Cordoba
…..a UNESCO World Heritage city since 1984, is a great place to learn Spanish
With a population of 350,000, it is a comparatively small city, but with a fascinating cultural heritage, dating back to the time of the Moors.
While Cordoba is known worldwide for its historic beauty and the Mezquito, one of the world’s architectural wonders, the modern city is more and more cosmopolitan and fashionable, with a vibrant city life full of warm and welcoming people.
Cordoba is in the very centre of Andalusia, the southernmost region of Spain enjoying a warm sunny climate during most of the year. There are good connections to the closest international airports: Madrid is under 2 hours away, Seville only 40 minutes away and Malaga only 2 hours.
