Córdoba

Córdoba is a city found in Andalusia and is well known for the Mezquita, the great mosque of the city. The interior is incredible, so don’t forget to charge your camera! Other places, such as Patio de los Naranjos and Minaret, Palacio de Viana, Casa de Sefarad and Museo de Bellas Artes are also quite beautiful if you are keen to see some more sites.

Casa Mazal and Taberna San Miguel El Pisto are both delicious places to eat, as well as Bodegas Campos, El Churrasco, Taberna Sociedad de Plateros and El Astronauta are also great, so pick whichever is closest to you or suits your taste. The prices vary so be aware of that.

 Majority of the hostels are around $30 and are mostly one star. Some are not too bad, including Hotel Mariano, Hotel Abadi and Hotel Plateros, with one of the most fun, alcohol fuelled hostels being Funky Cordoba. Everyone there is lovely and with only being $16 a night it’s worth it. It is hard not to make new friends here. If you’re in the mood for some chocolate and churros, Don Pepe is yummy.

There are some great bars around the area as well. Bar Correo, Bodega Guzman, La Pataita de Antonio, Amapola and Bar-Cafeteria Soul all are always crowded and have decent music and drinks.
