School trip to Córdoba

This school trip to Córdoba offers your students a structured and accessible way to explore one of Spain’s most significant historical centres. Córdoba reveals layers of Islamic, Jewish and Christian heritage through its buildings, narrow streets and fortified spaces. The Mosque–Cathedral, with its forest of columns, and the streets of the Jewish Quarter allow students to observe directly how cultural influences shaped daily life in medieval Andalusia.

Across four days, the programme connects key historical sites with clear educational value. Medina Azahara introduces the political organisation of the 10th-century Caliphate, while Almodóvar Castle helps students understand medieval defence systems in a very visual way. Smaller sites such as Casa Sefarad and the Chapel of Saint Bartholomew highlight everyday cultural and religious practices within the Jewish community.

The final gastronomy workshop allows students to prepare regional dishes such as salmorejo and paella, transforming local food traditions into a practical learning experience. With a balance of guided visits, hands-on activities and opportunities for observation, this itinerary supports meaningful learning within educational trips to Spain.
