CórdobavsGranada
Can't decide between Córdoba and Granada? Compare these two amazing destinations to find your perfect match.
Córdoba
Córdoba was once the most advanced city in Western Europe, capital of Moorish Spain. The Mezquita—a mosque-turned-cathedral with endless candy-cane arches—is one of the world's most stunning buildings. Whitewashed patios, Jewish heritage, and fewer tourists than Seville complete the picture.
Known for
Granada
Granada is the crown jewel of Andalusia, home to the legendary Alhambra palace rising against the snow-capped Sierra Nevada. This former Moorish capital offers flamenco in cave venues, free tapas culture, and layers of Islamic, Jewish, and Christian heritage.
