22 beautiful issues to do in Córdoba, Spain

Listed here are just a few of the most effective issues to do in Córdoba, Spain, which I needed to share after my latest keep on this lovely metropolis of flowers. Lots of people solely go to Córdoba for the day, coming from different cities in Andalusia, which is a disgrace as a result of it’s price staying over and spending some correct time there. I spent over per week in Córdoba and favored having the time to get to know its whitewashed streets, putting structure and gardens of olive and orange bushes.

There’s lots to do in Córdoba over a protracted weekend, from strolling its medieval streets, discovering hidden alleyways lined with vibrant flowerpots, to getting into the breathtaking mosque-cathedral. Even for those who do solely keep in a single day, it’s price it to see the Roman bridge as nightfall falls, when the town begins to glitter. Córdoba is particularly magical in spring. Its attractive floral ‘patios’ (courtyard gardens) are at their most interesting and locals compete within the metropolis’s well-known annual flower pageant.

If this all sounds up your avenue, learn on for extra element on issues to do in Córdoba that I personally advocate…

Issues to do in Córdoba, Spain

1. See the breathtaking Mezquita Cathedral de Cordoba

As common readers will know, I’ve travelled a lot. And I believe Córdoba’s mosque-cathedral, the Mezquita, is without doubt one of the most unbelievable buildings I’ve ever seen.

If you happen to’re questioning what a mosque-cathedral is, effectively, it’s precisely what the identify would recommend: a hybrid between the 2 spiritual buildings. The columns and color of the mosque are set round a Renaissance-style cathedral within the center.

Guests to Andalusia are likely to go to Seville’s Alcazar and Granada’s Alhambra, and the Mezquita will get forgotten. I truthfully don’t know why. Going inside for the primary time and seeing these striped archways stretching forward of me is without doubt one of the most memorable journey experiences I’ve had. To not point out strolling into the central cathedral with its domed ceiling. Simply wow!

The mosque was in-built 785 when Córdoba was the capital of Al-Andalus. In 1236, the Christian monarchs took over and determined to put in their cathedral inside the mosque. Often, you’d count on them to have bulldozed it and constructed on prime. Nicely executed to them for not doing that.  

Throughout my week in Córdoba, I labored out that the greatest time to go to the Mezquita is late afternoon (except you’re visiting at a very quiet time of yr). By about 4.30pm, all of the tour teams and day trippers have packed off and it’s a lot quieter however the mild remains to be good for images. Visiting at night time when it’s all lit up is an actual deal with too, however do keep in mind that it’s more durable to {photograph} then. Test the official Mezquita web site for opening instances as these can fluctuate by season. Tickets are 13€ per particular person on the time of writing.

2. Go into all the attractive floral ‘patios’

I can’t resist backyard, and Córdoba is legendary for its ‘patios’. These are little courtyard gardens tucked away in individuals’s properties across the charming San Basilio neighbourhood. You wouldn’t know they had been there except you had been in search of them. Preserve a watch out for indicators exterior homes promoting that they’ve a patio open.

The patios are all completely attractive, with pots connected to the whitewashed partitions and piled up higgledy-piggledy on the stunning cobbled or tiled paths beneath. It’s magical entering into them. SO fairly.

If you happen to’re planning a go to in Could, it’s best to attempt to align it with the Fiesta de Los Patios. This annual floral competitors falls over the primary two weeks of Could and other people come from everywhere in the world to see the crops at their greatest. You would additionally sneakily time a go to for late April, once they nonetheless look nice however the crowds aren’t as unhealthy. However even for those who’re not coming in spring, you’ll love them (and it’ll be rather a lot quieter). I visited Córdoba in late autumn, so my images of the patios aren’t as vibrant as they might be in spring or summer season. However they had been nonetheless lush and many issues had been nonetheless in bloom, plus I had them to myself more often than not. 

You don’t have to pay to enter the patios, however some individuals (as they’re individuals’s personal properties/gardens) do have a donation field so it’s best to stick just a few euro in there as you permit.

If you happen to’re actually into pictures, you might e-book a personal tour to get the patios to your self. There are some respectable two-hour excursions of the patios, resembling this one for 18€ or this one for 17€. Get Your Information is what I at all times use; the rankings are fairly correct.

3. Stroll by the Jewish Quarter

The winding streets of Córdoba’s Jewish Quarter (La Juderia) are endlessly beguiling and excellent for getting a really feel for the town. You will discover them simply north-east of the Mezquita. Begin on the statue of Ben Maimónides (Google Maps location), a neighborhood Jewish scholar, and head up Calle de los Judíos.

Whereas exploring the Jewish Quarter, you’ll discover loads of the issues to do in Córdoba that I’ve included on this record. However earlier than you get caught into doing stuff, take the time simply to mooch and benefit from the vibes. You possibly can by no means have sufficient whitewashed buildings and plant pots.

4. Go to a standard Arabic tea home, Salon de Té, for a scrumptious lunch

Given Córdoba’s Moorish historical past, what might be extra becoming than going to a fantastic Arabic tea home?

Salon de Té was among the best locations I ate in Spain, and undoubtedly the most effective place in Córdoba. They do wonderful vegetarian choices like chickpea tagine, couscous, hummus, falafel and halva (to call just a few). I used to be useless satisfied to see a number of greens (particularly their scrumptious aubergine), seeds and nuts – a rarity in Spain (extra on that later). After all, you’ll be able to’t come to a tea home and never have Arabic tea (the mint one is spot on) with some dates and baklava. Excellent stuff.

The tea home is ready within the lovely and atmospheric courtyard of a Thirteenth-century constructing within the Jewish Quarter. Stuffed with fairly archways, vibrant tiling, tender lighting and trailing crops, it’s an ideal setting to flee the warmth of the day in.

5. Return in time on the Moorish home, Casa Andalusi

Apart from the fantastic Mezquita, Casa Andalusi is my favorite of all of the issues to do in Córdoba.

It’s a Moorish house-museum and courtyard backyard (patio), tucked away close to the synagogue. It transports you to a different world. As you go in, you’re met with the light sound of working water from the little water function in the midst of the patio, together with Islamic music enjoying and birdsong within the background. There are crops trailing down the partitions, the air is cooler and guests appear to know to talk in additional hushed tones. It’s a world away from the busy streets with vacationers tramping by them simply exterior.

One room within the museum has an exhibition on paper-making, as Córdoba in Moorish instances was a centre of studying so was producing plenty of the stuff. You possibly can see the instruments used for making the pulp, all over to a printing press. One other room has a group of previous cash, and down within the cellar you’ll discover an historic mosaic. My favorite factor in Casa Andalusi, although, is the tiled water function proven in my picture above. It’s full of floating flower heads and the sunshine above it adjustments color. A extremely attractive and tranquil spot.

The 4€ entrance price for the home additionally covers the neighbouring Alchemy Museum, which has view of the town from its rooftop. 

6. See the Roman Bridge (particularly at night time)

The Roman Bridge over the Guadalquivir River dates again to 1BC, which I believe we are able to all agree is kind of previous. It’s been reconstructed through the years, and now has some very fairly lights working alongside it. I’d advocate visiting it as nightfall falls, not just for the stunning scene as all of the lights come on throughout the bridge and into the town however as a result of it’s a lot quieter within the night. All of the tour buses and day trippers have passed by then. The bridge is pedestrianised and also you’ll discover numerous buskers and artists flogging their doubtful wares alongside it, however there are fewer at night time and the ambiance is altogether calmer.

Apparently, some scenes from Sport of Thrones had been shot on the Roman Bridge. I’ve not watched it so this truth was misplaced on me, however it’s not shocking that one thing so lovely has been used for filming.

The most effective view of the bridge is unquestionably on the other aspect of the river from the centre of city, and that’s the place I took the picture above. Stroll throughout and look again on the metropolis from exterior the Torre De Calahorra, which you can too go up for views of the bridge – however I don’t suppose they’re nearly as good as from the underside of the tower, TBH. Whilst you’re there, look out for many little wading birds poking about within the silt underneath the arches. I noticed a kingfisher whereas I used to be faffing about taking images, too.

7. Discover a number of the attention-grabbing statues dotted round

I at all times take pleasure in previous picture posing with a statue. Though Córdoba isn’t nearly as good as Zagreb or Bratislava for quirky ones, it does have just a few corkers.

My favorite might be this bronze lass studying the paper exterior Zara (Google Maps location). I did a little bit of analysis and located that she’s fairly a brand new one, arriving in 2016 to mark the seventy fifth anniversary of the Diario Córdoba newspaper. Her lap is kind of shiny from how many individuals have sat on her for a photograph.

There’s additionally the aforementioned certainly one of Ben Maimónides (Google Maps location), a neighborhood Jewish scholar, and an excellent certainly one of a girl watering some flower pots on the wall close to the patios space, referred to as La Regadora (the watering can) (Google Maps location).

8. Eat some conventional Córdoba meals

As common readers will know, Spanish meals may be very a lot not for me (and for those who’re not a daily reader, you’ll be able to examine my six-week Spanish meals nightmare in my 2022 roundup). Regardless of the coast round Andalusia, the delicacies there continues to go heavy on the standard ham/white bread/oil/cheese, so there’s nonetheless little I can eat. If you happen to do eat this stuff, although, you’ll most likely prefer it.

Listed here are just a few veggie issues to strive in Córdoba:

• Salmorejo – a standard Córdoba tomato soup. It’s thick, creamy and served chilly. Be sure to ask for it with out chopped-up bits of ham on prime. Typically you get a hard-boiled egg, although. Bonus.
• Ajoblanco – one other chilly soup made with garlic, almonds and bread. That is usually solely on the menus in summer season.
• Berenjenas con miel – deep-fried aubergine drizzled with molasses (or generally honey). It’s obtainable at loads of tapas bars and is normally the one factor I can eat. Fortunately it’s very nice, albeit undoubtedly the least wholesome strategy to method an aubergine!
• Alcachofas a la Montillana – artichokes cooked in native Montillana wine. That is scrumptious and never oily: most likely my favorite native dish.
• Pastel cordobés – a candy deal with from Córdoba, a puff pastry tart full of pumpkin/squash jam. 

You may as well have the well-known Andalusian breakfast. This isn’t a Córdoba-only factor: you may get it anyplace in Andalusia. But it surely’s one of many few conventional full meals that there’s a vegetarian model of (be sure there’s no ham added). It’s simply toast with tomato paste, salt and (normally a bucketful of) olive oil. It’s not likely what I need to eat within the morning, however I’d advocate making an attempt it even simply as soon as. It’s such an iconic Andalusian factor.

9. Benefit from the gardens on the Alcazar de los Reyes Cristianos

Alcázar de Los Reyes Cristianos, (Palace of the Christian Monarchs) is a 14th-century fort with terraced gardens. Don’t be delay by my underwhelming picture. I managed to go to throughout per week when the gardeners had been planting up all of the autumn/winter bedding crops, so it was all dug up and really a lot in a state of flux. If you happen to’re there at every other time of yr, it’s vibrant and bursting with flowers. However even after I visited, it was nonetheless lovely with all of the ponds and orange bushes. A stunning spot to wander by and benefit from the shade.

Contained in the palace itself is much less spectacular than the gardens, TBH. But it surely’s price getting into to see some mosaics and the views throughout the town from the watchtowers. I like the view from the opposite aspect too, over the interior courtyard stuffed with orange bushes. The odor is wonderful.

Tickets for the Alcázar value 5€ and can be found on the entrance. If you happen to’re visiting within the busy season and need to skip any potential queue, there’s a guided tour for 18€. That may even be good for anybody fascinated about listening to in regards to the historical past of the palace and gardens from a neighborhood.

High tip: If you happen to’re staying in a single day in Córdoba, attempt to go to the Noches Mágicas en el Alcázar. It’s a light-weight and water present within the Alcázar gardens. It’s very atmospheric and lasts an hour. You should buy tickets and discover out the instances on the entrance within the day.

10. Study Córdoba’s Jewish historical past at Casa de Sefarad

Casa de Sefarad is a small museum in regards to the Jewish historical past of Córdoba. It’s set in a fantastic previous constructing, similar to Casa Andalusi (though not fairly as magical, if I’m sincere), with a patio surrounded by a sequence of rooms you’ll be able to go into. They’ve exhibitions (with Engish translations) in regards to the Spanish Inquisition, well-known Córdoba Jews and home life (together with meals, garments and music). 

Córdoba’s Jewish group was persecuted and ultimately evicted throughout the Christian Monarchs’ interval, erasing centuries of Jewish tradition in Andalusia. The museum focuses on that misplaced tradition and on the historical past of Sepharad, the Hebrew identify for the Iberian Peninsula. It’s sensitively and apparently executed, and solely takes about half-hour to stroll round. It’s 4.5€ to enter.

11. Stroll down fairly Calleja de las Flores – among the best issues to do in Córdoba for photographers

Calleja de las Flores is, undoubtedly, the prettiest avenue in Córdoba. The slim, archway-filled alleyway is lined with vibrant blue flowerpots, overflowing with pelargoniums and dianthus. It completely frames a stunning view of the Mezquita.

I imply, simply have a look at it. No surprise there’s usually a queue of vacationers ready to get The Shot.

12. Eat and drink your approach round Mercado Victoria

There aren’t very many European cities that don’t have their very own hipster meals corridor nowadays. Córdoba’s is the sunshine and ethereal Mercado Victoria, a pleasant spot to whereas away just a few hours. It’s solely small however there are many various kinds of meals on provide, from sushi to pasta, so it’s not simply Spanish/Andalusian delicacies (which clearly makes me very completely happy!). There’s even a jacket potato stall, which was a brand new one on me.

The corridor has ambiance on a Friday night time, when locals head there for drinks and meals after work. Positively get a glass of native sherry.

13. Discover the patios within the Palacio de Viana

Simply while you thought you’d completed with patios, right here’s the Palacio de Viana. It is a fairly 14th-century stately residence with a whopping 12 patios to discover. Unsurprisingly, that’s the biggest patio assortment in Córdoba and is unquestionably price seeing. I visited on a really darkish and stormy day so didn’t get any good images for you, so please take my phrase for it that the flowers are attractive. 

The palace itself is pretty attention-grabbing if you wish to learn about how Andalusian the Aristocracy lived. However for those who’re extra fascinated about seeing the gardens like I used to be, then I’d simply purchase the ticket for these fairly than for the palace too. This prices 7€ versus 11€ for the total shebang, and you continue to get to stroll by just a few rooms simply to get exterior anyway.

Test opening instances on the official web site.

14. Undergo the Almodovar Gate

As you enter/go away the Jewish Quarter, you’ll stroll by the landmark 14th-century gate, Puerta Almodovar.

From inside the partitions, it’s simply an unexciting archway, however exterior it’s fairly lovely. There’s a stretch of the town partitions, full with a former moat (now a reasonably floral water function). On the other aspect of the trail, there are some whitewashed terraced homes, all with spectacular potted gardens exterior their entrance doorways.

Puerta Almodovar is the one metropolis gate nonetheless standing, out of an authentic 9. Look out for the bronze statue of Córdoba’s native thinker and playwright, Seneca the Youthful. His gory and miserable Roman tragedies had been mentioned to have influenced Shakespeare, so he was doing fairly effectively for himself. The poor chap then met an premature (you might say tragic) finish when he was ordered to kill himself after his enemies mentioned he was concerned in a plot to kill Emperor Nero. Cheerful stuff.

15. Discover the not-so-secret recipe on Calleja del Salmorejo

After I was researching issues to do in Córdoba, I saved discovering mentions of in search of the ‘secret alleyway’, Calleja del Salmorejo. Nicely, having stumbled throughout it on the primary stroll I had across the metropolis, even with out in search of it, I don’t suppose it’s precisely hidden. And with the variety of mentions of it on-line, it’s undoubtedly not a lot of a secret. Nonetheless, it’s an attention-grabbing spot and value conserving a watch out for.

Calleja del Salmorejo (Google Maps hyperlink) has the ‘official’ recipe for Salmorejo painted on some tiles on the wall. Salmorejo is, for those who keep in mind from the meals part I wrote additional up this information, the well-known chilly tomato soup of Córdoba.

If you wish to have a go at doing the soup your self, the recipe is useless easy. Whoever did the tiles didn’t even introduce it with a protracted and rambling story about its historical past and the primary time they tried it, in order that they’re clearly by no means going to make it as a recipe blogger. Right here it’s:

• 1kg of tomatoes
• 200g of bread
• 100g of additional virgin olive oil
• 1 clove of garlic
• 10g of salt
• Mix all collectively and prime with a chopped egg… and Iberian ham (or not).

Curiously, this conventional recipe doesn’t embody any vinegar, whereas most cooks say they do add a tablespoon of that. And it doesn’t point out that the bread needs to be going off (as in dry, not mouldy). Bon urge for food.

16. Deal with your self to some Córdoba souvenirs 

There are fairly just a few little impartial retailers the place you should purchase ceramics, followers, nougat, olive oil, wine and numerous different fine details which can be typical of Córdoba or Andalusia.

Listed here are just a few I like, with their Google Maps areas linked:

• Ostin Macho – for artwork prints, books, playing cards, tote luggage and all that jazz; my favorite store in Córdoba by far. That is precisely the form of store I can’t stroll previous with out getting into, irrespective of the place on the planet I’m.
• M&M Joyeria – there are plenty of jewelry retailers in Córdoba, however most of them are unaffordable for regular individuals. This one is gorgeous and has rather more delicate, on-trend and reasonably priced jewelry. The earrings are particularly stylish.
• LUQUE Gastrotienda – for beautiful hand-painted ceramics in addition to all types of foodie treats (their olive oil is the factor to take residence).
• Sabor a España – for scrumptious artisan sweets, together with their in style caramel grapes.

17. Squeeze by Calleja Pañuelo

One other attention-grabbing alley in Córdoba close by is Calleja Pañuelo (pañuelo that means ‘handkerchief’).

That is the narrowest avenue within the metropolis, mentioned to be the width of a woman’s handkerchief at its narrowest factors. I don’t know any women who use handkerchiefs, so I’m unsure how huge that needs to be however it’s fairly slim (apparently greater than your common Kleenex, although). 

It was wider however between Roman and Moorish rule, the town was in chaos and there was no native council to approve any planning permissions. Locals all went wild extending their homes willy-nilly, and Córdoba ended up shedding what needs to be public house. Whereas it should have been an city planning nightmare, it has made for some good quirky little options like this.

18. Go to Martina Cake for some candy treats

Martina Desserts is my favorite late afternoon spot for a cup of tea and a cake in Córdoba. Oh, and a milkshake.

I permit myself one milkshake per yr (in any other case I’d be uncontrolled) and my 2022 one was right here. It was a strong 10/10 and among the best I’ve ever had. Their Lotus Biscoff cheesecake can also be unbelievable.

In addition to good do-it-yourself desserts and milkshakes, this café can also be one of many few locations within the metropolis that does cup of tea in a correct mug. It’s additionally actually fairly inside, and all of the meals is introduced effectively. I saved that means to return for breakfast or lunch as their savoury meals appeared nice too (avocado on artisan bread and many others). There isn’t actually anyplace else like this in Córdoba, and I extremely advocate it.

19. Look out for lovely tiles exterior pharmacies

There are fairly tiles everywhere in the metropolis: a few of them depicting attention-grabbing stuff just like the soup recipe, others exhibiting gardeners tending to their patios. There are additionally superbly tiled indicators for eating places (Salon de Te has a beautiful one).

Among the most putting, although, are exterior just a few of the pharmacies. Close to the patios space, there are tiles promoting Farmacia Beatriz Ortega Montes, exhibiting a pharmacist utilizing a pestle and mortar on her counter. And simply by the Alcazar, look out for the spectacular Islamic-style tiles adorning the facade of Farmacia Botica (Google Maps location). That’s the most effective one.

20. Craft beers at CEPA Craftbeer & Wine

Spain isn’t actually recognized for its craft beer scene. Having travelled the size and breadth of the nation over six weeks lately, I did discover just a few craft beer bars however nowhere close to the extent of different in style European international locations, apart from within the capital of Madrid. So I wasn’t anticipating Córdoba to have someplace as spectacular as CEPA Craftbeer & Wine.

This beautiful little craft beer bar has an incredible number of Spanish and European beer. I had the nicest craft beer I attempted in Spain right here (a bitter from Basqueland Brewing, for those who’re ). CEPA even has cans from my all-time favorite brewery, The Backyard Brewery in Zagreb. Positively advocate. Oh and for those who’re not consuming, they do craft sodas in attention-grabbing flavours too.

21. Discover the Roman Temple

Close to Palacio de Corredera (the place the city corridor is), you’ll discover Córdoba’s small Roman Temple ruins (Google Maps hyperlink). There’s not a lot to see, however for those who’re strolling across the metropolis then chances are you’ll as effectively go previous it and take a look.

In the intervening time, it’s all fenced off and never restored a lot, past the columns being mounted. Some finds from the positioning are on show on the Archaeological Museum, however that’s about it. I believe they might do much more with it, so if anybody is aware of of any plans to open it to the general public, do go away a remark.

Look out for the close by statue of Claudio Marcelo, the founding father of Córdoba.

22. Do some day journeys from Córdoba by practice

Though many individuals solely do Córdoba as a day journey, there’s no motive you’ll be able to’t base your self there and do day journeys from it. I usually decide to remain someplace smaller and quieter (and cheaper!) in order that I can do the extra in style locations as day journeys.

Listed here are the three apparent ones which can be simply executed by practice from Córdoba’s railway station:

• Seville – round 50 minutes; the plain and best day journey. Seville is well-known for its grand structure, tiles and oranges.
• Malaga – round 1 hour; and I’ve a information to Malaga coming quickly. I’ll pop the hyperlink in right here as soon as it’s executed, or you’ll be able to join e-mail alerts from my homepage. Malaga is a little bit of an underrated metropolis break in Spain.
• Granada – 1 hour 45 minutes; that is simply on the sting of what’s acceptable for a day journey, IMO. Guests to Andalusia flock right here for the well-known Alhambra, an extremely spectacular Moorish palace.

There are additionally the attractive ‘pueblos blancos’ (white villages) within the space, that are recognized for being ‘hidden gems’ in Europe. These are more durable to succeed in by practice, so chances are you’ll want to rent a automobile if you wish to plan a vacation that features them.

What to not do in Córdoba, Spain

I believed I’d higher cease at 22 issues to do in Córdoba, or we’ll be right here all day. Hopefully it’s been a useful information for anybody planning a go to.

I simply needed to fit in three issues I wouldn’t advocate on the finish. 

• The Caballerizas Reales de Córdoba (Royal Stables) – Sadly, this was fairly an upsetting and disappointing expertise for me. I’m a lifelong equestrian/horse proprietor and I’m actually into dressage and classical using, so I went to go and see a efficiency right here. It’s meant to be classical just like the Spanish Driving Faculty of Vienna or the Portuguese Faculty of Equestrian Artwork, each of which I LOVE. Sadly, it was the other. Throughout the night efficiency, one ‘rider’ spurred his poor Andalusian a lot that she was bleeding from each flanks. I additionally went to see the morning coaching and he was there yanking a horse’s mouth out within the manege…. it was like he’d by no means used a double bridle earlier than. Among the different riders had been significantly better, however there have been too many using in excessive hyperflexion (rollkur) and too many tense, swishy horses. Grim.
• Going up the Calahorra Tower – By all means, go into this small museum if you wish to. However I didn’t suppose that the view from up the tower was any higher than the view from the tip of the bridge. If you happen to’re brief on time, this wouldn’t be a must-do for me.
• Solely visiting for a day journey – Like I’ve mentioned just a few instances on this information, it will be a disgrace to solely see Córdoba when it’s stuffed with different day trippers and tour buses. Town is so atmospheric at night time, and there’s undoubtedly sufficient to see over just a few days.

Issues to do in Córdoba, Spain – helpful data on your journey

The place to remain in Córdoba

Even for those who solely have one night time/day in Córdoba, you’ll need someplace good to remain. There are many choices, a lot of which I trawled by earlier than my go to lately.

All of those are good and central. Costs are appropriate on the time of writing.

• La Cúpula de Gran Capitán – I at all times keep in residences after I’m in Spain as I love to do self-catering (and keep away from the meals points!); it’s additionally good to have your personal house and never be tied to breakfast instances. That is the place I stayed throughout my November go to for over per week and it was PERFECT. Nicely-equipped kitchen, nice bathe, embellished superbly. It’s about 115€ an evening. Look how attractive it’s within the images beneath, too.
• Hospedería Baños Arabes de Córdoba Dos – If you happen to choose resorts, this beautiful spa lodge is just 85€ an evening. You get a beautiful double room and two hours of free spa entry. Bargainous,
• Resort Boutique Suite Generis – I believed I’d pop this severely swanky lodge in for anybody seeking to deal with themselves. If you wish to splash out, it’s about 195€ an evening. But it surely appears correct fashionable!

How you can get round Córdoba

Córdoba may be very walkable because it’s small and flat. You solely want the practice for day journeys out of the town, and the railway station to the centre is just a brief stroll if that’s the way you’re arriving. No want for taxis right here!

When to go to Córdoba

The plain reply right here is to go to in early Could for the fantastic Fiesta de Los Patios, as talked about earlier. Nonetheless, do keep in mind that that is when everybody else needs to go to, too. I’d advocate planning a tactical go to for late April, when the patios look nice however the crowds haven’t but descended. I really visited Córdoba in November, most likely one of many worst months for the flowers. However the climate was spot on (about 18 to twenty°) and it wasn’t busy in any respect. Like all of Europe, it’s greatest to keep away from the acute warmth and youngsters within the top of summer season (July/August) for those who can.
