What this is
The sight pages tell you what a place is and whether it is worth your time. They are not the right shape for the questions that cut across them — how to time a visit around the heat, what the free window at the Mezquita really gets you, how to reach a ruin eight kilometres out of town.
Those go here. New pieces are published three times a week, and each one is researched, drafted and checked the same way as the rest of the site.
Coming next
The queue, in roughly the order it will be worked through.
- How to see the Mezquita without the crowd, and what the free window actually gets you
- Getting to Medina Azahara: the shuttle, the museum, and how long it really takes
- The patios outside May — which stay open, and what you miss
- Salmorejo, and why Córdoba serves its soup cold
- Walking the old city in August without hating it
- The Roman layer: what is under the museum, the city hall and the bridge
Córdoba, in the meantime
While the journal fills up, the finished parts of the site are the twenty sight pages, the itineraries and the day trips.
