TRIP  Sevilla (Pza Armas) - Cordoba

The most important area in Córdoba is the city centre. A walk around the Judería is essential, with its charming houses and small alleys such as Flores Street or Hoguera Street. Cross the many squares, like Plaza del Potro and Plaza de Capuchinos, and experience the entire city centre. Another must is the Córdoba Mosque, the most famous monument in the city. At sunset go down to the Guadalquivir river and delight in the evening colours over the Roman Bridge. Take the opportunity to taste the tapas and typical local dishes like salmorejo and flamenquines.

 Córdoba & Granada
If you wake up early then you can visit the magnificent Córdoba Mosque for free (between 8:30 and 9:30, except Sundays). Additional famous attractions include the famous Patios de Córdoba, also free during the Patios Festival in May. For the rest of the year you can organise a guided tour or visit the 12 patios hidden in the Palacio de Viana, known as the patios museum.

TRIP  Cordoba - Granada

An evening in Granada offers you a variety of options. The most romantic choice is to walk around the Albayzín neighbourhood, wandering through the small alleys and the whitewashed houses until sunset, when you should head to the San Nicolás lookout where you can admire how the evening colours melt against the Alhambra. If you would prefer a more active alternative, there are plenty of bars in the city where you can enjoy the nightlife and the tapas, in neighbourhoods like Realejo, Navas Street, around the bullring or the banks of the Genil river.

One must-see attraction during your stay in Granada is also one of the most emblematic monuments in Spain: The Alhambra. You can spend a morning or evening on it, and it's recommended that you plan in advance because the daily entrance is limited and tickets run out quickly. The city centre, with the cathedral and the Royal Chapel, is another essential area to see. Also, go to the Albayzín neighbourhood and visit Sacromonte, or relax in some of the Arab baths, like El Bañuelo, from the 11th century. To finish your day, you must try Granada's bars, tapas and nightlife.

 Granada & Sevilla
The morning in Granada is best spent walking around the city centre, in the cathedral area, or along the Carrera del Darro and Paseo de los Tristes. When you get hungry, grab something to eat or drink in one of the terrace bars at the feet of the Alhambra. Another option is to walk down Elvira street, where the Albayzín neighbourhood starts and wander among the tea shops, small 'tiendas' and bazaars that make you feel like you're in Morocco.

TRIP  Granada - Sevilla (Pza Armas)

There are several ways to enjoy the evening in Sevilla. You could go to the city centre to take a look at the cathedral and the famous Giralda bell tower. Another option is to go to the magnificent Plaza de España (Spain Square), in Maria Luisa Park. Alternatively, go to the modern Metropol Parasol, commonly known as 'The Umbrella', where you can find some great bars with the cheapest beers in the city. If you're looking for somewhere to spend a night out, the Arenal and Alameda areas are just a couple of choices.
