Cordoba

The Andalusian city of Cordoba is quite simply brimming with history and culture spanning some 10,000 years. Many of the ancient buildings and architectural wonders are contained within the old town that covers just a small area of the city. There are many well equipped apartments and hotels in Cordoba that are within easy walking distance of this area – giving you a perfect base for your explorations. The recently opened Hotel la Boutique Puerta Osario is one such hotel that sits within a stones throw of the Mezquita, the Jewish Quarter and the ancient Roman gates.

Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984, Cordoba is home to some of the most ancient settlements in the world and contains the second largest old town in Europe. Visitors wishing to enjoy some of the major tourist attractions such as the Great Mosque of Cordoba or the Calahorra Tower should take a look at the large selection of hotels and apartments in Cordoba, particularly ones in the old town – suitable for any budget or taste.

Cordoba itself sits within the autonomous region of Andalusia in southern Spain and, with temperatures reaching well above 30 degrees in the summer and rarely dropping below 10 degrees in the winter, you can expect a relaxing and balmy holiday whatever time of year you choose to visit. The majority of hotels in Cordoba include air conditioning which is particularly important on those sticky summer days. For those who like a dip in the pool, then the Hotel Cordoba Center is a great choice.

During May a number of fiestas take over the city including the The May Crosses Festival and The Patios Festival so expect the town to be bustling with life and a wealth of Spanish culture. Transportation to the city may be a little busy at this time of year but, with high speed rail connections from Madrid, Barcelona, Seville,Zaragoza and Malaga, it remains efficient and reliable – ensuring access to Cordoba remains on track. If you wish to visit the city during this time, then make sure you book your hotel or apartment early to avoid disappointment.
