Weekend Getaway In Spain: Córdoba
Situated in the center of Andalucía, Córdoba was once the capital of Islamic Spain. This ancient city is a perfect destination to explore by bicycle or on foot. Mesmerizing Moorish heritage can be found along the Gualdalquivir, Andalucía’s major river. Whether you are looking for gastronomy or historical experiences, you do not want to miss these eight places.
1. Roman Bridge
Bridge
Visiting Córdoba would not be complete without passing through the Roman Bridge, or Puente Romano. It provides a gorgeous view of the Mezquita-Catedral at the end, which you can gaze at while enjoying the breeze coming from the Guadalquivir. The bridge was first built in the 1st century, but it has been rebuilt various times since then. The best time to visit the bridge is definitely at dusk, when the last sun rays linger on the stone surfaces, turning them golden-red.
