More on Córdoba
Córdoba holds a unique position in history, as it had served as the capital of a Roman province of Hispania Ulterior, the capital of Hispania Baetica during the Roman Empire, the capital of an Arab state, and a Caliphate. Its historic quarter is rich with charming alleyways and small streets, which is no wonder that the city has been inscribed as of of Spain's UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Córdoba is located on the sharp bend of the Río Guadalquivir. Right at the heart of the city is the Cathedral-Mosque of Córdoba, the most famous icon of the city. Surrounding it are many sights worth exploring. You will certainly need at least two days and probably more, to truly appreciate Córdoba.

Going to Córdoba
The most luxurious way to reach Córdoba is to take the high-speed AVE trains from Madrid. It gets you to Córdoba within 1 hour 45 minutes. The same train also links Córdoba with Seville (45 minutes), M&acaute;laga (50 minutes) and Barcelona (5 hours).
A cheaper option is to take the bus. There are plenty from major cities of Spain. To get to Córdoba by flight, you have to fly to either Seville or M´laga and then take a bus or train from there - not the most convenient option unless you are coming from overseas.
