The Train, the Hotel and THAT View in Cordoba, Spain

Folks if you need to travel between cities in Spain I highly recommend taking the trains, operated by Renfe. They are efficient, clean and reasonable priced. The train ride from Madrid Atocha to Cordoba was under 2 hours (and that was a slow train LOL), costing 56 euros. 

 

Cordoba is easy to get around and after a quick 5 minute taxi ride from the train, we arrived at our hotel, the NH Hesperia. And what a wonderful hotel- not only was the staff welcoming and helpful, we were also treated to some drinks and pastries. 

What a wonderful welcome!

The Roman Bridge leading up to La Mezquita- our view from NH Hesperia

The décor was simple, yet stunning in true Andalusian style. And the view.. .OMG what a spectacular view- both day and night La Mezquita beckons to be photographed (and of course I obliged with much pleasure). The breakfast was also in true Andalusian style- my favourite was the variety of cheese and whole meal bread available as well as the freshly squeezed juices, hubby’s favourite was basically everything, but especially the almond and walnut milk. 

 

So folks if you want a great place to stay in Cordoba, with a great view  at a reasonable price Hotel Hesperia comes highly recommended by hubby and me!
