Cordoba
Beside the river Guadalquivir, in a valley, we find Cordoba a city with a Roman past, which was the capital of the Ummayad Caliphate. It is organised with patio-houses and is a good example of contemporary architecture coming into contact with heritage legacy and whitewashed architecture, yielding a cohesive bond. In this town we can find works of architecture by Nieto-Sobejano, Paredes-Pedrosa, MECANOO and Alejandro de la Sota.
