With its breathtaking Mosque-Cathedral and the very inviting event called Feria de Los Patios, there is more than enough culture and history to make Cordoba a city visitors should most assuredly explore and a great reason to board a train to Cordoba. The city is home to the largest old town in the country of Spain and is one of the only cities in the world that has four distinct UNESCO sites for visitors to experience. Every spring the city is home to the Feria de Los Patios that is a Festival centred on a wide variety of flower types that you will only find in this city in Spain.

Beyond the events and the architecture visitors will also find a very robust bar and restaurant scene as well as a very warm and sun-filled climate most days of the year. Some spots that visitors flock to include the Alcazar of the Christian Monarchs that is an ancient palace with breathtaking gardens, the Castillo Almodovar del Rio that is a grand castle that sits perched high on a hill just outside of the city, and the Torre de Calahorra that is a one-time Medieval gate and tower that is now a museum.
