Córdoba is situated in the very heart of the part of Spain
that was called 'Al Andalus' by the Moors. It is Andalusia that
gives colour and atmosphere to the picture of Spain and it's here
that sun, palms, tradition and flamenco dominate. As the historic
capital of the Moors, and litte changed since, Córdoba
is an exotic blend of Roman, Jewish, Moorish and Christian cultures,
making it like no other place. And though a medieval feel is still
present in its picturesque squares, stunning palaces and crooked
alleys, Córdoba's charm has not been diminished by decades
of tourists. Today, it is a young and modern city, with approximately
300,000 residents and some 40,000 university students all enjoying
its many attractions.
