A mere 45 minutes away from Seville on the high speed AVE train, Cordoba’s main draw is its Mezquita – dating back to the eighth century, it was formerly the third largest mosque in the world and now a cathedral. The Moorish architecture – huge, red and white striped arches in the praying hall – is some of the best Islamic art in the western world. There are plenty of other things to see too, including Roman remains, an Alcazar (Moorish fortress), and architecture along the Guadalquivir river.

Just spent some time there testing the new Bugatti Veyron Super Sport. Lovely area. So busy driving at ridiculous speeds that I didn't get to enjoy the beauty as much as I could have. A definite must to go back!

So in other words you broke traffic laws by speeding (gas tank empties after 15 min at top speed)
and didn't get to see Seville and environs eh?

I prefer to think of them more as "traffic suggestions".

Love Andalucia, beautiful part of Spain with friendly people, great food and gorgeous landscapes. Gibraltar is a fun visit, a mix of British, Moroccan and Spanish all crammed together onto a small rock.

Beware the thieving monkeys of Gibraltar!!
They are not to be trusted!
