Good to know about Córdoba

  • Orange blossom (azahar) blooms from late March to early April, and while the scent is intoxicating, the flowering only lasts about three weeks, leaving an ephemeral carpet of petals. Source
  • If you visit the May Crosses (late April - early May), seek out the 'enclosed space crosses' as they often feature the most elaborate floral arrangements, and always carry some cash for the impromptu neighborhood bars. Source
  • Córdoba's jacarandas bloom mainly between late April and early May with a brief and spectacular flowering, but note that the trees lose their leaves just before, making the purple color even more striking. Source
  • Tap water is drinkable, but many locals prefer bottled water due to its high chlorine and lime content taste, so don't be surprised if offered it. Source
  • While Christmas markets (December - early January) are city-wide, visit those on Paseo de la Victoria or Plaza de la Corredera on weekday mornings to avoid large crowds and find unique artisan crafts. Source
  • While tapas culture is strong, don't expect a 'free tapa' with your drink like in other parts of Andalusia; here it's more common to order tapas separately. Source

Romancebalanced · 46Why
