Favorite thing: People whose name is related to Cordoba
His name was Rabi Mose Ben Maimon, but it was known by Maimonides. to call him a philosopher does not justice to him, writer, scientific, doctor .....

Favorite thing: As I have the itinerary of Cordoba in Must Se activities, here in General tips I want to show you some of the most important people of Cordoba, some of the most typical corners and patios from Cordoba that could be comparable to the great Mosque and alcazar in fame.

Favorite thing: Just in front of the cathedral is the tourist office, you can stop for a map of Cordoba and timetable of the monuments.
The inside of the Tourist office deserves a visit with the chapel and the model of the Mosque. Also information about itineraries along Andalucia

Favorite thing: A few cities in Spain have the merit to be called like this.
This make me very proud of my country, but cities as Toledo, Salamanca, Avila, CAceres, etc... really deserve!
I guess the mosque was not the only reason for this nomination, also the Jewish neighbour, the andalusian patios, the bullfighting..

Favorite thing: Because all the main attractions and monuments are close together, Cordoba is best explored on foot. For the old Jewish Quarter, this is really the only way to get around since many of the winding streets are quite narrow.
Fondest memory: Its compact size.

Favorite thing: Walk slowly in Cordoba. This is a small town that would not be over time-consuming to visit, but it could take much time to discover the character of Cordoba which is everywhere - the detail and colour of the old Mezquita, the little secret gardens in the Jewish quarter, and the taste of olive oil!

Favorite thing: admire the Moorish architecture/ works at the Mezquita. Here's a pic of the Mihrab. In case you're wondering why there are so many Moorish monuments and buildings here... well, the Moors conquered Spain in the year 711 A.D. and made Cordoba their capital!

Favorite thing: see the Capilla de Villaviciosa - the first Christian Chapel built inside the Mezquita (in 1371 if I'm not mistaken) has stunning multi-lobed arches too.
Fondest memory: When the Christians reconquered Cordoba in 1236, the mosque was consecrated to be a Christian cathedral. Many modifications were made and new wings added to the original plan especially during the reign of King Charles V. Part of the Mezquita was destroyed to accommodate the Capilla Real (the Royal Chapel)...
Today, when you visit the Cathedral, you'd notice its original Gothic style combined with Baroque and Renaissance element.

Favorite thing: not miss the lovely patios along the quaint alleys of this lovely city.
Fondest memory: In the heart of Cordoba is the Juderia - the Old Jewish Quarter near the Mezquita.
As I walked around the narrow cobbled alleys where cars cannot enter; counted the many wrought iron gates here and tiny workshops where I found silversmiths hard at work creating their next masterpiece of fine jewelry.... (perhaps?)... it sure gave me an impression that little has changed since Cordoba was one of the greatest cities in Europe in the 11th century!
