Calleja de las Flores

A dead-end lane hung with pots, framing the cathedral tower at the end.

Worth knowing⚠️ It is one short lane, and it is always busy

The lane is short and narrow and opens into a tiny square. The walls carry blue pots of geraniums, and the view back out of the lane frames the cathedral tower between the walls — which is the photograph everybody is here to take.

⚠️ Be honest about it: this is the most photographed lane in Córdoba and it is rarely quiet. It is still worth the two minutes, and it is free.

⭐ The surrounding lanes carry the same pots with a fraction of the people. If you want the look without the queue, walk one street over.

Our tip

First thing in the morning is the only time you will have it to yourself.
