage Site inscriptions, making it a must-visit.
As the tour continues, you will explore some of Córdoba’s most picturesque corners, including the Calleja de las Flores, one of the city’s most photographed spots. Furthermore, we will visit Handkerchief Lane, the narrowest street in Córdoba. Before reaching Maimonides Square, where you will see a monument dedicated to the famous Jewish philosopher and physician, we will also stop at the historic Synagogue of Córdoba—the only preserved synagogue in Andalusia after the Jewish expulsion of 1492.
Guided Tour of the Mosque-Cathedral
After exploring the Jewish Quarter, we will arrive at the Patio de los Naranjos, the entrance to the Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba. At this point, your one-hour guided tour inside this UNESCO-listed monument will begin. Here, you will discover the fascinating history of this architectural masterpiece, which perfectly blends Islamic and Christian influences. As a result, it stands as one of Spain’s most remarkable cultural landmarks.
Free Time in Córdoba
Once the guided tour concludes, you will have free time to explore Córdoba at your own pace. For instance, you may choose to:
Wander through the historic centre and admire the Alcazar of the Christian Monarchs.
Visit the Plaza de la Corredera, a lively square filled with local charm.
Cross the Roman Bridge for breathtaking views of Córdoba and the Guadalquivir River.
