Cordoba is beautiful and the mosque is pretty cheap to get into to. The side streets in the Jewish quarter are so beutiful. Granada is also beautiful. Grananda has more of a modern feel to it with clubs and an active nightlife. When I visited Cordoba it was pretty calm and not that many young people. If you want to hit Granada be sure to visit Al Hambra (s/p) and go to the overlook of the city. Personally I like Cordoba the best. The mosque, bridge, river and buildings are all beautiful.

I vote Grenada. The Alhambra looming above the Old Town is cool looking, the city seems relaxed and friendly, and for cool scenery, you've got the Alpujarra Mountains just south of you. Of course, I didn't go to Cordoba, so my opinion is biased.

Thanks guys....But I am not sure who to trust. They both sound beautiful, but it seems that Granada is the best bet. Thanks for the advice
