Cordoba Arrival & Overview

Very pleasant almost two hour Renfe Avant regional train travel from Grenada to Cordoba. then we walked from the train station through a leafy park to our accommodation down a narrow cobbled street, just behind the internal gates and into our own patio. In the Juderia old neighbourhood just inside the old city walls.in the old town. First impressions: this is nice and not too many people!

Our host advised us to check in with him at the address next to our accommodation. We were a bit confused as it is a museum but it turns out he works the front desk. We got settled, went back outside the walls of the old city in search of some food supplies for the apartment. Always tricky shopping and being careful to buy just enough and not to much as we are only here for two days. After shopping, we bought a slice of pizza at the end of the street and came back to sit on the lovely inside courtyard patio which is very quiet. We are on a heavily touristed street and it seems all the tour groups come down it. The living room and bedroom windows face the street so you hear people talking constantly - mostly Spanish and French. As there is a window screen behind the usual wrought iron, you get a real sense of what it is like to live on such small narrow streets in Portugal and Italy and....its OK! Especially with modern windows it is almost soundless at night.Read more
