I believe the answer is:

cava

'drink' is the definition.
(alcoholic drink)

'in both cordoba and valencia on vacation?' is the wordplay.
'in both cordoba' becomes 'ca' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'on vacation?' means to remove the middle letters (after the inside letters have vacated the word).
'valencia' with its centre removed is 'va'.
'ca'+'va'='CAVA'

'this' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cava that I've seen before include "Spanish bubbly" , "Spanish fizz" , "Spanish "champagne"" , "Sparkler" , "sparkling drink" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
