Cordoba, formerly the capital of the Muslim Spain, is the most important city of a territory located in the Herat of Andalucia geography. The Guadalquivir , which becomes stagnant in the middle of its course, comes across this province from the east to the west, fertilizing the plains where cereals, grapevines and olive trees are cultivated.
To the North, the countryside becomes frizzy, reaching the furthest tops of Sierra Morena, with an overcrowded wood and an intensive hunting activity.
To the South, the countryside goes up to the mountains of the Subbetica range. The olive groves and the elegant white villages with a well-preserved Baroque architecture extend all over these calcareous fields.
The mountainous landscape gives shelter to a varied fauna.
The province of Córdoba houses the traces of its Iberian, Roman and Muslim past. Indeed, it possesses an impressive monumental heritage and a tradition as rich as its gastronomy.
