Córdoba and the Magnificent Mezquita

Day 1

Today we visit Córdoba and the Magnificent Mezquita. After a short orientation meeting, we take to the streets to see the one-time cultural capital of the Western World, Córdoba. Here our local guide will lead us through the fascinating Mezquita, started in the 8th century. Its mesmerizing forest of pillars capped with horseshoe arches and its uniquely integrated 16th-century cathedral create an unforgettable contrast.
