The second stop during my Andalucía adventure was the old, but charming city of Córdoba.
I don’t have many photos from Córdoba because to be honest, I didn’t try to take photos and the ones that I have aren’t the best, but I want to share them anyways. I know every blogger and blog site recommends only sharing “the best content and photos,” but in reality it’s all a lie if that’s what I am basing my blog on. Of course, I don’t always take good photos but it doesn’t mean that I am going to keep myself from sharing the places that I visit with you all! …and because I was there for such a short amount of time I really wanted to enjoy it and be in the moment because being on my phone all the time for taking photos or trying to work out angles can be exhausting and takes away from the experience, in my opinion.
Also, right after arriving, I met three really awesome guys from Zaragoza and I spent the whole 24 hours with them and I didn’t want to ruin their company by being with my camera the whole time. Which is something that can easily happen when I am traveling with the mindset of only getting content for my blog and Instagram; it is super easy to quit living in the moment which isn’t good because you aren’t really experiencing the place in which you are traveling to despite physically being there. So that being said, here’s what I know about Córdoba and what I have to show you!
24 Hours in Córdoba
Córdoba was *probably* my favorite stop during my trip. It is located between Seville and Granada in Southern Spain. Being a rather small city it has a fantastic and very fun ambiance that shouldn’t be underestimated. Córdoba is full of history and it was settled during Roman times and also has Arabic and Christian influences too in the architecture. I was only in Córdoba for a day so to say that it was my favorite city in Andalucía is saying a lot about it. I didn’t hit up many touristy spots, but the city has so much more to offer.
The old town is like a maze and it is so easy to get lost but that’s how you find the best places in Córdoba. Just follow to curvy, cobblestone streets and I guarantee you will find something interesting! The streets are full of music and people enjoying the cafes and restaurants. The patios that you will see are decorated with plants and flowers that overall make the city feel more happy. Take a stroll on the old Roman bridge because there are music performers, artists, and all kinds of people there that will catch your eye. I also have to say that I really enjoyed the night life in Córdoba. I don’t usually go out or particularly enjoy going out, but I had a blast there and it was the perfect night. Just start out with some tapas and wine at the bars by the cathedral, maybe go to some flamenco, get dinner and see where the night takes you!
Where I stayed:
If you go to Córdoba, stay here. The hostel is located in a quiet area, but still in the center of the old town. The rooms are very nice and comfortable. Each room also has it’s own bathroom which makes it very easy to shower and get ready for the day. There is also a terrace which has a view of the Cathedral and at night it is an amazing view!
Sorry for the beginning rant and for not uploading the best photos in this blog, but I hope you enjoyed it all the same! In case you missed it, read my blog about my first stop in Southern Spain, Seville.
Thank you guys as always for reading! ♥ Molly
