🇪🇸 Córdoba Day Trip: Mosque, Bridge & Hidden Courtyards

🚂 Itinerary Arrived from Madrid the night before → Explored Córdoba all day → Evening train to Granada 📍 Stops: 1️⃣ Mezquita-Catedral de Córdoba Stunning fusion of mosque & cathedral (classic Andalusian style!). Pro tip: Free entry 8:30-9:30 AM—arrive early to queue! ⏳ Highlights: Orange-tree courtyard + Christian altars bookending Islamic arches. 2️⃣ Roman Bridge Right by the mosque ☀️. Perfect for a breezy morning stroll with great views. 3️⃣ Old Town Quiet lanes (shops open late—go before crowds!). Ideal for getting lost in alleys. 4️⃣ Palacio de Viana Surprise free entry Wednesday at 2 PM! (No official info—lucky us 🍀). A maze of 12 shady courtyards 🌿—so peaceful we lingered for ages. 🍽️ Must-Eat: Taberna Salina (Michelin Guide-approved!) Hits: Orange & fish salad (sweet-savory magic!), oxtail stew, grilled mushrooms. #Córdoba #SpanishGem #TravelDiaries #FoodieFinds #Andalusia 🌍✨
