Plaza de la Corredera is Córdoba's only enclosed arcaded square — a 17th-century rectangle of red-brick arches that has served as a bullfight arena, a public execution ground, and a market. Today it hosts a Sunday antiques market and some of the city's better tapas bars under the arches. Hotels in this part of Centro sit in a more local, less tourist-dense neighbourhood than the Judería — the trade-off for the 10-minute walk to the Mezquita is cheaper restaurants and morning coffee without queues. Casa de los Azulejos on Calle Fernando Colón is 50 metres from the square, with a seasonal pool, original Sevillian azulejos, homemade breakfast, and free parking included from €72. Cats Hostel is 4 minutes away in a former monastery with a flowery patio from €15. Hospes Palacio del Bailío sits nearby with Roman ruins under the restaurant floor — Córdoba's most architecturally layered luxury hotel.
