Immerse yourself in the authentic neighbourhood life of Córdoba's traditional bars, the locals' favourite haunts.
Córdoba's traditional bars — known as tabernas or bares de barrio — are heirs to a centuries-old tradition of local conviviality. These establishments are characterised by their old-fashioned décor (azulejos, wooden counters, wine barrels), their regular clientele and their distinctive soundscape (animated conversation, clinking crockery). They serve classic tapas, fino by the glass and draught beers at modest prices (€1.50–3). The atmosphere is authentic and relatively untouristy, with flexible hours and a mostly local crowd. These bars can be found in every neighbourhood but especially in the historic centre and around the Plaza de la Corredera. This category is developing — in the meantime, explore our tapas bars, which include several genuinely authentic traditional addresses.
