This is a beautiful place and is a MUST to visit. The mosque cathedral has topped my Top 10 List of Cathedrals. So make sure you save a day for this visit. Wished we could have more time there. For photographers, pls note that this trip is rather rushing.

The guide was very knowledgeable and the story of Cordoba flowed throughout the tour. It was very busy around the Jewish quarter with many groups. He also found us shade as we went through as it was a hot day.

A complete walk through the Jewish quarter with explanations of history and anecdotes. Visit to the synagogue and Alcázar. The Pilar Guide is very good, she has made the visit very enjoyable.
