Córdoba, Historic capital in Andalusia, Spain.

The Guadalquivir River flows through this city of white buildings with interior courtyards filled with geraniums and ceramic decorations.

The Mezquita, constructed as a mosque in 784, underwent transformation into a cathedral in 1236 after the Christian conquest of Cordoba.

The medieval Jewish quarter contains narrow streets, the 14th-century synagogue, and traditional houses with central patios adorned with plants.

The train station connects directly with Madrid in under two hours, while Seville and Malaga airports provide international access to the region.

The Patios Festival in May presents 50 private courtyards where residents display floral arrangements and traditional Andalusian architecture.
