Thinking of Visiting Cordoba? Read this first!, Cordoba, Spain

Travelling takes time and money and hindsight is a wonderful thing. I have just returned from 3 days in Cordoba and can share with you the benefits of having been there and getting the T shirt.

We visited at the end of February and enjoyed a very pleasant 16 – 20 degrees of blue skies and sunshine during the days dropping down to a comfortable 9 degrees at night. No need for sun cream, sun hats or air conditioning. Yes – there were plenty of visitors – especially in the middle of the day – but the narrow cobbled streets and the main tourist sites weren’t at all crowded.

If you want to see flower filled patios, then you would need to brave the crowds they inevitably bring. July and August are way too hot for most people. Many of the restaurants shut their doors during the hot Summer months. The cooler Autumn months could be a good choice too.
