Among its main attractions are the impressive Mezquita-Catedral, the historic Roman Bridge, and the majestic Alcázar de los Reyes Católicos.
The magazine also highlights the charm of the streets of the Jewish Quarter, adorned with geraniums on their windows, and the emblematic Plaza de la Corredera, an ideal place for social gatherings. Furthermore, special mention is made of the Córdoba Patios festival in May, an event that transforms the city into a floral spectacle.
