CORDOBA |
As impressive and
surprising
Cordoba
presents itself to today's visitor, as impressive
and surprising was its past. In 11th
century it was one of the most important capitals
in Europe. People of the most different cultures
and religions - Jews, Muslims and Christians -
were living together, and important philosophers,
scientists and artists emerged from here. The
Great Mosque of Cordoba was considered a wonder of
the medieval world by both Muslims and Christians.
On the other hand Cordoba is as well a very lively
town in the best Andalusian tradition, a town of
Flamenco and bullfighting, and certainly one of
the most attractive destinations in southern Spain. |

GRANADA |
Granada was the finest city on
the peninsula during the period of Muslim domination of Spain. Today it is
still home to the greatest Muslim legacy in Europe, and one of the most
inspiring attractions on the Continent: the 11th-century
Alhambra. The
Alhambra truly is the stuff of fairy tales. From outside, its red fortress
towers and walls appear plain, if imposing, rising from woods of cypress and elm,
with the
Sierra Nevada forming a magnificent
backdrop. Inside; the marvellously decorated emirs' palace, the Palacio
Nazaríes (Nasrid Palace) and the Generalife gardens, you're in for a treat. |

SEVILLA |
One
of the first people to fall in love with
Seville was the poet-king Al-Mutamid,
and the city's ability to dazzle has not abated
since. It takes a stony heart not to be captivated
by its exuberant atmosphere - stylish, confident,
ancient, proud, yet also convivial, intimate and
fun-loving. If you don't know what alegría
means, Seville is a fine place to learn. |
