- Natalia B1 contributionCordobaTwo days are enough for Cordoba. Everything is good, cozy, comfortable, beautiful. Naturally, the antique part of the city and a combination of three religions and different eras. Fascinating with antiquity. A very clean city, which is not typical for Spain.Visited April 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten April 11, 2024
- BrakiWorldTravelerBelgrade, Serbia20,038 contributionsBig square for CordobaThis is something like Plaza Mayor in every Spanish town, but here is called different ?! It's little bit out of main tourist sites, however nothing is far in Cordoba. Square looks too big and somehow not fitting in old town. There was a market at one side, but nothing special.Visited July 2024Traveled with familyWritten August 6, 2024
- addtraveler10101Port Saint Lucie, Florida1,314 contributionsIf You Have Extra TimeI don't get the hype. It's ok. Go if you gave time to spare. But don't skip other great sights to come here. There are a few patio restaurants. We didn't see any museum or interesting shopping. I've read comparisons to Plaza Mayor in Madrid. It's not in the same category at all.Visited November 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten November 24, 2024

One cannot leave Cordoba without contemplating and enjoying this square either having an ice cream, a beer or eating in one of its many restaurants.
the only quadrangular main square in Andalusia, it is located in the center of the city. It has its entrance and exit through the so-called Arco Alto and Arco Bajo.
Among the buildings that shape the square, the Mercado de Sánchez Peña or the Casas de Doña Ana Jacinto stands out. The current market of Sánchez Peña served as a town hall as well as a prison.
I recommend visiting it in the late afternoon when the heat is not so intense and you can enjoy how its colors change as it gets dark.

A very large plaza in what is a very crowded old city of narrow streets of Cordoba. The multi storey four sides of the square seemed occupied by apartments which I found unusual expecting shops and stores of some description. In fact there seemed not too many shops save for café/restaurants with their many tables and chairs occupying parts of the plaza. A very attractive plaza with a lively young atmosphere at night making it ever better .

Arcaded houses surround this square, which dates back to 1683. Executions and bullfights took place here. There is also a 16th century market hall with a clock. When the weather is hot and sunny, you can walk around the square in the shade through the arcades.
Great photo opportunities!

This plaza reminded me of Plaza Mayor in Madrid in some ways. It’s a huge rectangular space, surrounded by 4 storied buildings. At ground level, the square is bordered on all four sides by a series of uniform arches and covered galleries or arcades in a faded red and yellow.
The shape is a clue to its past and bull fights used to be held here. There has been a lot of blood spilled in this plaza over the centuries. Like Plaza Mayor, the Inquisition held public trials and executions here. The large space was turned into a kind of sports stadium and crowds gathered to watch these gruesome spectacles.
Nowadays there are some bars and a market. At one end, you can see the Vivienda del Corregidor (Chief Magistrate’s House), built in the 1580s. The basement was used as a prison right up until 1821, then was sold and became a hats factory then a market. We strolled through mid-afternoon on the weekend but it was very quiet. A few groups were sitting quietly having a drink. There were a few market stalls selling antique-like odds and ends and some fun straw bags and hats and even straw bulls’ heads. However, it was much quieter than I’d expected. Perhaps we’d gone at the wrong time.

Plaza de la Corredera is a fairly large enclosed public square. Its history goes back a long time, well before the 15th century. At some point the local Town Hall was here and the area also served as a prison for a while! At one time there was even a hat making factory in one of the buildings. Today there are many different markets, including cafes and restaurants. It's quite a good place to go for a walk and some relaxing time.

Another pleasant plaza to wander to. Wouldn’t specially try to locate it but if you happen to arrive there, it is just nice to take a pause and enjoy the architecture. We were there in the early afternoon on a weekday in November and the plaza was pretty empty except for some diners. I suspect much busier during the summer. Enjoy.

My wife and I did a quick walk through of Plaza de la Corredera on our way to our reservation at a nearby restaurant during our trip to Spain this past November. It was the off season and the large square was nearly vacant when we walked through. We didn’t go back the next day because we had the Mezquita to tour.

Was there just before 1pm and it was pretty empty square with a few people. The fresh market to one side was more interesting but not all stores were opened.
Dont go there just to see this square - pop in for a quick look as you transit between more interesting sites.

I visited after lunch on a Saturday and the square was dead. There were table and chairs in the centre, but no cafés were open. The buildings looked like they were student accommodation. Maybe when the cafés are open and the square has some life in it, then it is more appealing. It struck me as a poor version of the large square near the university in Salamanca,

Restaurante Rafaelete, cerca de la Plaza de la corredera, esta justo enfrente de las ruinas romanas, en la plaza del ayuntamiento. Tiene carta y menú. Mejor reservar o ir pronto porque se llena.
Esta bien de precio
