Luxury car rental in Córdoba arrives through Zeus Prestige at your hotel in the historic centre, a country estate or a private villa, so the keys are in your hand before the first coffee. Rent or hire a sports car, a prestige saloon or a luxury SUV, then take inland Andalusia at your own pace. Exotic car rental in Córdoba suits the olive hills to the south, and luxury car hire in Córdoba suits the long valley road to Seville.
The Romans crossed the Guadalquivir here on a bridge of 16 arches, roughly 250 metres long, first raised in the early first century BC and heavily rebuilt in the 8th century. In the 780s Abd al-Rahman I ordered the Great Mosque, and in 929 Abd ar-Rahman III declared himself caliph, making Córdoba the capital of the caliphate. The mosque became a cathedral after the Christian conquest and carries a UNESCO listing from 1984. Just outside the city, on the slope of the Sierra Morena, lie the ruins of Medina Azahara, a 10th-century palace-city built by the same caliph.
Near the cathedral the Judería keeps its narrow lanes and a synagogue built in 1315. Every May, in the second and third weeks, the Festival de los Patios opens private courtyards full of flowers to visitors, a tradition with UNESCO recognition. Around 325,000 people live in Córdoba today, and lunch usually means salmorejo, the thick cold tomato soup of the city. Summers run hot, so the best driving happens in the morning and the evening.
Lower the roof for this short run west of the city. The road climbs gently into the foothills of the Sierra Morena, and the air carries the smell of warm stone and dry scrub. Medina Azahara appears on the slope, a palace-city that Abd ar-Rahman III built in the 10th century and that now holds a place on the World Heritage list. Walk the terraces and look back over the plain. The drive home with the low sun on the bonnet is the best half hour of the day.
Take a supercar or an exotic for this drive to the south-east. The road leaves the plain and rolls through olive groves in long, fast sweeps before tightening as the hills rise, and your palms dampen as the corners start to stack up. Priego is known as the City of the Water for its many springs, and its churches rank among the finest of Spanish Baroque. Stand at the Adarve, where the town ends at a cliff above a valley of olive trees. The engine ticks as it cools while you look out.
Pick a grand tourer for this valley run, or a roomy SUV with space for luggage. Follow the river valley west, where wide farmland rolls out on both sides and the road runs straight and smooth toward Seville. Inside, the seats are soft, the air is cool and the miles pass without effort. Stop wherever a village looks inviting, take a long lunch, and let the car carry you back at dusk.

Very hot. Spring and autumn are the most comfortable seasons for an open-top drive, and in midsummer the mornings and evenings are the best time to be on the road.
