CÓRDOBA

Córdoba, capital of Muslim Spain, is the head of a territory located in the center of Andalusian geography. The Guadalquivir, which stands on a medium course, crosses its province from east to west and fertilizes a wide fertile plain where the cereal, the vine and the olive tree bear fruit. This cosmopolitan city dominated Andalusia for three centuries. And today, it is a magic place.

Its historic center was declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco in 1994. Ten years earlier, in 1984, it had been the Mezquita-catedral de Córdoba. It was a candidate for the European cultural capital for 2016, being a finalist to represent Spain. In addition, the Fiesta de los Patios Cordobeses was designated an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by Unesco in December 2012.
