Have you visited Cordoba, the Cradle of Andalusian Civilization?
The most important feature of this city, which does not have any contact with the sea, is that the structure known as the Cordoba Mosque, which is from the time of the Andalusian Umayyads, and which is now converted into a church and used as a cathedral, is open to visitors.
Andalusian Traces:
Cordoba is a very important city in Spain where the traces of Andalusia can be seen most intensely. When you visit this place, you can easily understand why Europeans are so afraid of Muslims. In order to visit this region with peace of mind, visiting these places with a rental car will be a very effective and effective option.
In fact, if you can arrange a 10-day period for Spain, you can have a very nice holiday in a satisfying way in terms of both cultural and Mediterranean pleasures. Cordoba, which will take place in this holiday, will definitely deserve a very meaningful part.
Mediterranean Landscapes:
The Mediterranean landscapes you will see while coming to this city will always hold an important place in your mind. In addition, if you prefer to take breaks along the way in small villages; You can try olive oils, which you have not been able to taste lately in our country, accompanied by various olives and other small appetizers (tapas) accompanied by good drinks (white wine, soda, expressso, etc.) in the cafe-restaurants located in the village squares. It is highly recommended to try these organic products, as these delicacies, which are in the price range of 2-3 euros for drinks and 3-4 euros for tapas, are offered at much higher prices in big cities.
Commemorative Cordoba Mosque from Andalusia:
The most important feature of this city, which does not have any contact with the sea, is that the structure known as the Cordoba Mosque, which is from the time of the Andalusian Umayyads, and which is now converted into a church and used as a cathedral, is open to visitors. This building, which has been taken under protection by UNESCO as "Heritage of Humanity", is extremely beautiful and attracts attention with its familiar architecture for us.
Accommodation in Cordoba:
From the entrance of the city, the city entrance with its extremely interesting and remarkable bridge always welcomes you with a dense visitor community. If you choose the summer period to come here, you can take advantage of the daylight to see the works in the city for a long time and find the opportunity to take photos more comfortably. Normally, you can continue transportation to Seville and other cities in one full day without accommodation for this city.
If you reach this city around 10:00-11:00 in the morning with your planning, you can easily have a meal after the tour and continue on your way. For this reason, you can try to travel without accommodation in this city where there are not many options for accommodation. But if you are visiting the country of Spain and return without seeing it, please do not forget that there is a big deficiency. Because this city, where the most beautiful architectural examples belonging to the Andalusian Umayyads, will always hold a very special place in your minds. You can be sure of that.
Houses with whitewashed walls and familiar cobbled streets will look very familiar to you. While visiting this place, I compared myself to the moments I experienced while visiting the houses in the Trakai region of Vilnius, Lithuania. While I was visiting it, it was as if I was walking in a Turkish neighborhood, and I felt extremely comfortable while visiting this place. Although there are traces of Andalusia, these works that you will see in a Christian country will impress you immensely.
Cordoba Cathedral:
When you enter the Cordoba Mosque or the Cordoba Cathedral with its current name; You can be sure that you will not feel different from Selimiye Mosque in Edirne or Masjid Aksa in Jerusalem. The environment you will enter in those famous heat of summer will welcome you at extremely suitable temperatures and will take you to the past in great awe. Then, when you look around carefully, you will witness how consciously it was tried to be changed this time, but it could not be taken away from the original.
Don't Come Without Eating Shrimp:
In this city, where Spanish cuisine is dominant in terms of food and drink, I strongly recommend that we do not return without tasting very delicious cheeses. In addition, although there is no seaside, I can recommend you to try the extremely delicious shrimps in any restaurant with peace of mind.
I wish you a pleasant trip….
