Pedro Del Pozo
Pedro Del Pozo has spent seven years eating through Córdoba's tabernas and tracking the Montilla-Moriles wine routes across the province. He has written extensively on Córdoba's traditional dishes — salmorejo, flamenquín, rabo de toro — and the bars and restaurants that serve them to locals rather than tourists. His coverage spans the Judería's hidden tabernas, the bodegas of the Montilla-Moriles DO, and the city's evolving tapas culture. He knows which bar still serves salmorejo from a clay pot, where to find the best berenjenas con miel, and which restaurants have earned their reputation versus those coasting on location. His work digs into the gap between what tourists are served and what locals actually order, with honest reviews of Córdoba's dining scene.
