About Cordoba

Cordoba is a city with a population of 350,000 in the very heart of Andalusia, the southernmost region of Spain. Standing at the foothills of the Sierra Morena mountain range with the River Guadalquivir meandering gently past, Cordoba enjoys a warm sunny climate during most of the year.

There are superb connections to the closest international airports: you can get here from Madrid in under 2 hours, Seville in 40 minutes and Malaga in about 2 hours.

Echoes of the important historical role Cordoba has played over the centuries abound in the Roman, Visigoth, Moslem, Jewish and Christian remains found all over the city. For seven centuries Christian, Jewish and Moslem cultures flourished side by side and provided an exemplary model of tolerance and peaceful co-existence between different cultures and races.

The countryside around Cordoba, rich in olive groves and vineyards, is dotted with natural parks and the unforgettable white villages, which reflect the real essence of rural Andalusia.

Cordoba, well known for its history, its beauty and the friendliness of its people, was inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage List in 1984.

Special importance is given to the students' safety - Cordoba is in fact a medium-sized, safe city, and everywhere can be reached on foot - all of which makes our job much easier.
