You can get there by train from Madrid in three hours. Astonishing. Cordoba is way different from Madrid: hotels in barcelona spain it s smaller, it s hotter and it s filled with Moorish architecture. Don t expect to see too many Moors these days—the Catholics threw them out in 1492. It s a great wandering town because it is tiny compared to the other cities mentioned on this site. Head straight for the historical part of town, that s what you re really there to see. Get plenty of sleep the night before, take the train down in the morning and take in the whole place in one day. You should be able to make it back to Madrid for dinner. (Remember, dinner in Madrid begins at 10pm. You ve got plenty of time.)
The Mosque. The big one. Hell, the only one that really matters in Spain. It s one of the great wonders of architecture. Red and white striped arches as far as the eye can see. This Muslim center, built on the site of a pagan temple was converted to a church, but the Catholics had the good sense to leave the arches and geometric details were left intact. Three layers of spirituality in one site. A tremendous experience not to be missed.
The TRAIN STATION in time to get the train back to Madrid. All you ll see if you miss it are some tourists from Omaha (we warned you). You don t want to get stuck in Cordoba over night. Nothing bad will happen, but more to the point, nothing will happen. There just isn t a whole lot to do as a tourist in that city. Of course, you might find something we didn t. We were shocked to find a jazz festival taking place the same day as our trip.
If you do get stuck, there are some ruines of MOORISH PALACES just outside town. We don t know how to get there but you have to go by taxi anyways and all the taxi drivers know. It s a very nice place to walk though, but go only if you ve seen the mosque, had lunch, wandered around town, stopped for coffee, then desert and you ve still got plenty of time (at least a few hours) before hotels in barcelona spain the train is scheduled to leave.
