We are a young team that left Spain in 2009 and we are in London to create this beautiful project. At the request of our "walkers" we grew up in Paris, Dublin, Berlin, Malaga, Cordoba and Budapest, teaching these cities to thousands of Spanish speakers. We are professional guides and we are madly in love with every corner of the cities we teach.
Do you want to know every detail of one of the most important medieval cities in history? During our walk you will understand why its founder, the Cordoba Umayyad Caliph Abderramán III, gave it the name “The Bright City” .
The archaeological site was ordered to be built in the year 936 as a royal residence and seat of the government of Al-Andalus . Currently, it is considered a World Heritage Site and one of the most relevant and representative monuments in the history of medieval Europe.
On this guided tour of Medina Azahara we will walk through the streets that once hosted the old Arab civil and military administration.
We will also travel in time to get lost among its ruins, corridors, rooms of guardians and servants, mosques, towers and royal halls, the pool and the great portico, and imagine what life was like in that majestic palace. In addition, you will have the opportunity to immerse yourself even more in its history, visiting the Medina Azahara Interpretation Center.
