Cordoba, once an important capital, is now home to many historical monuments, museums and age old traditions. Although tradition is strong in the area it is by no means quiet, this is a lively town where you will see flameno dancing and the often controversial bullfight!

Cordoba was once a mighty Islamic empire, in the center of Cordoba stands a once Great Mosque, wonderful colourful columns run throughtout, arch stones are made of alternating red bricks and white limestone, and are a joy to see. In 1523 there was an outcry from town folk as it was ordered that the new cathedral was to be built in the center of the great mosque. And so it was, the cathedral now stands, slicing through the very walls of this wonderful building. To the north you will find beauty in the 'La Sierra Norte' mountain range. Throughout these mountains are small quaint villages, this idillic lifestyle is relaxing and makes for the perfect day out.

Montoro is located just east of the province of Cordoba, on the banks of the Guadalquivir River. The area is known for its historic tourist interest, city streets are narrow, white walled houses typical of Spain. Visit the roman church, gothic castle, and there most famous landmark...a bridge that took over 50 years to build!

The old Jewish Quarter is an all time favourite in Cordoba...a night out here is a night of culture, tradition, quaint taverns and tapas bars!
