Where to stay in Cordoba

To experience the heart of Cordoba's old-world charm, the famous Jewish Quarter, or Judería, offers an array of family-owned pensions and boutique hotels with close proximity to the city's main attractions and lively tapas culture. A number of newer hotels surround the local train and bus stations offering more spacious accomodations, although removed from the city's historical district. Above all, be sure to book a hotel equipped with air conditioning as Cordoba is famous for its scorching tempuratures during the late spring and summer.

Beautiful at dusk or in the late evening when everyone has left...during the day it loses some of its character for me. more »

I went at night and found it to be quite peaceful and humbling. Best to go as a couple or group. Light a candle and reflect. more »

This is rather an alley than a plaza but in the middle there is this interesting cross with a church opposite to it. more »

소박한 공터에 외롭게 자리한 그리스도의 상 : 그리스도를 둘러싼 8개의 등불이 밤이 되면 은은한 조명으로 빛난다. 해질 녁이 어울리는 예수상이다.
