This is such an invaluable channel for planning an iberian holiday. I actually enjoy this more than those influencer and instagram reels with too much pizzazz and very little content :) well done!
Thanks a lot for your kind words. We are definitely focused on content and hate wasting anybody's time, including ours. All the best!
We are planning a day trip to Córdoba. Tony’s video has helped us in that his information is precise, and loaded with details that us aid in making decisions about where to visit under a time crunch. Like his other videos, it’s refreshing that he actually shows you the sites he and his wife visit, as opposed to so many CZcamsrs who are more interested in putting their faces on camera as much as possible.
Thank you for your kind words, Frank. When we started on CZcams it was clear to us this channel should never be about our trips but rather about what can our trips to do help you. We still like to appear briefly on camera, but the channel is all about the destinations, not us. Recognition for our way of doing always make us happy. All the best!
This has been my favorite tourist video on Cordoba! We’ve booked five nights there and are now really excited to explore the city. We’re also excited try so many new foods. Thanks for all the suggestions!❤
Thank you, Indy, hope you will have a smashing time in Córdoba, it's a very beautiful city. While there, and since you will have enough time, don't miss Medina Azahara: czcams.com/video/0A3LZKB-E8w/video.html
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugale just returned home from our visit, and I have two words to say. Qué Calor! 🥵🫠🔥
Even with temps in the 40’s we still enjoyed every minute. I can’t heap enough praise onto this city. Your video is spot on about what to see and do. My favorite part was the people. Everyone was so wonderful. The positive vibe made it even more special.
@@indyschlumpf728 delighted to hear you had a great time in a city we love. We've warned so many times about the heat in Andalusia during the summer months we don't know what else we can do! Bear in mind it can get even worse!
How was the experience eventually? Be honest!
Mazamorra is heaven. I’ve eaten it 3 times in 3 days and I don’t want to stop. And in Sevilla and Granada I already tried Salmorejo and Berenjenas con Miel thanks to your tips. Such wonderful dishes.
Glad to hear of your culinary experience!
Best travel guide in YT for Spain! Thank you Tony and wife.
Many thanks from Cecilia and myself, Jovani!
Adored cordoba, especially the baths between the mosque and the later palace, and the great noria near the Roman bridge, so impressed either the noria. The baths had an example from the caliphate, and from the taifa period etc,
What a great video.
We are going to Córdoba in December.
Thank you for all your recommendations .
Hope you'll have a great time!
me and my wife are visiting cordoba in september for two nights, thank you for this video its the best one that i've seen, the sights look absolutely stunning and cant wait to see them.
Great to hear that, Michael, hope you'll love Córdoba as much as we do.
Spain has so many stunningly beautiful cities, but I think Cordoba really is calling to me. Very pretty and quite artistic.
Córdoba is really beautiful, one of our true Spanish passions.
Your video production is so beautiful ! This is great film making . Thanks for your generous and wise guidance.
Many thanks for your kind words, Mary.
Thank you, Tony. Taking my wife to Cordoba for a few days for her birthday 🥳 on 2/26/2023
Great choice! We do hope you will fall in love with the city!
You are the best! Always showing the best to people!
Our pleasure, Paco!
Thank you for such a beautiful video, we have been to Cordoba twice over the years and love it. Going for 4 nights in March 2023 still haven't seen all the places you mentioned. Thank you Tony, Dave UK.
Delighted to hear you share our passion for Córdoba, Dave. Thank you for your words.
Thanks for the video! Heading to Andalusia sometime October.
👏👏👏👏
Thanks so much, this was really helpful!
Great to hear that!
your videos are really top class so informative and so well put togather
Delighted to hear that, Joe.
I''m so incredibly grateful for all the amazing videos you create. I've watched several from this introduction of Cordoba, to others that teach how to use public transportation in Barcelona, etc. You all are such a valuable resource, I can't thank you enough.
Delighted to hear that, and many thanks for your kind words, Tammy.
We were in Cordoba 2008 and we stayed at what was believed to be the residence of Seneca, being ignorant I had never heard of him. I was amazed when I researched and found who Seneca was and he actually comes from Cordoba. It is truly one place you must visit in Spain.
👍🏻
Well done, covered all the beautiful sights, without being focused on yourself and unnecessary chit chat, like most tourist videos on youtube.
Thank you for your kind words, Farah. This is a personal CZcams channel and for that reason we like to appear on our videos, but we want to focus on the destinations we cover, the videos are not about us but rather about what can we do for you. Thanks for appreciating the effort we make on trying to make things our way. If we can be of any help, let us know. Kind regards!
Minimum 3 nights to really enjoy it. And makre sure to book the alcazar and mosque in advance!
One of the best video on my beloved Córdoba! Feel very nostalgic after watching this as I live in Australia! Thank you
Muchas gracias a ti, Loli. We are passionate about Córdoba!
I will be there next month and your video was very helpful to me. You did a great job. Loves from Turkey.
Great to hear that, Emin, hope you have a wonderful trip!
Thank you, Gracias! I’ll be leaving for Spain in 10 days and have been watching many of your videos. Very helpful and great to get a preview of what I might see. We’ll be visiting Cordoba for a day trip from Sevilla. Looking forward to it! Thanks again!!!
Have a wonderful trip, Susan!
Hi Tony, Just got back from Cordoba 4 nights after 17 years! managed to do most of what you show in the video. the courtyards in Barrio de san Bassilio are such a delight. Went to Mecado Victoria twice. Re Berenenjenas con Miel Fabulous!!!
Once again Tony Thank you for your Lovely Video.
Dave UK.
Great to hear that, Dave, wish we had those "berenjenas con miel" where we live! All the best!
Thank you for such a well presented video. Will be spending 2 nights in Cordoba this September. My wife and I will be following your advice. Excellent filming and soundtrack. Gracias.
Thanks Rob, great to hear you'll be spending two nights in Córdoba. Hope you'll share the love we feel for the city. All the best!
My thanks. Carry on!
Our pleasure!
Great guide to my favourite city

Wonderful, thank you for sharing this video of Cordoba. Planning to visit in the near future.
Thank you, Ilana, we hope you'll fall in love with Córdoba. All the best!
Nice vdo, thx, I am in Cordoba, appreciating every aspect of Cordoba..🤞🏽
Great to hear that, hope you make the most of a wonderful city!
Great video!
Thank you!
Veramente molto bello 👍 bravissimo 🙋
👏👏👏 Thank you, Anna!
Cordoba looks wonderful and the video makes us want to know, to be there. Excellent video, with important tips, very well produced and beautiful places. I loved it!
Thank you for your words, Yara!
I definitely missed most of these areas. I will return. It's beautiful and so much to see and learn. Thank you...yes, a night and a full day will be amazing.
It's alway good to have a reason to return to a beautiful place!
Parabéns, QUALIDADE TOP.
Muito obrigado!
Thanks for another wonderful road-trip, Tony !!! 👌
I got to visit Córdoba on our way to Sevilla years ago, unfortunately I didn’t have enough time to explore the city. I missed out on so many beautiful sites which I discovered in your video. But I did enjoy our visit to the Mesquita which was really a marvelous experience. Looking forward to our next road-trip. 😃 😃
Thank you, Jasper, nothing should prevent you from visiting the same city twice! All the best!
Best chanel to organize my Andalucia Road trip
Delighted to hear that, Antonios. Before the end of the summer, we should have new Andalusian content on the channel. All the best!
That was such an informative video and Cordoba is breathtaking! I only recently learned about Cordoba because of the Mosque Cathedral, but didn't know the town is filled with so many treasures! Thank you for sharing these gems. I may visit Barcelona for work in Sep this year. I'll definitely make it a point to spend a couple of nights in Cordoba :)
Thank you! Córdoba is truly wonderful, if you can spend two days in the city you won't regret it!
Great job with this video- we have a little over 24 hours for our upcoming stay, and this video has provided clarity on what to do when there. Great video!
Hope you'll have a great experience in Córdoba!
Again, thank you for making the best videos (of all areas) in CZcams. Truly incredible. I wish we can meet in one of your trips so I can thank you in person. Also, please, if you can, make videos about Santander, Bilbao, A Coruña, Gijon, and Vigo.
Thank you for your kind words! Recording videos involves traveling to the cities, and our agenda is quite limited. But Bilbao is one of our priorities. All the best.
Thank you SO much for this. I have recently moved to Cordoba and you have given me some extra ideas. and I totally recommend the Mercado Victoria
Have a superb stay in Córdoba, Jason, it's a wonderful city. All the best!
Thank you so much for making these videos! They have been very helpful with the planning of my month-long trip to Spain starting in late-June of 2022! This video convinced me to spend some time in Cordoba. I am very excited, albeit a little concerned about the pickpockets while in Barcelona... Otherwise, I can't wait to see this amazing country! Cheers from Long Island, NY USA!
We're so glad to hear you've set aside some time for Córdoba, we hope you'll love the city. As for the pickpockets, don't let the thought ruin your holiday. They are an incredible nuisance (not just in Barcelona, mind you!), but as long as you are aware of their presence and keep your valuables safe, you'll be fine. All the best from Zaragoza!
Yeh, Barcelona is best avoided it's a dump.
Loving your videos. Thank you. Hopefully, you can advise us on the best places to stay in old town with a range of tariffs, just like you have done in other places, as that’s really helpful! Cheers from Australia
Hi Marg. We don't have a video on accommodation in Córdoba yet, but if you find a hotel you like and want to know our opinion, do ask!
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal fantastic thank you. Will do. I found your Zaragoza recommendations so helpful! Cheers,
Marg
Hi Tony, your shows are FABULOUS, the best. We will be going to Spain in September and would like to know if you have any hotel recommendations in Cordoba and also Ronda. Thank you so much from sunny Florida.
Hi Solange, we haven't done any videos on accommodation on those cities. We found it really hard to give blind recommendations, but here you go:
- lovely hotel in Córdoba: www.booking.com/hotel/es/las-casas-de-la-juderia.es.html?aid=359492
- not luxury but perfect hotel in Ronda: www.booking.com/hotel/es/ronda-polo.es.html?aid=359492
If you find a hotel in Córdoba that suits your needs and want to know our opinion, do ask! All the best from Zaragoza!
Such a beautiful town. I can't wait to return. I was there in October 2019, just for a day. Clearly, not sufficient time.
Córdoba is fantastic indeed!
I wish you do a similar video about Granada
It's in the wish list.
I've seen dozens of photos of the Mezquita but none as interesting as yours. Felicitaciones.
Thanks a lot, Lynn! 👏👏👏
Nice video, planning on spending 3 nights here after seeing your video, thank you we'll be watching alot more of your videos to plan our trip to spain. Maybe you could include entry prices, where applicable as well as prices of food and travel (seen a few of your other travel videos and price isn't mentioned), anyway thanks again.
Hello there and be very welcome to the channel. Three nights in Córdoba? What a great choice! We avoid mentioning entry prices because we want our videos to remain fresh for as long as possible. If you mention a price, it will be out-of-date in no time at all. Someone watching our video in 5 years time will probably find it is a disservice to mention a price that no longer exists. In this time and age it is really easy to check up-to-date entry prices on the internet, but if you have problems finding them, let us know and we'll check them out for you. All the best!
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal hola Tony, thanks for replying to my comment and your informative videos. I do understand your point about prices changing overtime and dating of videos, but pricing info does help. Regardless I've found your videos very helpful and using them to plan our 4-6 week trip later on this year. I wish you all the best with the success of the channel
@@vladtepes6690 thank you for your kind words and if you need any help, let us know!
Hi Tony, great videos and what great information you provide, anyone travelling to Spain and Portugal can refer to your channel for every little detail.
Do you think in your expert opinion it is possible to do a day trip to Cordoba, leave Madrid early and return from Cordoba in the evening.
Hi Shazly, the day trip, using the high-speed train, is possible, but with so much to see in Córdoba, you'll end up rushing from one place to another.
Great video! Were you able to create a video for the Cordoba Mosque? I did a search on your channel but could not find it. Thanks!
Thank you. No, we don't have a video for the mosque nor plan to do one in the short term, as we have other priorities right now. But one day we'll get there.
Great video!... if you should suggest some other cities to combine with a visit to Cordoba..... what would that be?... we already visited Seville and Granada, thanks
Hard to tell. Probably Cáceres and Merida in nearby Extremadura.
Hi Tony, have you done the separate video you were planning on the Mosque-Cathedral? I haven't spotted one.
No, we haven't.
환타스틱, 코르도바~
Indeed, it's a wonderful city we are passionate about.
Hello Tony and Cecilia, we love your videos. Incredibly helpful! If we want to go to Medina Azahara, what is the best way to travel there?
I answered my own question by finding your video on Medina Azahara!
We were just about to copy the link to that video for you!
Such a wonderful video. Going next month. How many days did you take to visit all of this?
Most people stay in Córdoba just the one night, but you would have to leave out quite a few places if you only had one day. Try to spend two or three nights, so you can also visit Medina Azahara: czcams.com/video/0A3LZKB-E8w/video.html All the best.
Hi Tony ! Thank you for this great video . Do we need do buy any tickets in advance for any of the places you suggest to visit ? Thank you 😊
There are plenty of tourists around these days but I would say no, there is no need.
Hi Tony. We are spending 3 nights in Cordoba ( taking your advice and slowing down to have quality time in each destination)
Thinking of doing a day trip to Granada. Very much want to see La Alhambra. Understand a long day. Your suggestions appreciated.
Great to hear you'll be spending three nights in Córdoba 👏👏 But Granada could never be seen as a day trip, we recommend a minimum of three nights in Granada to see the very basics. Leave Granada for a future trip when you can visit the city with adequate time. Visiting the Alhambra on a rush... a definite no-no.
Thanks for your Spain videos, get lots of useful information. I am planning to visit Seville, Granada and Cordoba in mid June, how’s the weather, will it be too hot?
Hello Pauline, be very welcome to the channel. June is our favorite month of the year to visit Spain. But in the south, if there's a heat wave over Spain, could get very hot (temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius). Unfortunately, it's impossible to tell in advance whether that's going to happen or not. June in the region is a much better choice than July, the chances of a heat wave are smaller. All the best!
Thank you Tony. We’ll take this into considerations.
@@paulineauyeung2161 We are in Córdoba now, it's 43 C. Crazy warm but it is beautiful here!
I'm going to Malaga early next month, I've already decided we're going to Gibraltar as my GF hasn't been but I'm deciding between Cordoba or Granada for another day trip. Which would you choose? Great video BTW
Granada could never ever be contemplated as a day trip, minimum three nights. So it would have to be Córdoba. See here the number of days we recommend for the most visited Spanish cities czcams.com/video/GkgrYc89s_o/video.html All the best!
Hi Tony, compliments on all your informative videos. We will be staying in Cordoba for four nights next month. We would like to take a day trip to Ronda. How do you recommend we travel there. Many thanks. Amy
Hi Amy, take the train, but bear in mind you will spend nearly four hours to go and come back.
Hi Tony 😊
I am very impressed with your video. It is full of useful information and easy to understand. I need your little help with travel information from cordoba to Castillo Almodovar del Rio by public transport. I've been trying to find bus travel information myself, but I'm still confused. In addition, I had to ask for advice on my itinerary. On the 1st of December, I traveled from Granada and arrived in Cordoba at 7:30 am. Me and my 70-year-old father wanted to visit. Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba and Castillo Almodovar del Rio in the same day. How should I organize my itinerary? Please advise. And if possible please make a video about Castillo Almodovar del Rio that would be awesome. Thank you for your help.
Hi there, we haven't been to the castle yet, it's quite hard if you don't have your own transport. You could always check with a taxi driver how much it would cost you. Check also at the tourist office in Córdoba once you arrive.
@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal would a day trip to Ronda be possible from Cordoba? Thanks
Hello Tony, We are enjoying your videos immensely! Next month we are traveling to Spain and will be in Madrid followed by Cordoba, then Granada, and back to Madrid. Our trips will be by train from and to Atocha Station, and we have a question. In your opinion, should we purchase our train tickets now, or wait until we are in Madrid? We are seniors and are aware that we can purchase Tarjeta Dorada passes which can save us 25% (?) off train fares. But we have watched your videos and learned that train prices can rise the closer we get to our travel date. What would you do - buy tickets now and forget the discount passes, or wait until we are there to get the senior discount passes? Fyi ... We are traveling to Cordoba the day after our arrival in Madrid. Thank you so much for your advice.
Hi Carol, to us, there is no discussion, buy your tickets as early as possible. The discounts offered by the Tarjeta Dorada pale in comparison with the ones you can get buying four months in advance. All the best!
Hi Tony. Thank you! We will buy our tickets tomorrow via the Traintime link on your CZcams channel. 😀
That’s great, thank you!
Thank you for the tips. Do you know the opening hours for Alcazar of the christian monarchs? I will be visiting Cortoba on Friday and there is no information online if it is open on Fridays.
Yvonne, it opens, from Tuesday to Friday, from 08:15 to 20:00, and on Saturday and Sunday, from 09:30 to 18:00.
Can Cordoba be the base for a trip around Andalusia or is Seville better? My only issue is seville is 2 hrs away from Granada and Malaga
None of the cities you mention can be contemplated as day trips, so you would need to stay in each one of them. Many people do Córdoba as a day trip from Seville, but as you will have seen on the video, there are too many interesting things to see in Córdoba.
In winter from Tuesday to Friday after 6pm you can access the Alcazar de los reyes Christianos for free. You're welcome.
The info we have - from official sources, is that it is free just on Thursdays after 6pm.
Hi Tony
Travelling on ALSA between Granada - Cordoba, how early must one be at the bus station?
Regards
Amy
You could get there 10 minutes before departure, but we always try to arrive 30 minutes in advance to allow for any delays getting to the station.
Ok, great.
I’m planning to travel to Granada 1 day, Cordoba 2 days and Seville 1 day so total in 4 days and 5 nights ! Do you think it’s possible to cover most places of those cities ?
Absolutely not. We recommend a minimum of three nights in Granada and three nights in Seville.
Un día Granada un día Córdoba ?? Imposible!!
@@hoosomio I did stay 2 nights in each city at the end 😊
Hola Tony, I will be visiting Córdoba in mid June and want to buy tickets in advance to the Alcazar de Los Reyes, I visited the Alcazar official website but cannot find tickets there, do you know where I can buy entrance tickets in advance, thank you
Hello Pauline, we checked that a week ago and it would seem the possibility of booking online the entrance to the Alcázar has disappeared, we don't know why. The best you could do is head to the tourist office (right by the mosque) to find out. All the best!
Hi Tony. Having trouble finding ticket to Andalusia stable and horse show. Can u suggest a website for tickets.
I tried there offical website but could not locate ticket sales. Noela /Australia
Hi Noela, this is the official website where you can purchase the tickets: cordobaecuestre.janto.es/espectaculo/pasion-y-duende-del-caballo-andaluz/PASIONDUENDE
Thank you Tony. Found and booked😊
Are there any tickets that you feel I need to buy in advance for an August visit? And yes, I know it will be very hot! 😬
August is low season in Córdoba, so we don't feel there is any particular need to book tickets in advance.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Thank you!
Which restaurants did you eat at and which dish?
We don't have that video yet, but in this video we recommend our favorite restaurants in Córdoba: czcams.com/video/hAoVo1GpuWw/video.html
How would you feel about letting me know, even though you don't have a video! 😊
The courtyards, Palace, Mosque, Tower at the end if he bridge. Do you have to pay to see them if yes can you buy tickets on the day of entry. Is a day Enough to see most of these places. Good video.
You pay to see some (but not all) of the attractions you mentioned. You can check details at Córdoba's official tourism website: www.turismodecordoba.org/monuments-and-museums-opening-hours Unless you were visiting Córdoba during a very busy period (Easter, May), we do not feel it necessary to buy the tickets in advance.
As for the time needed, check out the end of the video, where we share advice on the issue.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal I was thinking of visiting in early June. Would that be ok to buy tickets on arrival.
I would say yes. May is a busy month because of a local "fiesta", but while June is not low season, is not the worst time of the year either.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Thanks. So i should be OK to buy tickets on the day as I visit the tourist places.
@@tarny11 in normal circumstances, which obviously are beyond our control, you should be ok. But if you want to guarantee your ticket, buy at least the entrance to the Mosque in advance.
We are coming to Cordoba in May 2023 and spend almost a month with family. How can we connect with you?
You have already done so! We reply to all questions related to tourism in Spain here in the channel.
the infusion of jewish, moorish and christian cultures over the centuries make Cordoba a uniquely beautiful place to visit and get lost. The people are friendly and helpful; the food tasty and creatively presented. Try natillas; a creamy andalusian dessert. Thank you for your video.
Thank you, Manny, Córdoba is truly exceptional. Natillas are found all throughout Spain, they are one of the most common desserts in the entire country, with quite a few regional variations. All the best!
Is 1 day enough in cordoba ?
One day and one night for the very basic. Check this video out with more details: czcams.com/video/xD9IGi7DT8c/video.html
Your videos are beautiful. Did you have to get special permission to film? My husband and I almost got thrown out for taking pictures!
Thank you, Emily! We only film where photos and videos are allowed. Where did you had those problems taking pictures?
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal In the Mezquita. A guy kept yelling at us "No picture, no picture!" and started following us around.
@@emilyserafamanschot800 when was that, Emily? Today, you are allowed to take pictures inside the mosque. The only explanation I can think is that the rule was different when you visited the monument.
We were last there in 1996. Time for another trip back! We have visited Spain many times but have not been in Andalucía since then.@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal
@@emilyserafamanschot800 alright! A lot has changed since then. Hope you get to discover it on your next return to Andalusia. All the best!
