Rick's 22 Days in Spain does not include Cordoba. Is there a reason?
I'm sure he has one. If I were spending 3 weeks in Spain I would certainly plan to visit Cordoba even if for just an half-day to see the Mezquita. Its an easy stop on the Sevilla-Madrid AVE line. With 3 weeks I'd plan a night there.
Only have 2 weeks in Spain. Still a good stop?
Sure, we did it on a ten day trip.
Agree with all the above. If you're going between Madrid and Sevilla, it's a no-brainer, easy half-day stop that is absolutely worthwhile.
We prefered Cordoba over Seville and wished that we had stayed the night rather than just day tripped from Seville. Rick also does not include Valencia in HIS 22 Days in Spain and we thoroughly enjoyed that city. It's all personal choice and our pleasure may be your poison.
I was a little disappointed not to find it either ! did a day trip from seville to Cardoba on a 14 day trip to Spain and it was worth it ! Mezquita is a must see !
