Today, there’s a modern commercial center, but most travelers love strolling the town’s ancient cobblestone streets, peeking through gates for glimpses of lush flowers and beautiful tiled fountains.

A first class private tour to Antequera. Our day trip to El Torcal, El Alcazaba and the Dolens of Antequera was a wonderful experience after a year of lockdowns and is not to be missed! Cipriano is a very friendly and knowledgeable guide who picked us up on time from Cómpeta. We will definitely book Oletrips again very soon.

This is the second time we have booked the Patios of Cordoba Festival Tour, which is operated by Konexion Tours— both times have been absolutely wonderful, especially the most recent time with Juan Carlos for the English group. He is personable, knowledgeable and loves his hometown. The tour was amazing, and we had an incredible experience. We booked the reservation primarily for the patios, but ended up learning so much more about the history of Cordoba, and saw far more patios than we ever could have seen otherwise. I highly recommend getting a tour guide to see the patios, especially if Spanish is not your native language, because trying to find the patios by yourself is very challenging and it can be difficult. The tour guides make the trip more enjoyable and you will get to see several patios, whereas if you try go without one, some of the patios can be difficult to locate or have certain hours that they are closed, etc. The tour guides know the best routes to go to maximize your time and will explain a little bit about the background and history of the patios and the city of Cordoba. We will certainly be back and will certainly use him for more tours of Cordoba in the future. - Esta es la segunda vez que reservamos el Tour de los Patios de Córdoba, que es operado por Konexion Tours- ambas veces han sido absolutamente maravillosas, especialmente la más reciente con Juan Carlos para el grupo de Inglés. Es una persona agradable, con conocimientos y ama su ciudad natal. El tour fue increíble, y tuvimos una experiencia increíble. Hicimos la reserva principalmente por los patios, pero terminamos aprendiendo mucho más sobre la historia de Córdoba, y vimos muchos más patios de los que podríamos haber visto de otra manera. Recomiendo encarecidamente conseguir un guía turístico para ver los patios, especialmente si el español no es tu lengua materna, porque tratar de encontrar los patios por ti mismo es muy desafiante y puede ser difícil. Los guías turísticos hacen que el viaje sea más agradable y que puedas ver varios patios, mientras que si intentas ir sin uno, algunos de los patios pueden ser difíciles de localizar o tienen ciertas horas que están cerradas, etc. Los guías turísticos conocen las mejores rutas para ir a maximizar su tiempo y explicarán un poco sobre el fondo y la historia de los patios y la ciudad de Córdoba. Sin duda volveremos y sin duda lo utilizaremos para más tours de Córdoba en el futuro.

Be awed by the spectacular beauty of the Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba on a guided tour of one of the most visited monuments in Spain. Conserving the decorative style of an Islamic mosque, construction of the magnificent monument began in the 8th century. Later extensions vastly increased its size, turning it into the second biggest mosque in the world before it became a Catholic cathedral. Venture inside to discover a forest of columns and elegant double arches, and admire the ornate maqsuramihrab (apse) along with other decorative highlights. Be led by an official guide to build a full picture of this landmark building. Your tour includes Tickets, audio guide and taxes.
