Stroll through the Jewish Quarter
The north door of the Mosque brings you onto Calle Judíos. From there, the Synagogue is one minute away, the Calleja de las Flores two, and the Puerta de Almodóvar five. You do not need a map. Just let the narrow streets guide you. The Jewish Quarter is best explored without a plan.
Arab baths
We are a three-minute walk from the Mosque, on Calle Almanzor. After an hour and a half on your feet among the 856 columns, putting your feet in hot water is exactly what your body asks for. Two hours of pools, steam, flotation and, if you wish, a massage. You leave refreshed for dinner. Open from 10:00 to midnight.
Eat or have a drink
The Jewish Quarter has restaurants with courtyards where you can sit down with a salmorejo and a fino from Montilla. No need to go far. Within thirty metres of the Mosque there are good options. If you prefer somewhere quieter, walk a couple of streets towards Almanzor — fewer people, equally good food.
Alcázar de los Reyes Cristianos
It is five minutes south. The gardens are spacious, with fountains and ponds. A good counterpoint to the Mosque: open space, fresh air, shade. If you are visiting with children, the peacocks in the garden will keep them entertained.
Roman Bridge at sunset
If you leave the Mosque in the late afternoon, walk to the Roman Bridge. The sun setting behind the Mosque, with the river below and the Torre de la Calahorra in front, is one of those images that justify the trip. Fifteen minutes of quiet strolling.
A complete afternoon plan
Mosque → stroll through the Jewish Quarter → Arab baths at five or six → dinner in the neighbourhood → Roman Bridge at night. It is the most complete afternoon plan we know in Córdoba. And everything fits within a five-minute walking radius.
