LIVE A DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE
On one hand, Medina Azahara, founded in the 10th century, is a site that preserves the remnants of the ancient palatial city of Abderramán III. On the other hand, the Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba is a unique monument that reflects the coexistence and passage of Islamic and Christian cultures throughout history, becoming one of the great heritage symbols of Spain.
In this guided tour, you will explore Medina Azahara and the Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba with an official guide, both declared World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. In the morning, you will visit Medina Azahara with included transportation (depending on the chosen option), and in the afternoon, the Mosque-Cathedral, where you will discover its horseshoe arches and the Christian expansions that transformed the ancient mosque into a cathedral.

How to get to the Mosque of Córdoba?
To go directly to the Mosque after visiting Medina Azahara, here are your options:
Tour with transportation: The same bus will bring you back to the center of Córdoba. The stop at Avda. del Alcázar is the closest, leaving you a 5-minute walk to the Mosque.
Tour without Transportation:
Taxi: You can request one from the museum. The journey takes about 15-20 minutes and costs between 12 € and 18 €.
Private car: You will need to drive to the center and look for public parking (such as Puerta de Sevilla or Custodios), since the area around the Mosque is pedestrian.

Review: Both activities we participated in were truly interesting. The visit to Medina Azahara with Daniela was very enjoyable and entertaining, and the visit to the Mosque of Córdoba with Pepa, a wonderful guide, helped us understand part of the city's history in a simple, friendly, and professional manner. Our congratulations to both.
