What to Do in Córdoba?

Spain

Cordoba is one of those Spanish cities that has always fascinated me, much like Seville or Granada. Shaped by the three monotheistic religions, like all of Andalusia, I imagined it to be diverse, cheerful, and mysterious. I pictured in my mind the outlines of a skyline made up of bell towers and minarets, and envisioned streets that would have preserved their cultural heritage, blending Judaism and Islam, Islam and Christianity. What to do in Córdoba, the city where beauty bursts forth at every corner?

Córdoba is an Andalusian city, located in the province of the same name. It enjoys a unique environment along the Guadalquivir River and at the foot of the Sierra Nevada. Its 319,000 inhabitants live in this sublime city founded by the Romans.
 
Aside from its Roman heritage, Arab and Jewish cultures have also shaped the city, which is often nicknamed the city of the 3 cultures.
 
In the 10th century, this small city was the most powerful in Europe, rivaling Baghdad and Byzantium. Today, it is a destination that attracts tourists with its beauty and its 4 elements classified as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Cordoba is full of places to visit. Its rich history and incredible heritage make it a destination with a thousand treasures. However, let me help you with this selection of sites that you really shouldn’t miss.

1. The Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba

Since that book I opened in college, the Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba has always been on my list of monuments to see at least once in my life.
 
Remember to buy your ticket in advance! Tourists are very numerous wanting to admire the number 1 monument of the city.
 
Once inside, the eye must adjust to the decrease in light to enjoy its fantastic red and white arches. This ancient Roman temple turned church then mosque, in which a cathedral was erected, is listed as a World Heritage Site.
 
Traces of each of its different lives can be found: frescoes from the primitive church, horseshoe arches, mihrab…
 
The building is of such richness and beauty that both the eye and the camera cannot help but capture and capture it. A monument that must absolutely be at the top of your Things to do in Cordoba? list.

2. The Calleja de las Flores

A mandatory Instagram stop at Calleja de las Flores, a narrow street adorned with beautiful flower pots and leading to a charming little square.
 
I advise you to go there early in the morning to avoid a horde of tourists.

3. The Municipal Zoco

From Calleja de las Flores, you can go to the Municipal Zoco, a small courtyard where a few artisans sell their creations.
 
Many tourists come here to photograph the flower pots hanging on the walls, which are of a dazzling white. You may have to queue to take their portrait.

4. The Mudéjar Chapel of San Bartolomé

The Chapel of San Bartolomé is an old Mudéjar-style temple that was part of the Cardinal Salazar Hospital. If, like me, you love azulejos, you won’t be disappointed!

5. The medieval city wall

Cordoba is composed of two walls: the one of Cairuán Street, which surrounded the medina with its small ponds and canals, and the one of Marrubial, which was part of a fortified enclosure surrounding the Axerquía, the eastern area of the historic Cordovan quarter.

6. The Palacio de Viana

Built in the 14th century, this house belonged to the lords of Villaseca and is a must-see on your things to do in Cordoba list. The palace underwent several transformations over the centuries. These 12 magnificent patios are a sight to behold!
 
From one flower-filled courtyard to another, the ambiance is different: the flowers, the plants, their scents, the colors of the azulejos, the way the water flows from the fountains… A distinct atmosphere can be felt on each patio. This visit stimulates all the senses. Buy your tickets!

7. The Posada, Plaza del Potro and Triunfo de San Rafael

On Plaza del Potro, we find two important elements of Córdoba’s architecture: the Potro Fountain, which represents a small horse, and the Triunfo de San Rafael column.
 
Another monument that attracts tourists is the Posada del Potro. You enter this former brother through a small wooden embrasure. The patio opens up before our eyes, spacious and bright. From here, you can access the different rooms that make up the building. It is possible to go up to the second floor to visit the Flamenco Art Center Fosforito.

8. The Guadalquivir River, Roman Bridge, and Tower of Calahorra

If you visit Cordoba, you should cross its river, the Guadalquivir. To reach the other bank, you have to take the Roman Bridge. Tourists crowd on both sides.
 
The city is definitely awake. The Andalusian heat gradually reaches its peak as I reach the Calahorra Tower. This fortress of Islamic origin was designed to protect the Bridge, which was the entrance to the city.

9. The ALCAZAR DE LOS REYES CATÓLICOS

Another must-see site on your list of things to do in Cordoba:  the Alcázar! This fortress and palace was built on the orders of King Alfonso XI of Castile in 1328.
 
From the top of the tower, you will enjoy a lovely view of the square in front of the entrance to the monument and its gardens.
 
It is also under the shade of its green trees that I recommend you take a walk. Here and there, you can find remnants of Roman and Visigothic times.
 
The interior of the building can be visited, of course. The different rooms are arranged around charming courtyards.
Visit the Alcazar of Cordoba without waiting in line!

Moreover, it is the perfect time to observe the flowers and blooming trees that decorate the streets.
 
If you are concerned about the heat, you should definitely avoid the summer when high temperatures could spoil your visit.

How to Get to Cordoba?

It is possible to travel to Cordoba from any Spanish city. The necessary time will depend, of course, on the distance. This mode of transportation is ideal if you want to explore the city during a road trip in Andalusia. If you don’t have a car, check the rates of car rental companies!
 
You can also arrive in Cordoba by train from the main cities of the country, such as Madrid, Valencia, Barcelona, Seville, or Malaga.
 
Many bus companies can take you to Cordoba. For example, Avanzabus and Blablabus are among them.
 
Finally, if you want to come by plane, you will first need to land in Seville, Malaga, or Madrid, and then take another mode of transportation.

How to get around in Cordoba?

If you’re strategically located, you can visit tourist spots on foot. For environmental reasons and to avoid parking issues, it’s best to avoid using a car.
 
If you really need transportation, opt for the bus or taxi.

Where to stay in Cordoba?

As a tourist, you’ll love staying in the Judería neighborhood, with its charming narrow streets lined with white houses and blooming courtyards. Moreover, the main monuments are within reasonable walking distance, allowing you to explore Cordoba without any hassle.
 
If you don’t want to be in the heart of the tourist area and prefer a quieter place, but still within a good distance from the main attractions, the Centro moderno is an excellent option.

Being digital nomad in Cordoba

Cordoba isn’t really a popular destination for digital nomads. There isn’t a real community of remote workers, which can be an issue if you need to be surrounded by your peers.
 
However, if you’re looking for a different experience and a quiet Andalusian immersion, it’s a great destination. The city doesn’t have coliving spaces, but there are a handful of coworking spaces. Nonetheless, there’s no problem working from home since the Wi-Fi quality is good.

  • 💦HOW TO USE WATER RESPONSIBLY WHILE TRAVELING? As travelers, we have a huge responsibility for environmental protection. The best would be to stop traveling, but we all know it is not a realistic option😅 So instead, we really need to do our best and limit our impact. In many countries of the world, water scarcity is already a reality. It is quite scary. It is time to really do our best: 🚿Take Shorter Showers: This one is quite easy. Besides short showers, you can also turn off the tap while brushing your teeth. 💧Mindful Rinsing: When washing dishes or clothes while traveling, use a basin or sink filled with water rather than letting the tap run continuously. 🚰Choose Eco-Friendly Accommodations: Stay at accommodations committed to water conservation practices, such as using low-flow faucets and toilets. 💧Support Local Initiatives: Participate in local water conservation efforts or support businesses that prioritize sustainable water usage. 🌊Replenish, Don't Waste: Be mindful of water scarcity in the regions you visit, and only use what you need, whether it's for drinking, bathing, or washing.

  • 👩🏾‍💻ARE YOU THINKING OF BECOMING A DIGITAL NOMAD? Working and traveling at the same time is a dream for many of us, and I can assure you that it is an amazing lifestyle✨️ However, it is not for everyone. Check if you have these 4 essential qualities to embark on the digital nomad journey 🌐 ✅️Discipline. This one is a huge one. When you travel, you want to know everything about the destination where you are. You want to visit sites and spend time with the people you meet on the way. But, if you need to work 30 – 40 hours a week, you won’t be able to do it. So, you will need to be disciplined enough to avoid distraction and put yourself at work. ✅️Flexibility. Bad things happen when you travel. Your bus can be canceled, or your Wi-Fi can be down. It means you will need to change your plans, and it can affect your work. So, you need to be flexible and find a way to make things work. ✅️Quick-learning. While traveling, you need to learn many things: languages, how to get the bus, where to buy a sim card… Everything is new to you, but at the same time, you don’t have many months to learn how your new place works.  ✅️Ability to market yourself. It is true for digital nomads but also for any freelancer. You need to know how to sell your services and how to build a good online presence to get regular clients.

Find out my tips to kickstart your digital nomad journey✨️ ⭐️Skill Up and Go Remote: If you haven’t already had a job that allows you to work remotely, you need to learn skills that will give you this power, it can be digital marketing, language teaching, or programming. ⭐️Build an Online Presence: Establishing a strong online presence is crucial. You can, for instance, create a professional LinkedIn profile, or start a portfolio website. It will help potential employers or clients find you. ⭐️Explore Remote Job Platforms: Leverage remote job platforms tailored to your skills and interests, like FlexJobs, and Upwork, that offer a plethora of remote opportunities. ⭐️Financial Planning: Plan your finances strategically. Consider creating an emergency fund, as irregular income can be a part of the digital nomad lifestyle. Research cost-effective destinations for your travels, and be mindful of local currencies and living expenses. ⭐️Network and Join Communities: Connect with fellow digital nomads and remote professionals through online communities, and social media groups. Platforms like Nomad List, or Instagram can help you find like-minded individuals. Networking can also lead to job opportunities and collaborations.

  • ✨️NOVEMBER RECAP✨️ It has been a tough month. Many health issues prevented me from enjoying my time and focusing on my work. But I had no other choice than to deal with it. From a thwarted holiday plan in Huatulco to navigating medical challenges in Oaxaca, it was a journey of resilience and self-care. But today, it is December, and I am perfectly fine, and ready to enjoy Oaxaca and make the most of my last month here. Here are some highlights of this month: As a digital nomad: 👩🏾‍💻I started to diversify my income. Let’s see if I actually see results in 6 months. 👩🏾‍💻I changed my routine again to adapt it better to my life in Oaxaca. Adapting your routine when necessary is key if you are a remote worker. On a personnel level: 👩🏾 As much as I adore the digital nomad lifestyle, the adventurer in me is itching for more! So I plan to travel differently in 2024, a blend of routine to get my work done and not lose my sanity, and adventure to let space to the crazy Audrey. 👩🏾I am having the best time enjoying the Oaxacan cuisine. 👩🏾I am really enjoying having friends in Oaxaca and sharing great moments. How did November treat you? #solofemaletraveler #girlswhotravelsolo #womenwhowander #womentravelsolo #solofemaletravelers #solotravelgirl #travelgirl #girlsaroundtheworld #digitalnomadism #digitalnomad #digitalnomads #digitalnomadlife #digitalnomadtips #digitalnomadgirls #digitalnomadwomen #slowlife #slowtravelling #slowtravel

Responsible travel in Córdoba

Impossible to visit Cordoba without doing it responsibly. This applies to any destination as well. So, remember to adopt essential eco-friendly gestures. Here are some examples:
  • Use water consciously (drought is a real issue in Spain).
  • Limit your AC use
  • Choose accommodation that has implemented eco-friendly measures.
  • Eat at restaurants that use seasonal products.
  • Move around as much as possible on foot.
  • Sort your waste according to local standards.
  • Shop at local markets.
  • Support small businesses rather than chains.
  • Do not feed the animals you see in the streets or parks.

Traveling as a POC in Córdoba

It’s important to emphasize that each experience is different. I can only speak for myself, of course. I spent 4 days in Cordoba and everything went extremely well. No stares, no reflections.
 
Visiting Cordoba is falling in love with it. Its people, its beauty, its warmth, its smells, its gastronomy… Many will tell you that besides the Mosque-Cathedral, nothing is interesting to see. That’s false. It’s one of the most beautiful cities in Spain for me.
 
I hope this article will help you prepare for your next getaway and get the perfect What to do in Cordoba list. If you found it useful, share it on Pinterest!
