Come to Cordoba, the City of Flowers

Cordoba is an ancient city in the south of Spain, the former Moorish capital. It's a virtual maze of winding streets, modern and antique merchandise, dotted by colorful coffee shops, which, at night, move to the spontaneous beat of flamenco dancing. Here visitors can find the Calleja de las Flores, the street of flowers!
