Montefrio has been chosen by the National Geographic magazine as one of the ten towns with the most beautiful views in the world. This was their description: “Embedded between two steep cliffs, this village in the province of Granada surprises you with its fortified silhouette outlined in the sky, as evidence of how important it was as a border post of the kingdom of Granada.” Come and look at the infinite horizon of mountains and olive trees, breathe pure mountain air, discover monuments … Those are experiences to be enjoyed especially from our viewing-points.

It is located in the outskirts of town, on the road of Tocón. It offers one of the best known and most beautiful views , quite often displayed in the media: the Church of La Villa, built over the remains of a fortress on top of a large rocky outcrop, and the Church of La Encarnación. This park-viewpoint was named in honour of the renowned magazine that positioned Montefrio on the map internationally.

Christopher Columbus stayed at The Friary of La Rábida prior to leaving for the New World, before his historic project to search for the Indies had even begun to take shape. Martin Alonso Pinzón, who died shortly after his return from Columbus’ first voyage, is also buried here. The likes of Hernán Cortés, Gonzalo de Sandoval and Francisco Pizarro also sojourned here. This explains why The Friary of La Rabida is one of the most emblematic ports of call along what is known as the Lugares colombinos – a tourist route of places related to Columbus’ first voyage

A courtyard is an outdoor space in a house that provides lighting and ventilation to the other rooms. In addition, its accessible location makes it a communal area, the centre of family life. Due to the hot, dry Cordoban climate, the city’s inhabitants, - first the Romans and later the Moslems - adapted the typical design of the popular house to their needs, making the home centre around an inner courtyard (patio in Spanish), normally with a fountain in the middle and often a well to collect rainwater. The Moslems made further adjustments, giving the house an entrance from the street which passed through a porch, and filling the courtyard with plants to give the sensation of freshness.

Iberian ham is a type of cured ham that comes from black Iberian pigs that are fed on acorns and grasses. It has a rich, nutty and slightly salty flavor that enhances any dish.

Contemplative and - at first view - maybe somewhat unimposing, Plaza del Potro is actually one of the most remarkable squares in town. Framed by traditional architecture, the square is found in the heart of the San Francisco-Ribera Quarter, not far from the banks of the Guadalquivir River. In the middle of the square there is a 16th century Renaissance fountain with the sculpture of a rearing filly (potro, hence the name of the square) having the city arms between its forelegs.

Anyway, Plaza del potro is famous for another building found here - the so-called Posada del Potro, a former inn being mentioned in Miguel de Cervantes’ “Don Quixote”. In this way, this site became noticed by an audience all over the world.

A mining village with ancient origins but of modern construction due to the fact that the current village was built by the Mining Company at the beginning of the century to take advantage of the wealth in the subsoil of the previous village. Its urban construction follows a rational model, the best exponent being the Bellavista district which is an example of colonial architecture of English origin and which housed the company's staff. In its telluric, mysterious scenery, the mines stand out; mines which today are abandoned and used for tourism. Some, like Corta Atalaya are very spectacular. Currently, there is a very interesting initiative underway: the Mining Train, which covers the route that the minerals used to travel.

FLAMENQUÍNTo make the flamenquines cordobeses you need a few ingredients, but all of them are pretty easy to find. Some pork, flour, eggs, ham, and oil for frying are the main ingredients, but as you will see later, you can make a lot of replacements. Feel free to try other amazing Andalusian recipes such as tortilla de patatas or Spanish deviled eggs. They are easy to make and they are the perfect summer lunch.

The former quarries are lands of the Ancient Urso from where workers extracted the stone used for constructions from before the Roman occupation. It is known as “The Petra of Andalusia” because of its reliefs. Surely this rocky substratum has been used as a stone quarry continuously at least since Turdetan times. It seems that its operation was intensified as a result of the important constructive works carried out by the IV Count of Ureña in the 16th century until the 1960s of the last century in which it stops working. On the edge of a precipice made by the quarry workers of this place, there are still ruins of the Ermita de la Vía Sacra which was erected in the middle of the seventeenth century and was the side where the Way of the Cross ended. Close to this hermitage, like a chapel, the remains of tombs carved in the rock still stand, following the model of the Necropolis.

Sherry is pretty much like Spanish sunshine in a glass. But, according to the official definition, Spanish sherry is a fortified (aged) white wine from the Jerez region of Andalusia. Jerez translates as sherry in Spanish and the wine is named after the region. To clarify, there are strict rules as to what classifies as a sherry. Only fortified white wines bottled in Jerez and made using Jerez grapes can be awarded the D.O Jerez y Sanlúcar de Barrameda (Denominación de Origen) title. This protected designation of origin is what sets this wine apart from the rest. However, despite the modern regulations, sherry is one of the oldest wines created. Despite having a fuddy-duddy reputation in the UK, in Spain, sherry is the stylish drink of choice for combatting the heat of the summer.

Barbate, the gritty Andalucian town which has put the delicacy of wild bluefin tuna on the global culinary map. While this old fishing port won’t win many awards for its beauty, you can’t help but fall for the charm of the locals and the tastiest fish you will ever tuck into. The town isn’t only famous for its tuna. Until the late 90s it was called ‘Barbate de Franco’ after the dictator, who spent many summer holidays there, added his name in the 1950s in a bid to industrialise the town and create industry and jobs for the area.

The Cathedral of the archbishopric of Seville was built on the site where once a Moorish mosque, built by the Almohads, stood. This mosque was taken from the Moors in 1248 and was then used as a cathedral. In the 13th century, the mosque was destroyed, except for the Patio de los Naranjos (the orange court), and the Giralda tower. Construction of the cathedral began in 1403. The cathedral was finally completed in 1507. Seville Cathedral was built in a five-aisled cruciform church with chapels. The cathedral is 127 metres long, 83 meters wide and 43 meters high.
