This past weekend I traveled to Iznajar, which is approximately one hour and fifteen minutes from Cordoba. The drive was beautiful and I was able to see a lot of olive trees and snow-covered mountains. The vistas were nothing short of breathtaking. The village of Iznajar is pretty tiny and consists of a sea of small white houses. From the top of the village you can see the largest river in all of Andalusia. On my return trip to Cordoba I couldn’t resist the pull of the beach, so I turned around and headed to la playa for the day. I drove to Nijar, which was approximately two additional hours by car. The beach was absolutely spectacular! I had the opportunity to have lunch at a beautiful restaurant on the water. It was glorious to sit down and relax and hear the waves break. I would definitely suggest this spot, if you are looking to get away one weekend. The drive is totally manageable. Until my next trip…
