Spain: Toledo, Montserrat, or Cordoba?

Unfortunately I only have enough time in Spain to go to 2 out of those 3 places. So, if you had to choose, which of those 2 would you visit?

I am someone who enjoys good food, architecture and interesting people.

Haven't been to either Toledo or Montserrat, but loved Cordoba. A day or two will do it, but it has one of the great architectural sights of the world: the Mezquita, or Great Mosque of Cordoba. Probably the highlight of our trip to Spain.

Cordoba and Toledo will certainly fit the bill but then Barcleona combined with Monserrat would give you architecture, good food, interesting people and natural wonder.

Montserrat is not a town, it is just an abbey. As others have said, it is absolutely no match for Toledo and Cordoba.

- Cordoba has the most impressive cathedral in Spain, a picturesque old town and a beautiful riverbank. Certainly a worthy destination - unless you intend to go there in July or August.

- Toledo is a beautiful city with lots of Jewish and Moorish heritage.

This is to explain the common sense here on this forum.
