The historical center of Cordoba

Cordoba is truly impressive with its beautiful and the picturesque old city center, just an ideal place to take a walk and enjoy the local atmosphere. An area which we desire to explore on foot.


The medieval quarter of the former Jewish community La Juderia is a maze of narrow winding streets, artisan shops, white houses full of flowers, beautiful patios illuminated by the sun. This area gives a better view about the city and its history.


Most of the souvenirs here represent motifs from the rich decoration in the cathedral. These elements inspired local artists which included them in their collection.





Puerta del Almodovar takes us into the narrow streets of the Jewish quarter.



Walking along the narrow streets we found a little courtyard of local ceramic and jewelry artists.



El Zoco- small workshops around a patio




Very interesting area. The historical center of Cordoba is peaceful, old and fine, just surrounds the small square of the Great Mosque.






  Calleja de las flores. 

 


Plaza del Porto





Wandering and getting lost here but every time we discovered something new.






Just a wonderful maze of streets small churches, family hotels, typical restaurants and museums, an amazing place to get lost in.



2000 years old remains of the Roman Temple.
 

 
 

Museo de arte taurino
 


We cannot miss to try the local cuisine in one of the many restaurants at Plaza de la Corredera, offering a tremendous choice of local meals and many tapas bars.



Definitely the best place to get a glass of wine and enjoy the local atmosphere.
 
 

We decide to randomly stroll here and always find something interesting to enjoy here.
  


Another attractions is the bridge El Puente Romano built by the Romans built.



Close to the River Guadalquivir is the massive structure of Puerta del Puente.


Cordoba is just great and makes us feel welcome everywhere we go. It gives us a great pleasure just visiting this memorable city.
