        Cordoba city: a lot to enjoy

        Se ci lasciamo guidare dall'Unesco (e le loro raccomandazioni non deludono mai), la rotta è chiara: ce ne andiamo nella città di Cordoba, la più grande area urbana del mondo dichiarata Patrimonio dell'Umanità.

         

        Una volta arrivati, sarà un piacere passeggiare, grazie a monumenti come la bellissima moschea storica, la Mezquita, unica nel suo genere in quanto è anche una cattedrale. Passeggiare nel quartiere ebraico è un'altra esperienza affascinante, soprattutto se ci si ferma alla sinagoga. Tuttavia, la sensazione più forte della vostra visita a Cordoba la sentirete probabilmente visitando i suoi famosi cortili, tappezzati di vasi colorati e piante dai toni saturi da cui si sprigionano dolci fragranze.

         

        Il momento migliore per goderne è la prima quindicina di maggio, quando si celebra la festa principale della città, e l'hotel migliore per farlo è il Sercotel Córdoba Delicias, con il suo design moderno, le sue camere confortevoli e la sua buona posizione.

         

        Da lì, ci si può dirigere verso il "cortile tra i cortili": stiamo parlando del Palacio de Viana, che ospita una dozzina di splendidi giardini. Inoltre, da lì è possibile anche fare diverse escursioni per scoprire i dintorni di questa provincia unica.

        White villages and dreamlike nature in Cordoba. Where? In the Subbética

        The Subbética region will be your first stop. There, the rugged terrain that accompanies the River Genil in its course serves as a link between 14 municipalities cris-crossed by Roman cisterns, citadels, Baroque churches, windmills and olive oil mills.  

        Get ready to enjoy villages with orange blossom-scented white streets and tall castles surrounded by olive groves. An example? Priego de Córdoba, with its photogenic quarter of La Villa. Another one? Luque, with its majestic architecture and its hugely instagrammable little corners. Other highlights include Carcabuey, with its unforgettable medieval fortress, and Lucena, capital of the region with its rich past.

        Córdoba

        Cordoba is sunny days and starry nights in the Sierra de Hor

        As you will see, there is a lot to visit outdoors, so it is essential to book a stay in the most comfortable hotels to recharge your batteries after a day full of excitement. And considering how hot it has been since spring -in summer it is not unusual to exceed 36 degrees-, the ideal thing to do is to look for our hotels in Cordoba with a swimming pool to cool off during your trip and recharge your batteries to continue your walk refreshed.

        Yes, because there is still more to see in this city of portentous beauty. We spoke earlier about the courtyards of Cordoba, considered Intangible Heritage of Humanity. The most prized are in the San Basilio neighbourhood, very close to the Alcázar de los Reyes Cristianos. There, in its Royal Stables, authentic Pure Breed Spanish horses are still being trained, a symbol as Andalusian as the colourful flowerpots and the murmur of water that have made these urban edens of freshness and colour famous.

        And if you want to visit the 'museum of the courtyards', head for the Palacio de Viana: its 12 gardens form a beautiful route in which the different landscape styles that predominate in the historic quarter are represented.

        There are also caves that will attract your attention, such as Los Murciélagos, one of the most important Neolithic sites in Andalusia. However, if you are interested in caves, you will love the Subbética Cordobesa Geopark, a unique environment of stone and waterfalls inhabited by griffon vultures, wild cats and golden eagles. 

        To the north of the park there are several trails that will immerse you in this unique landscape. The Vía Verde del Aceite greenway, an old railway line that runs from Jaén to Puente Genil through viaducts, viewpoints and tunnels, is one of the great favourites. To the south, the Iznájar reservoir where you can do water sports or relax on the beautiful inland beach of Valdearenas.  

        Further inland, the Sierra de Hornachuelos Natural Park will welcome you with its opulent biodiversity. The best way to discover it is to walk along the Guadalora path, a fascinating riverside forest with poplars, alders, willows and ash trees. 

        Another option is to visit at night, when the sky becomes a sea of shining stars. The hermitage of San Calixto, in Hornachuelos, is a perfect place to carry out this star sighting thanks to its minimal light pollution. Nearby is Almodóvar del Río, another of those picture postcard castle towns. 

        On your return to the city of Cordoba, don't miss Medina Azahara, the legendary palace-city that unveils its magnificence at the foot of the Sierra Morena.  

        You will return with a satisfied soul, and also with a stomach full of salmorejo, flamenquines, oxtail... After all, Cordoba is one of Spain's most delicious provinces for its cuisine, thanks to the unfailingly fresh produce that sprouts from its fertile fields.
