The programme

The streets and squares of Cordoba represent a continuous dialog between Arab and Spanish civilization. Your local guide will help you to unpick its rich heritage, as you explore the city one step at a time.
As you push open the wooden door of the Casa Arabe, you'll find yourself between past and present. Against the backdrop of five 14th-century palaces connected by galleries and stairways, you'll discover a cultural institution that is more alive than ever, where the Arab world takes center stage with debates, exhibitions and concerts.
And among the 856 columns of the Mezquita, you'll get to know two other sides of Cordoba. The most important Islamic building in the West * and UNESCO World Heritage Site * is now a mosque-cathedral!
Free time for lunch.
Afterward, you can cross to the other side of the Guadalquivir river to the tower of Calahorra, built in 1369 to block the path of advancing enemies. Today, as then, it's an essential stop in Cordoba * the perfect spot for saying goodbye to the city.
