> Three days in Seville bring the city, the ancient world and Córdoba. The first two days cover the cathedral and Giralda, the Alcázar, Plaza de España, Roman Italica and sunset on Metropol Parasol. On day three, the AVE takes 45 minutes to Córdoba and its Mezquita, the former Great Mosque with a forest of columns and a cathedral inside, followed by the Roman bridge and the Jewish quarter.

## How the three days work

Day one is Seville's old centre: the cathedral, Giralda, Archive of the Indies, Alcázar and Plaza de España. Day two is Italica in the morning and Metropol Parasol in the evening.

Day three is Córdoba. Take an early train from Santa Justa to reach the Mezquita at opening time. Afterwards, wander the whitewashed lanes of the Jewish quarter, have salmorejo for lunch and watch the sunset from the Roman bridge before an evening train back.

Remove any stop with the cross or drag it with ≡, add something nearby, and the timings update.

## Where to eat

In Seville, tapas in Santa Cruz, around the market under Metropol Parasol and in Triana. In Córdoba, try salmorejo, the thick cold tomato soup that comes from here. Taverns around the Mezquita also serve fried aubergine with honey and local wines.

Spain lunches from 2pm and dines after 9pm, so in Córdoba have lunch between the Mezquita and your walk, and dinner back in Seville.

## Tips for three days

Book the Córdoba train ahead, as morning services fill up in high season. Buy the Mezquita ticket online too; the bell tower climb is sold separately in timed slots.

In summer Córdoba and Seville are Spain's hottest cities. Walk in the morning and evening and spend midday in cathedrals, palaces and museums. Cover shoulders and knees in churches.

## If you have more time

With time to spare, explore Triana's ceramic workshops in Seville, or visit the Alcázar of the Christian Monarchs, with its gardens and ponds, in Córdoba.

## Tips

- Book the Córdoba train ahead.
- Mezquita at opening time.
- Sunset on the Roman bridge.
- Churches require covered shoulders and knees and no beachwear; walking around town in swimwear is not allowed.
- Spain uses the euro. Cards and contactless are accepted almost everywhere. Book the Sagrada Família, Park Güell and the Gaudí houses ahead on their official sites, which list entry times and closing days.
