🇪🇸 Spain | Córdoba Day Trip (Madrid Departure + Luggage Tips)

🚄 From Madrid to Córdoba ▸ Depart from Atocha Station (inspiration for Zootopia’s train hub!), but no indoor jungle spotted 😢. ▸ Check your carriage number before joining the long queue! ▸ 2-hour ride → Arrive at Córdoba Station.🚈 🧳 Luggage Storage ▸ Opposite the train station: Bus terminal (grey building). ▸ Right staircase: Buy a €4 locker token (check availability first—keys hanging = empty). ▸ If full, €5 for manual storage (safe & reliable).😊 🏰 Attractions (All Walkable!) 1️⃣ Mezquita-Catedral Moorish masterpiece: 800 columns + 400 arches = 1,001 Nights vibes. Christian additions: Baroque sculptures inside the mosque (!).🎈 Pro tip: Buy tickets at kiosks → crowds thin after lunch. 2️⃣ Taberna Salinas (C. Tundidores, 3)😃 Must-order: Braised oxtail (fall-off-the-bone tender). 3️⃣ Calleja de las Flores (Flower Alley) Overhyped but photogenic (filter needed for the "100 flowers" claim).🤣 4️⃣ Horse Carriage Ride Haggled from €60 to €25 for 30 mins.✌️ Miscommunication drama: Offered chocolate to the horse 🍫→ driver looked horrified. 5️⃣ Roman Bridge Best views from the opposite bank (but we rested in the shade instead 😅). ⚠️ Heads Up ▸ No Uber: Hail cabs on the street. ▸ Castles/temples close by 3 PM. #SpainTravel #Cordoba #DayTrip #TravelHacks ✨🌍
