Embrace every journey.
Cordoba is a year-round destination, even if most people will tell you to visit in May. We spent Christmas time in Cordoba in hopes that we could see its famous sites, without the sweltering heat. December was perfect site-seeing weather and the city comes alive at this time of year, in celebration.
Find out how to get from Cordoba station to old town. This post covers directions from both the train and bus stations, which are located across the street from each other.
We spent two days and nights in Cordoba, a cute town in southern Spain's Andalusia region. While the great Mezquita, or mosque-cathedral is what drew us here, we loved Cordoba old town.
The Mezquita, a mosque-cathedral located in Cordoba, Spain, is a destination in itself. This hybrid combines Muslim and Christian architecture to create a true masterpiece. Visitors can see echoes of a past, where Spain was occupied by various cultures over centuries, each leaving its imprint on the present.
One of the highlights of our Andalusian trip was a visit to the Cordoba Royal Stables and equestrian horse show. We purchased premium tickets which meant we could meet the amazing show horses and trainers before the show. Sounds good, right? Until one bites you!
This year, our family took a European vacation for Christmas, instead of having our traditional Christmas. Our kids have gotten older and the magic of Christmas just hasn't been what it was. So, we thought we would give this a go. And now we are back and I am sharing my thoughts!
