Cordoba from Malaga
Give a full day to Córdoba and its extraordinary Mosque–Cathedral, a forest of red-and-white arches unlike anywhere else in Europe. The trip also winds through the flower-decked Jewish Quarter and the city's old streets.
About this tour
Córdoba was once the largest city in western Europe, and its layered past is written all over the historic centre this excursion explores. The star is the Mezquita, the great Mosque–Cathedral whose hundreds of horseshoe arches sit beneath a later Christian nave — a single building that tells the story of the whole region. You'll also make your way through the narrow lanes and patios of the Judería, the old Jewish Quarter, before free time to eat or keep exploring. The day is around twelve hours by coach from Málaga with a guide, costs from €35, and is open to children from age 3 with infants allowed. The tour page has the full schedule and meeting details.
