Tapas Bars in Córdoba

Tapas bars are at the heart of Córdoba's social life. In these venues, the tradition of the "tapeo" — the art of moving from bar to bar sampling small plates — has been carried on for generations. In Córdoba, tapas bars stand out for their local specialities: salmorejo (cold tomato soup), flamenquín (breaded ham roll), and berenjenas fritas (fried aubergine with honey). The atmosphere is lively and bustling, with wooden counters where regulars crowd to order their tapa and a caña (small draught beer). Prices are generally modest (€2–4 per tapa), and some establishments still offer a free tapa with every drink, keeping alive a disappearing Andalusian tradition.
