The best of Córdoba: from the Corredera to the patios

If you only have one morning, this is your route. It starts in the great arcaded square of the Corredera, peeks into the city’s most photographed lane, enters the Mosque’s Courtyard of the Orange Trees, crosses the Guadalquivir on the Roman Bridge and ends among the flowerpots of the San Basilio quarter. Monuments, neighbourhood life and the best views, all on foot and without doubling back.
