About Explore Córdoba
Explore Córdoba is an independent, English-language travel guide dedicated to helping international visitors get the most out of their time in Córdoba, Spain. We cover everything from the city's UNESCO-listed monuments and historic neighborhoods to local restaurants, traditional dishes, and practical travel tips.
Our mission
Córdoba is one of Andalusia's most remarkable cities — home to the Mezquita-Catedral, the Jewish Quarter, Medina Azahara, and some of the most beautiful flower-filled patios in Spain. Yet much of the best information about the city is written in Spanish or French. Our goal is to fill that gap: to give English-speaking travelers the depth of local knowledge they deserve, in their own language.
What we cover
We publish detailed guides on:
- Monuments & heritage sites — history, visiting hours, ticket prices, and tips for beating the crowds at the Mezquita, Alcázar, and beyond.
- Neighborhoods — character guides to La Judería, the Historic Centre, San Basilio, La Ribera, and more.
- Restaurants & bars — honest recommendations for where to eat flamenquín, salmorejo, and rabo de toro without the tourist-trap price tag.
- Activities — from flamenco shows and Arab bath experiences to cycling tours and day trips to Medina Azahara.
- Practical travel info — when to visit, how to get there, what to budget, and how to navigate the city like a local.
Independence & accuracy
Explore Córdoba is not affiliated with any official tourism authority, hotel group, or commercial operator. We write for travelers, not for advertisers. Opening hours, admission prices, and booking details change frequently — we do our best to keep information up to date, but always recommend verifying critical details directly with venues before your visit.
