Getting there
Planes, trains, automobiles, or maybe even helicopter – we tell you the best way to go.
- Planes
- Seville and Malaga have the closest airports, both about two hours away by car and both hosting regular flights to/from Luton, Gatwick and Stansted. Easyjet is the most prolific airline if you’re coming from the UK.
- Trains
- The Renfe’s high-speed AVE trains link Córdoba to Madrid (under two hours) and Malaga (under an hour) and to Seville in an amazing 25 minutes. The train station’s to the north of the city, just off the Avenida de América – bus number 3 ferries you between there and the historic centre.
- Automobiles
- Córdoba’s streets are made for walking, and you couldn’t even fit a car in the winding thoroughfares of the Jewish quarter, but if you want to explore the province and the nearby towns, you should rent one. Alternatively, hire a GPS-equipped electric buggy from www.blobject.es – they’re small enough to squeeze into the tightest spaces.
