CORDOBA - GETTING AROUND

Córdoba is ideal for those who like to eat well, explore on foot, and dive into old bodegas and relish architectural wonders. The medieval city is immediately north of the Río Guadalquivir, with a warren of narrow streets surrounding the Mezquita. Within the medieval city, the area northwest of the Mezquita was known as the Judería, the Muslim quarter was north and east of the Mezquita, and the Mozarabic (Christian) quarter was further to the northeast. The main square of Córdoba is Plaza de las Tendillas, with the main shopping streets to the plaza`s north and west.

For drivers, Córdoba`s one-way system is nightmarish, but routes to many hotels and hostales are fairly well signposted with a `P` if they have parking. Hotels charge about €10 to €12 per day for parking.
