Steve and Sheila's Nerja Day Trips - Tours for people who don't like Tours
Cordoba is a captivating city with many attractive monuments.
Your visit will include a panoramic view of the city. The Mosque, now a Catholic Cathedral was converted when the Christians conquered Cordoba in 1236.With nearly one thousand pillars, the original Gothic style is combined with Baroque and Renaissance elements. Remarkable are the Cardinal's Chapel and its treasures, including a monstrance of Enrique de Arfe, an ivory crucifix of Alonso Cano and important sculptures and paintings.
If you visit the old Jewish Quarter, going back to the time of the Romans and Goths, you will notice many important monuments reminding you of the most important sons of Cordoba: Roman philosopher Séneca, Arabian philosopher Averroes and Jewish philosopher Maimonides. Here you can also find one of the few synagogues existing today in Spain, built in 1315.
We offer a full door to door service at times you choose. The cost is 230€ per trip(not per person), with a maximum of 4 people.
(If there are only two of you and you would like to share the costs, please let us know and we will try to find another couple)

As with the other trips Steve and Sheila will collect from your holiday accommodation at times you choose and drive you to Cordoba. The journey takes 2 - 2.5 hours so you may wish for a break on route. As usual the day is yours to organise as you wish.. We usually drive you to the centre of Cordoba having given you a map and suggested the best places to visit - and which ones shut for siesta. The mosque is open all day so guests generally go there after the Alcazaba. We agree a time to collect guests and at the agreed time we meet up again for the drive back.
