Few things bring a couple together more than a trip together. Travelling allows us to explore new cities, discover their monuments, eat in their restaurants…
But for everything to be perfect, we must choose the right city and accommodation, so that we can keep an unforgettable memory of our trip.
Few cities like Córdoba can offer as much to a couple as the Nasrid capital does. Not in vain, it has four World Heritage Sites, more than any other city in the world.
Morning Walk through the Jewish Quarter: Charming Streets
The city wakes up. The first rays of sun appear on the horizon. It is the best time to start the day when the streets have not yet been populated and a walk through the city becomes a true delight.
Walking through the Jewish quarter of Córdoba, located in the historic center, in the early hours of the morning, can be the best way to start our visit to Córdoba and let ourselves be carried away by the charm of its small streets that evoke times gone by. In the Jewish quarter, we also could visit its Synagogue, one of the oldest in Spain, or the House of Sefarad, to better immerse ourselves in the legendary Sephardic culture.
Discover the Mosque-Cathedral in Couple
If there is something for which Córdoba is known throughout the world, it is for its incomparable Mosque-Cathedral. This monument is the most important in all the Islamic West and is the only Muslim construction in the world with Catholic worship. Its history summarizes the complete evolution of the Umayyad style in Spain, as well as the Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque styles of Christian construction. The place that the Mosque occupies today seems to have been, since ancient times, dedicated to the worship of different divinities. Under Visigoth domination, the Basilica of San Vicente was built on this same site, on which the primitive mosque was built. This basilica was shared by Christians and Muslims for a time. When the Muslim population grew, the basilica was completely acquired by Abderraman I and destroyed for the final construction of the Mosque. Today, some construction elements of the Visigoth building are integrated into the first section of Abderraman I.
Lunch in a Tavern with an Andalusian Patio.
And after a morning visiting the incomparable architectural complex of the Mosque, we must take some time to rest and replenish our energy and enjoy the wonderful Andalusian cuisine.
And to enjoy a delicious meal, there is nothing better than a tavern with a traditional Andalusian patio. Not only will we enjoy the best Cordoban dishes, but we will also be able to experience all the atmosphere and tradition of these establishments. Among these taverns, we would like to highlight the following:
– Patio de la Judería. This restaurant is an old 18th century manor house. Its different rooms have been converted into private dining rooms and the greatest flamenco artists have performed in its halls.
– Ágora Mezquita. Located close to the Mosque, it mixes tradition with innovation. This is a great option for a stop on the way through the historic center. The possibilities are many: from having a beer or a glass of cold wine with a tapa or more elaborate dishes.
Afternoon on the Roman Bridge
And the end of the day in Nasrid capital is approaching. We have lived romantic moments walking through its streets with our partner.
And as a culmination of a perfect day, we still have one romantic moment left, perhaps the most special, the sunset. Can you imagine anything more romantic than watching the sunset over the Guadalquivir River? If so, you can experience a magical sunset from the Roman Bridge, watching the last rays of the sun disappear over the horizon and the moon begin its journey.
Relax in an Arab Hamman
It has been a day full of experiences, but exhausting. We have walked, visiting the most beautiful corners of Córdoba and we need to rest.
And to relax, there is nothing better than immersing ourselves in the spell of the Arab baths. In this unique environment, we will feel magically transported back in time, and we will be able to disconnect our minds while our muscles rest in the water or under a relaxing massage.
