Walk through Córdoba’s historic centre, beginning at the Mosque-Cathedral Monumental Site and continuing through the Patio de los Naranjos to the Puerta del Puente. Cross toward the Torre de la Calahorra - Museo Vivo de Al-Ándalus, then finish with the intimate character of the Patios Cordobeses. Along the way, notice how monumental buildings, gardens, gateways and traditional whitewashed spaces shape the walk. This is a rewarding route for seeing Córdoba through its historic forms and carefully tended courtyards.

How a walk works

The guide starts talking when you arrive.

This page is the map and the itinerary. The app is the guide who walks it with you.

  1. Pick a walk

    Every stop is a real place, already in walking order.

  2. Pocket your phone

    Follow the line on the live map, or download the walk before you lose signal.

  3. Listen as you arrive

    On a narrated walk the story starts on its own at each stop, so your eyes stay on the place.

    Stop for lunch, come back tomorrow, and the walk is exactly where you left it.
