The 3 main Moorish cities of Andalucia are Granada, Cordoba and Sevilla. All are unique to visit and offer different cultural experiences.
GRANADA
A

Granada, famous for the Alhambra, Moorish architecture, the Albaicin
and Sacromento gypsy quarters, flamenco dancing and Moorish baths. If
you wish to know more about the city and what you would like to

CORDOBA
Cordoba
boasts a rich historical background with many treasures to visit
including the grand mosque of Cordoba (La Mezquita), the historic
quarter including La Juderia (Jewish quarter), museums and the
wonderful May festival of the patios. The wealth of treasures has now
meant that Cordoba has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage city and
is a nominee for the 2016 European City of Culture. Cordoba is a
small city and most attractions are within walking distance in the
city centre. If you would like to know more about Cordoba visit

SEVILLE
Easily
reached from Casa La Nuez by AVE train direct from Puente Genil
station within one hour, Seville is a gem of a city, with a wide
variety of Moorish palaces, cathedrals and churches, museums and
gardens, Seville is a must for an Andalucian holiday.
Other touristic attractions
Next to the three big cities a visit to Priego de Cordoba goes without saying. Starting from Casa La Nuez you reach this somewhat smaller gem in fifteen minutes. It is considered to be among the ten most beautiful cities in Spain.
And you should not forget Antequerra. After an hours drive you reach this ancient Moorish fortress with its historic castle. Though less intact than the Alhambra in Granada, those interested in Moorish history in the south of Spain will be delighted after a visit.
Like to walk? Then go to Caminito del Rey. Since being inaugurated in April 2015 this spectacular trail through the famous gorge near Alora quickly became an absolute top attraction.
