The heart of the city is Guadalquivir river… I say its heart because the first settlement was always by this river, because of the fertile lands.. The most important structure on this river is Puente Romano, or Roman Bridge, which has been standing firm for 1000 years.. Although it stands on its original foundations, it has of course been renovated in all these years.. The view of this magnificent bridge is beautiful during the day and at night.. Especially the illumination of the historical city over the bridge looks delicious.. There are also 5-6 columns from the Roman period.. These columns are located at the exit of the Jewish Quarter.. But I can’t say that they are very impressive.
Behind this bridge is the Calahara museum where Andalusian Islamic artifacts are exhibited.. But frankly, I don’t have time to go inside.
There are 2 important places to eat in Cordoba.. The first alternative is the restaurants around La Mezquita, where you can find many options from Burger King to Mexican restaurant.. The other is Plaza Corredera. Plaza Corredera, a smaller version of Plaza Mayor in Madrid. Although I was walking around the side streets in the morning, I accidentally came to this place and was very impressed by it.. This square is a much more active area compared to the area where the mosque is located.. We prefer this square and sit in a restaurant.. Pork is sold on almost every corner.
Cordoba’s most famous dish is “ajo colorado, consisting of potatoes, peppers, onions and garlic. I prefer a dish named /strong>”. My friend, on the other hand, prefers Merluza, which is similar to whiting, which is also unique to this region.. We both snack on tapas in front and share on a plate a tomato-based soup called “Gazpacho“, served cold. We dive in.
The next morning, after breakfast at the hotel, we throw ourselves out again.. The thing that caught my attention at breakfast was that in a country that trusts itself so much about olives and olive oil, there is no olive at breakfast.. But of course, this is the case in many European countries.. There is a belief that olive is a food that appeals to the low SES group, but what a contradiction, it is served before dinner at dinner.

Today’s first trip to the tour is “Alcazar”, the second most magnificent work of Cordoba. We start from the palace named “de los Reyes Cristianos”. It means “Alcazar of the Christian monarchs” The rulers mentioned here are the couple Isabel of Castile and Ferdinand of Aragon. It was inspired by the Alcazar Palace in Seville, but it is not as big and impressive as it.
The Spaniards took care of the Andalusian scientists. We came across statues of many of them in Cordoba. However, in the history of Andalusia, they missed the periods of Muslim domination in this region.
