3 Things to do in Córdoba

I know it's been a while but I've just not been feeling like writing blog posts to be honest. Life gets busy and I just couldn't get my head around it. I took a weekend off to get back on track and I feel like it was much needed. I'm back with a travel blog post for you guys though! YAY! I took a trip down to Spain to visit my friend in Marbella and we took a day trip to Córdoba, which is located in the southern Spanish region of Andalusia. It's amazing how one single building makes the whole world want to visit this city! Speaking of, let me get started on the 3 things to do in Córdoba:

1. Mezquita in Córdoba 

Visit the mesmerising multiarched Mezquita, which is one of the world's greatest islamic buildings. I wasn't that impressed with the outside of the mosque but as soon as I stepped in, I was impressed with the archtiecture and beautiful detailing all around the walls. It's defnitely worth a trip for every traveler! Córdoba is about 2 1/2 hrs drive from Marbella and quite easy to reach. 

2. El Rincón de Carmen

While walking through the streets of Cordóba, the narrow streets of the Judería (Jewish quater) and Muslim quater, we found this beautifully decorated open space restaurant which serves typical local dishes such as the famous Salmorejo de Cordóba, a creamy cold tomato soup topped with boiled eggs and iberian ham or salty prosciutto (picture below), Rabo de toro and Flamenquín. The food and service was amazing and let me not start on the super cute decoration. I would recommend to anyone to check this little gem out when you visit the city for a typical andalusian experience. 

3. Puente Romano de Cordóba

One of the landmarks in Cordóba is the long bridge right in front of the Mezquita located in the histroric centre. You have a stunning view on the city from the bridge and for all the game of thrones fans, yes, this is the bridge where they filmed part of it. I'm not a fan but everyone seems to be besides me, so I might as well mention it. 

I hope you enjoyed my little tour guide!

Love, Drea
