Afterwards, we will go to the hotel, where we will have time to check in and relax a little bit. After dinner, the instructors will prepare some fun group activities to end the day in style!

Day 2

After waking up, getting ready and having breakfast at the hotel, we will head to the Alcázar of the Christian Monarchs, a building that served as fortress for the Catholic Monarchs, where we will visit the different halls, ramparts and towers and we will end with a walk around its beautiful gardens. Afterwards, we will go to the Sotos de la Albolafia Park, next to the river, where we will look for a place to have lunch.

When we are done, we will go for a walk up to the Roman Bridge, cross over the river and go to the Calahorra Tower –a fortress of Islamic origin-. From there, we will go to the Andalusian House: a journey in time that will transport us to the times of the Caliphate.

Once we have finished the visit, we will go back to the hotel and, after dinner… we will go to enjoy a Flamenco show!

Day 3

Today we’d better have a hearty breakfast, because we are going on an excursion! Only 20 minutes from Córdoba is the Archaeological Site of Medina Azahara, an old city at the time of the caliph, where we can still admire some vestiges. In the morning, we will do a guided visit and once we are done, we will go to the Baños de Popea, an area with natural swimming-pools and waterfalls, where we will breathe some fresh air, have a swim and enjoy the awe-inspiring environment, between paths and cascades.

Once we have savoured every bit of this magical place, we will go back to the hotel, where we will have time to have a shower and have dinner.

And to finish the day… what activity will have the instructors for us today?

And to end the day, as usual, our team of instructors will be ready after dinner for a night-time activity, today we will have a TV contest!

From there, we will go to the Victoria Gardens and we will look for a place to have lunch.

With our batteries recharged, we will explore some of the typical patios of Córdoba, full of light, with white walls and filled with flowers that give them a lot of colour. Afterwards, we will have some free time to go shopping, buy some souvenirs or even have an ice–cream in the sun.
