Palma del Río
Córdoba · Spain
This town in Andalusia's Córdoba province where the River Genil meets the Guadalquivir, Palma del Río has a compact historic centre — declared a cultural heritage site in 2002 — with cafés, restaurants, and a cluster of monumental buildings including the Convent of Santa Clara, the Church of the Asunción, and the Portocarrero Palace. The old walled enclosure and Moorish castle-alcazaba reflect the town's Hispano-Muslim past, while the surrounding agricultural land is known for orange production.
