The Jewish Quarter is the most enchanting area in all of Córdoba. Countless alleys criss-cross one another. Lovely houses line the narrow streets, with flowerpots hanging from the balconies and beautiful Andalusian courtyards (if you're lucky, you'll be able to peek in through a half-open door). We recommend wandering through its streets and taking it all in. Don't leave without first:
- Walking along Calles Velazquez Bosco (which gives way to the famous Calleja de las Flores, or Flower Street), Céspedes and Hoguera.
- Walking to Puerta de Almodóvar (Almodóvar Gate).
- Passing by the Zoco and the Synagogue.
- Crossing the Puente Romano (Roman Bridge): from here you can admire the views of the city from the Guadalquivir River and see the Aran windmills that are still standing. On the other side of the river is Calahorra Tower (you don't need to go in).
- Circle the Mosque. If you're feeling a little hungry, you can always stop for beer and tapas in Bar Santos (on Calle Magistral González Francés, on the left side of the mosque). The "tortilla de patatas" (Spanish omelette) is famous (tapa: 1.50?, draft beer 1.50?).
