The historic centre of Córdoba is a labyrinth of narrow, winding streets that reveal hidden plazas, whitewashed buildings, and vibrant flower-filled patios. Designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1994, it encompasses the Mezquita-Catedral, the Jewish Quarter (Judería), and numerous mansions and churches. Exploring on foot is essential, you'll discover charming courtyards, artisan shops, and tapas bars tucked away in alleyways. The annual Patio Festival in May showcases the city's tradition of decorating courtyards with flowers.
