Exploring the Flavours of Cordoba and Andalucia: Like the long-lasting memories that come from them, the experiences of travel are what make it priceless and unique. We believe that a city's culture and essence is best explored by sampling the food, wine and culinary customs of that city, and we invite you to join us in exploring the flavours of Córdoba as we do just that…
Córdoba in Southern Spain: The medieval city of Córdoba was a vital shipping port for the Romans to transport Spanish olive oil, wine and wheat back to Ancient Rome, and still celebrates its culinary heritage today. This sleepy Southern Spanish city – once the largest and most splendid city in the world – is home to two delicious cornerstones of Spanish cuisine: bulls' tail stew and salmorejo.
One building alone is enough to put Córdoba high on any traveller's itinerary: the mesmerising multi-arched Mezquita. This stunning church-mosque is a symbol of the worldly and sophisticated Islamic culture that flourished here more than a millennium ago when Córdoba was the capital of Islamic Spain, and Western Europe's biggest and most cultured city.
In Springtime, the city's many trees, gardens and courtyards drip with foliage and blooms, providing a beautiful backdrop which has led to the city being dubbed a 'natural film set'.
The Excursion: After an early breakfast, you'll be taken to Córdoba to discover Cordoba's culinary heritage. We will embark on a walking tour across several ancient taverns and bars, many of which are untrodden by the usual tourist trail. You will sample traditional stews whilst also practicing the art of "tapear" (literally “taking tapas”).
