Arab city and palace built in the 10th century under the reign of the Umayyad caliph, Abd al-Rahman III. It covers an area of 112 hectares, though only a tenth has been excavated.

Elements such as the entrance gates, mosque, dwellings, etc. are clearly visible. The most important structure is the Hall of Abd al-Rahman III. However it is currently closed to the public and restoration work will not be completed until 2011.

I recommend Madinat al-Zahra as another of the places to visit in Cordoba, alongside the Mezquita or the Juderia.

The site is a 30-minute drive west of Cordoba. There is a coach at 11am and at 4.30pm, returning an hour and a half later. Tickets must be bought in advance at tourist offices or online. I recommend the 'Cordoba Card' which includes an interesting guided tour.

A traditional bar that is still going strong and has resisted being turned into one of the omnipresent kebab joints or pseudo-chic spots that have become so popular in recent years. Probably the only place in Granada where you pay extra for the tapas, but well worth it: pickled aubergines, potato omelette or small rolls with an infinite variety of fillings, washed down with a glass of Jumilla wine from their vats.

It's in Joaquin Costa St., just off Plaza Nueva. Take your phrase book.
