Why visit Cordoba?
Because Cordoba is one of the jewels of Andalusia that everyone should know. Birthplace of three of the most important philosophers in history (the Roman Seneca, the Muslim Averroes and the Jewish Maimonides) and of illustrious poets (Lucan, Ibn Hazm, Juan de Mena, Luis de Góngora and the Duke of Rivas), this city has an unparalleled historical and artistic heritage.
Within its old town (declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO) highlights the Mosque-Cathedral, the best example in Spain of Hispano-Muslim Umayyad art. Very important is, of course, the archaeological site of the city of Medina Azahara, built by Abderraman III about 8 kilometers west of Cordoba.
This capital also offers the possibility of visiting the Fernandine Churches, the Guadalquivir Mills, the Roman Wall, the Triumphs of San Rafael, the Island of Sculptures and its Roman Bridge, one of the symbols of the city.
The gastronomy of Cordoba is very influenced by the Muslim culture, especially in the use of spices and aromatic herbs. If you visit the capital, do not forget to try the salmorejo, flamenquines, oxtail and lamb with honey. For dessert, sweeten yourself with the Pastel Cordobés.

Driving in Cycling Territory
The popularity of healthy lifestyle habits has increased the number of people taking to the streets on their bicycles. Cordoba is no exception and that is why from Furauto we want to warn drivers to take special care when they meet a cyclist on their way.
Respecting the traffic rules is everyone's business and both those who go by car or van or those who choose the bike must always and at all times avoid making sudden and unpredictable maneuvers that can lead to accidents. Being attentive to what is happening around us and always pay attention to what traffic lights and traffic signs indicate is vital for our safety.
