Tatianna Córdoba has taken Broadway by storm and has no plans for stopping. This past Sunday, she opened Real Women Have Curves to rave reviews and we caught up with her to chat about her incredible Broadway debut
To get to celebrate all of our hard work together as a cast was such a joyous experience
what was your reaction the first time you read the script
The first time I read the script I felt so seen and knew I had to be a part of it in some capacity
It’s rare you get to play yourself onstage and the storytelling felt so authentic
What does it mean that your Broadway debut is with this show
All I ever wanted was to be able to be a voice or face for little girls like me who didn’t see themselves or their community represented onstage
what do you want to remember most about the show and this experience right now
I want to remember all my moments with the cast
We have truly become a family during this process and have formed bonds that are forever
All of our laughs and memories are what I’ll always hold on to

the rising star of 'Real Women Have Curves' on BroadwayThis interview is part of our New York Talent Guide series
which spotlights rising and undersung Broadway stars whom theatregoers shouldn't miss on stage
Raised in California's Bay Area ("510
Córdoba has always been steeped in the arts
She's spent most of her professional career on the East Coast
a fact her Real Women Have Curves character
Ana is an 18-year-old Mexican American figuring out how to both please her family
who want her to work for their dress factory in L.A.
and pursue her own dream to study journalism at NYC's Columbia University
"Ana is what I wish I was at 18," she said
"She's so headstrong and confident."
Ana learns those virtues in part from the fellow women in her family and at the factory: Latin American immigrants who teach her to appreciate where she came from just as much as where she's going
Córdoba said being part of Real Women Have Curves
which incorporates Latin music (in songs by Joy Huerta and Benjamin Velez) and dance (from director/choreographer Sergio Trujillo)
has strengthened her connection to her own heritage
"I grew up around the Latin music world and scene," Córdoba said
"Getting to do that here really feels like home."
who chatted with New York Theatre Guide about her artistic upbringing
her own history with Real Women Have Curves
and what she hopes audiences take away from the musical and its vibrant characters
Get Real Women Have Curves tickets now
It's gonna take me a minute to fully process it because we've been knee-deep in rehearsals and just jumping in
so we're all going through it together and all have the same amount of excitement
so having music and dance always in my life
musical theatre just ended up being the perfect marriage of them both
I went to a performing arts middle school and high school
Oakland School for the Arts [...] and then I went to college at Boston Conservatory at Berklee College of Music
I went back home for a year; I worked as a bridal consultant
Then I saved up for the big move to the Big Apple
and I've been pounding the pavement ever since
Your life sounds a bit like Ana's — she's a California girl who works in a dress factory
Thank you for putting two and two together for me
[She] is much more concerned about how people see her brain than how people see her body
She's overtly confident in how she looks
and it's not really something she feels even the need to talk about because she is very accepting of who she is
but I'm really excited to get to be the 18-year-old I wish I was back then
How familiar were you with the source material
I actually used a monologue from the original play by Josefina López as my college audition monologue
very few Latin woman monologues that I could use — that I wanted to use — for college
It's been like an echo in the back of my head
I can't wait to see where that goes," never thinking I would get to be a part of it
Many people know America Ferrera's performance as Ana; what do you bring to the character
The film was truly groundbreaking in so many ways
and America Ferrera has always been an inspiration to me as a Latina in theatre
I think what’s going to be so cool about bringing Real Women Have Curves to Broadway is that it is a familiar story to people but a totally new way of telling it — and through music
One thing about the character Ana is that she is always herself and isn’t ashamed about who she is
I think in order to play her and do her justice you have to do the same as the actor
I am bringing 120% of myself into this role and breathing a new life into the character
through my own experience and personal attachment to the story
What makes Real Women Have Curves still resonate 20+ years later
It's crazy and a little disheartening that it's still so relevant today
surrounding the topics of immigration and women's rights and women's bodies and being a brown or Black woman
those are still topics that we're [...] still trying to fight for
and I don't think there's been anything like it so far
I'm really excited for people to to come see it and be sat down and forced to be faced with the realities of what we're dealing with
What do you hope people see in these characters
I hope people take away how beautiful and strong and wonderful immigrants are
and the intersectionalities of all of those things — whether you're an immigrant and a mom
or you're undocumented and you're a sister or a wife
or you're the first citizen in your family
All of those beautiful colors are amazing and important to see on stage
What's it like to perform the Latin music and dance styles in the show
my dad was a Latin musician and a salsa singer
It also just feels like such a celebration
all of us getting to dance salsa or sing in Spanish
It really makes us feel more connected to our culture
and to get to do it in front of audiences is really exciting
What spots would you tell her to check out
She would love the New York Public Library. She would die. She would love to go get a sandwich from Milano Market [on the] west side and then post up at Central Park with one of the books she rented from the New York Public Library
Have you ever had a theatre experience as an audience member that really moved you
The first time I saw Hamilton
Just seeing a bunch of Black and brown performers standing there
and that was when I was really considering doing musical theatre for real

Real Women Have Curves opened on Broadway this week to some of the best reviews of the season
The new musical, starring Justina Machado and newcomer Tatianna Cordoba
celebrated its opening night performance on Sunday (April 27) at the James Earl Jones Theatre in New York City
and empowering new musical that celebrates our shared humanity with humor and heart
and Ana Garcia dreams of flying away from East Los Angeles
But when her family receives a make-or-break order for 200 dresses
Ana finds herself juggling her own ambitions
and a community of women all trying to make it work against the odds
The show just earned three Drama Desk Awards nominations
including Outstanding Lead Performance in a Musical for Tatianna
the show also received three Outer Critics Circle Awards nominations
including one for Outstanding New Broadway Musical
A bunch of VIPs took a trip to see the show last week and appeared on stage to honor the cast
Get tickets now to see Real Women Have Curves on Broadway
is a powerful portrayal of an underrepresented community
the new musical adaptation of Josefina López’s seminal play
playing at the James Earl Jones Theatre (opening April 27)
a newcomer with an already formidable presence
the production is more than just another Broadway show; it is a revolution
and a love letter to the women who raised them
her voice rich with the kind of lived-in wisdom that makes you want to lean in closer
“I knew from the moment I read the script that I had to be a part of this,” she says
This woman raised me.’ And I felt such a responsibility to bring her to life in the most honest way possible.”
Real Women Have Curves first premiered as a play in 1990
It was adapted into a 2002 film starring America Ferrera
and now finds itself reborn as a musical for the Broadway stage
as she navigates the complexities of ambition
and self-worth in a small East Los Angeles sewing factory
The themes are as urgent today as they were decades ago
the weight of carrying such a legacy is both thrilling and deeply personal
And she is no stranger to the show’s story
having played Ana in 1993 when she starred in the Chicago premiere of the play at 19
“This story isn’t just about one family; it’s about all of us
It’s about the women who sacrificed so we could dream.” In her voice
there is both gratitude and urgency—a need to ensure those sacrifices are not forgotten
her own journey to this moment just as poignant
“I grew up searching for stories that reflected my reality,” she says
It’s everything I’ve been waiting for.” Córdoba has found herself stepping into a character who mirrors her own struggles and triumphs
That just brings a whole other level of emotion to it.”
The chemistry between the two women is undeniable
They speak with the ease of two family members
dissolving into laughter over shared memories from rehearsals
“Tatianna is just a force,” Machado gushes
“I remember the first time I heard her sing
but also the one who’s gonna crack a joke in the middle of a serious scene and have us all losing it.”
not just for themselves but for the generations of Latinas who will see their stories reflected on Broadway’s grand stage
“Broadway hasn’t always made space for us,” Machado says
“We’re making that space now.” She recalls the early days of her career when roles for Latina actresses were few and far between
and we are worthy of being seen in all our brilliance.”
the musical is also a radical act of self-love
“It’s about celebrating ourselves as we are,” she says
“These women aren’t trying to shrink themselves to fit someone else’s idea of beauty or success
They own their power.” It is a message that they hope resonates deeply with audiences
particularly young Latinas who have rarely seen themselves as the heroes of their own stories
Córdoba adds, “The beauty of this musical is that it doesn’t shy away from the struggles. It shows the weight these women carry emotionally. It celebrates their joy, their laughter, their love. That’s what makes it so special.”
As they both get settled in the show, these actors are keenly aware of the significance of this moment. “This isn’t just another show,” Machado says. “This is a movement.” Córdoba grins, adding, “And we’re just getting started.”

A place where Islam and Christianity have rubbed shoulders for more than a millennium, the Andalusian city offers a rich experience of cultural discovery, finds Queenie Shaikh

These winding pathways whisper tales of Islamic influence that go back more than a millennium
despite many believing that Muslim integration in the West is a relatively recent concept
one often driven by world events rather than by the real lives of Muslims in Western society
its influence in Córdoba predates many modern European countries as we know them today
Islam observances like Ramadan – the 30-day period of fasting that Muslims across the world observe each year – deserve their place in Europe’s historical canon
Read more: When Ramadan and Pancake Day overlap in one of Europe’s most multicultural cities
European Muslims wake before sunrise for suhoor (the pre-dawn meal)
fast during daylight hours and then break their fast at iftar (the sunset meal)
They come together for spiritual reflection and community activities in mosques across Europe as they do elsewhere in the world
But only Córdoba can reasonably claim to be the birthplace of Ramadan in Europe
the city being the first place it was observed in an organised way

They chose Córdoba as their capital and over the next 780 years, the Islamic nation of Al-Andalus slowly took shape. At its peak, Córdoba was a capital city of more than 300,000 inhabitants and the centre of a caliphate that spanned much of the Iberian Peninsula
The city is bordered to the north by Spain’s Sierra Morena mountain range
must be less than seven stories tall to avoid diminishing its prominent cathedral spires – now stretch along the banks of the Guadalquivir River
“University students from around the world visit to examine religious history,” my guide
Maria has used her intimate knowledge of the city on tours for nearly three decades
“Córdoba is the place for Islamic history and theology students,” she went on
as we picked our way through the ruins of the caliphs’ lost palace city of Madinat al-Zahra
Its skeleton now sits on a hillside some 8km west of Córdoba’s centre and is a focal point for Spain’s archaeology community
which is fiercely proud of this relatively recent addition to the Unesco World Heritage list
Islam’s expansion led to an explosion in Córdoba’s population and
Built in the 10th century by Caliph Abd al-Rahman III
and the ruins flow down to Al-Andalus’s once bustling administrative and religious centres
A palpable sense of anticipation remains as more than 90 per cent of the site is yet to be excavated
Medina Azahara’s splendour waned in AD 1010 when it fell to a Berber revolt
This led to its destruction and the dispersal of treasures which found their way to northern Europe
The ruins I explored were a world away from Marbella’s sands or Barcelona’s gridded streets
But there was a telltale sign that we were in Spain: the thousands of olive trees
Córdoba – and Andalusia more widely – have the densest concentration of olive groves in the country
Olive cultivation gained renewed prominence during Moorish rule
with the modern Spanish word for oil – aceite – tracing its etymology from the Arabic word for olive oil
Later, I returned to my hotel, Parador de Córdoba
which is nestled in the hills 3km northwest of the city centre
in the Arruzafa district and built on the ruins of Abd al-Rahman l’s summer palace
The area is home to what are believed to be Europe's oldest palm trees – legend says they were planted by the caliph Abd al-Rahman I himself
Today the expansive property exudes a mid-century charm that is a welcome contrast to Córdoba’s historic city centre
Sunset was fast approaching, which meant finding somewhere to break my fast. I made my way to a vegetarian iftar at NH Collection Amistad Córdoba
a hotel located across two Moorish mansions within the city’s old Jewish quarter
The area was home to Córdoba’s Jewish population from the 10th to 15th centuries
reflected both its Moorish roots and contemporary Spanish influences
while a vegetarian-friendly flamenquín resembled a lighter falafel
The following day, torrential rain prompted me to take a taxi to Córdoba’s remarkable Mezquita
The building almost defies description and is as complicated inside as its storied history
guided by Abd al-Rahman I’s singular vision to create a mosque similar to those in Damascus and Baghdad
After the fall of Al-Andalus and the Spanish Reconquista in AD 1236
adding an altar beneath its skylight and a bell to its minaret
What is left today typifies the Córdoban experience: a physical melding of two cultures and religions that feels all-at-once comfortable and uncomfortable; two different buildings occupying the same space at the same time
An astonishing 856 pillars of marble and jasper – some of which were repurposed from the Roman and early Christian ruins on the same site – stretch in rows familiar to visitors of historic mosques
But the Mezquita is different: at the structure’s centre
with its intricate marble statues of saints and prominent Catholic figures
Completed over more than two centuries and built in at least four architectural styles
the cathedral sits just metres away from the mosque’s former mihrab
which historically signalled the direction of prayer for the city’s Muslims
the Mezquita is a complex flashpoint in Spanish society
Muslims are not allowed to pray inside the most mosque-like parts of the structure
a decision that has long garnered protests from them (and even spurred isolated clashes between the two faiths)
I exited the Mezquita and hurried towards the mostly Moorish-reconstructed Roman bridge housing the Calahorra Tower
The building now has a small museum dedicated to life in Al-Andalus
A man selling shawarmas from a cart waved from across the street
then nodded an appreciative “Alhamdulillah”
Córdoba beautifully captured for me the deep-rooted history of Islam and Ramadan in Europe and proved itself a remarkable destination in which to explore the religion's influences beyond the Middle East

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – PGA TOUR Americas announced Thursday that the 93 Abierto del Centro Cordoba will kick off its 2025 season the week of March 24-30 at the Cordoba Golf Club in Cordoba, Argentina. This will be the first PGA TOUR Americas event contested in Argentina and the southernmost event on the schedule.
With a great history and tradition that dates back to its inaugural edition in 1927, the 93rd playing of the Abierto del Centro Cordoba strengthens the start of the schedule that will take PGA TOUR Americas across eight countries from March through September.
“We’re excited to extend the reach of PGA TOUR Americas with such a historic event as the 93 Abierto del Centro Cordoba at Cordoba Golf Club,” said Scott Pritchard, vice president of PGA TOUR Americas. “Argentina is one of the biggest golf markets in Latin America, and with a strong player representation on PGA TOUR Americas, it was one of our goals to find a partner such as the Cordoba Golf Club to bring the race for the Fortinet Cup here.”
The PGA TOUR Americas roster currently includes seven Argentine players with Mateo Fernández de Oliveira, Julián Etulain, Jesús Montenegro, Tommy Cocha, Andrés Gallegos, Martín Contini and Jaime López Rivarola having secured exempt membership for the 2025 Latin America Swing events.
Villa Allende, the small town where the Cordoba Golf Club is located, was named the national golf capital of Argentina in 2018. It rose to international fame due to local icons Eduardo Romero, an eight-time DP World Tour winner and a five-time PGA TOUR Champions winner who became the city major from 2015 until his passing in 2022, and Angel Cabrera, the only Latin American player with two major championship titles. Romero and Cabrera learned the game working as caddies at the Cordoba Golf Club.
The Abierto del Centro has been a PGA TOUR-sanctioned event in the recent past, joining the PGA TOUR Latinoamérica schedule eight times between 2013 and 2022. Tournament winners in that span included Cabrera, who claimed the 2013 title to tie Martin Pose’s record of eight Abierto del Centro career victories, 2025 PGA TOUR rookie Cristóbal Del Solar, the winner in 2018, and 2024-25 PGA TOUR member Alejandro Tosti, who won by eight shots in 2022.
Several other players who became PGA TOUR champions later in their careers played the Abierto del Centro across those years, including Corey Conners, Keith Mitchell, and more recently Nico Echavarría and Rafael Campos.
A par 71 that plays only 6,878 yards long, the tight tree-lined golf course at Cordoba Golf Club is a tough old-school course. It was consistently ranked among the PGA TOUR Latinoamérica’s toughest tracks during its eight seasons on Tour.

this vivacious pair leads a mostly female company in celebrating the power of working women
“There are so many layers to mother-daughter relationships,” observes Córdoba
chatting with Broadway.com alongside Machado before rehearsal
“and the layer of Latina immigrant mother versus first-generation daughter comes with issues
They have different versions of understanding the world
something we explore in the show.” Nodding
“There’s a lot of love in Carmen
She wants to keep her daughters close because it’s her safety net
I find the storytelling really authentic.”
Machado brings a unique perspective to Real Women Have Curves because she played Ana back in 1993
in a Chicago production of Josefina López’s semi-autobiographical play
(America Ferrera took on the role in a 2002 HBO film adaptation.) Around the same time
“My parents migrated from Puerto Rico to Chicago in the mid-’50s
so they were not supportive,” she says now
adding that her mom couldn’t fathom why Justina would give up a $9-an-hour job at a bank to pursue acting
(Her subsequent success in dozens of films and TV projects ultimately won her family’s approval.)
whose parents who are of Costa Rican and Filipino descent
in musical theater from Boston Conservatory at Berklee College of Music
She laughingly recalls announcing—at age four—her plan to move to New York from the Bay Area of California
“My parents were very supportive,” she says
though they added one caveat: “My dad instilled in us that if you’re going to do something
go into it 100 percent and work your hardest.” Now
singing songs by Joy Huerta (of the Grammy-winning duo Jesse & Joy) and Benjamin Velez
and dancing to the choreography of Tony-winning director Sergio Trujillo
“Joy and Benjamin have done a beautiful job marrying musical theater
pop and Latin music,” Córdoba says
“and introducing Latin music to the theater world in such a cool way
Everyone is going to love it.” Adds Machado
“My character’s songs are a bit more standard because she’s old-school
Real Women Have Curves remains timely in its depiction of financial challenges
green-card worries and body image stereotypes
bodily autonomy or immigration are as relevant as they’ve ever been,” Córdoba says
a high point in the show comes when Ana impulsively removes her outer clothing to feel more comfortable in the stiflingly hot factory
“It’s a very celebratory moment,” says Machado
who was amazed at the audience’s enthusiastic response during the show’s pre-Broadway run in Boston
“I would look out and see women dancing and cheering and holding up their drinks,” she recalls with a laugh
“I had to get past my own insecurities [about the scene]
because you’re baring yourself in front of a lot of people
but it’s a joyous moment of power—for me and for the audience
It’s an important piece for the show.”
The co-stars developed a strong bond in the rehearsal room
Asked what she’s learned from Machado
a SAG Award winner whose credits range from Six Feet Under and One Day at a Time to the new Netflix medical drama Pulse
very lucky to be working alongside strong Latina women like Justina in my first show,” she says
“I have a notebook dedicated to what I’m learning from these women
because being with Justina is a master class
but about being a proud Latina woman standing in your power and not apologizing for who you are
Justina has given me a level of confidence I didn’t know I could develop so early.”
“Tatianna is so smart and charming but also so put-together
There are things I wish I could have known at her age—she’s professional and grounded and doesn’t take things personally
which is a really big deal in this business
I can’t imagine what she will be like in a few years
I’m witnessing the beginning of a great career.”
Córdoba looks forward to sharing messages of positivity and acceptance with young women in the audience
“Our show has so much heart,” she says
“and the relationships between the women is something that comes naturally and feels authentic.” Surveying the current roster of Broadway musicals featuring women of color
“It’s powerful to be part of that—this is the season we’ve all been waiting for.”

Benelli’s original Ethos was launched in 2014 as a refined version of its Super Black Eagle line
The Ethos remedied the SBE’s few shortcomings by improving the shape and angle of the loading gate so it wouldn’t pinch thumbs
adding weight up front for smoother barrel movement
tuning the action to cycle target loads and
adding a spring-loaded detent to the rotating bolt head that ensures the bolt goes fully into battery no matter how softly it’s eased home
The new Performance Shop Ethos Cordoba A.I
as well as nearly every additional refinement the Italian-owned shotgun company can muster at this time
this shotgun that was designed as the ultimate high-volume Argentinian wingshooting gun is currently the company’s flagship
It’s also got an interchangeable carbon-fiber rib
this shotgun is the gun for the migratory bird aficionado who desires a custom-like gun right out of the box
After adjusting the stock using the shim kit that modifies the gun’s drop and cast to fit you so the gun will shoot to your specific point of aim based on your body type
very few hunters could want for much else (with the exception of LOP adjustment and an extended mag tube for high-volume wingshooting)
Knowing this Cordoba would appeal to hunters
Benelli coated all exposed metal parts in the company’s proprietary Benelli Surface Treatment
While at first I took this to be just another name for a Cerakote-type coating
Benelli says that because its barrels are both heat-treated at the barrel extension and cryogenically treated elsewhere
lower-heat process that would apply a coat of metal protection to the gun without undermining its Crio-treatment
Benelli touts this surface treatment protects against both rust and abrasions
and from what I’ve experienced with other Benelli shotguns wearing it
“Advanced Impact” is the marketing phrase for its new barrel technology that Benelli touts as making the gun capable of delivering “improved penetration” by producing more velocity and energy (6 percent more at 1 yard
per company literature) from ordinary loads
and less shot stringing for denser patterns
other than by adding “new ballistic contours” to the barrel
it’s very difficult to prove or disprove Benelli’s claims
that over the years Benelli has been masterful at producing great guns that shooters love … and producing flashy statistics in an attempt to back up its claims
Without highspeed cameras and a laboratory where all the variables are thoroughly tested
What I can tell you about similar technology is as follows: Every once in a while
an engineering breakthrough—such as backboring—actually offers real advantages
I also know that if pressures are increased within the barrel by restricting them before they reach a larger section (the choke) where they are expelled
But higher projectile velocities also come with higher recoil velocities
my test gun shot to my point of aim; its patterns were very dense across the board
and it clearly responded to the choke chosen
For clay games and sustained lead shooting such as at passing ducks
the vast majority of shooters prefer a good bit of weight toward the muzzle
so subtle moves to the target as well as sustained leads are smoothened
The 6 ounces of weight added by the Briley end cap makes a noticeable difference in swing
For those who don’t prefer the added weight
At first the carbon-fiber rib seemed a little janky to me
But then I discovered that it has a purpose other than aesthetics: It can be removed and replaced with a higher or lower rib ($160) to fit the shooter’s needs
I particularly liked the custom-like choke tubes that came with the gun
a kit that’s probably worth $400 on its own
The added skeet and the light mod choke tubes are intelligent additions
barrel producing more velocity?) Certainly
but enough to remind me that the inertia system just doesn’t do as much as gas actions to mitigate recoil
and frankly I think the Comfort Tech 3 system is overhyped
But I must keep in mind that at under 7 pounds
it’s lighter than many of the gas action guns in its class
and it will also run longer between cleanings than gas-actions
Performance-wise I had zero malfunctions with 11/8-ounce target loads or 3-inch magnum steel loads
as they can easily be worked with winter gloves
this Custom Shop Cordoba is incredibly slick internally
patterns great and it’s just easy to shoot well
I’m fairly certain there has never been a more specialized semi-auto bird gun ever made
if you desire the best and are willing to pay for it
The Benelli Lupo HPR was designed to bridge the gap between extreme long-range shooting and hunting
Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) is the latest partner to join the Outdoor Stewards of Conservation Foundation’s (OSCF) “Fill A Bag While Filling Your Tag” program
This week on #SundayGunday we test-fire the Revel Classic
a new-for-2025 lever-action rimfire rifle available from Savage Arms
and models in .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire and .17 Hornady Magnum Rimfire will be available this summer
ultra-tight-choked turkey guns can make bagging a bird more probable when the range is long—as long as you understand their drawbacks

People relaxing in fountain in Cordoba
Córdoba is a perfect destination for history lovers. One of the hottest cities in Spain
it enchants you with orange tree-lined narrow streets
flower-filled hidden patios and superb Andalusian gastronomy
Its most stunning sight is the Mezquita (or Great Mosque)
a masterpiece of the Islamic world with a hypnotic multi-arched interior.
But Córdoba is much more than its famous building
passionate flamenco concerts and a unique handicraft scene
It’s one of the best places to immerse in the authentic Andalusian lifestyle
Venture beyond the city to find a charming wine-making region
inspiring forest hikes and ancient castles featured in popular shows.
Here are the best things to do in Córdoba to have the most complete visit to this intriguing Spanish cultural hotspot.
Jewel of the Moorish caliphate when it was the Grand Mosque of Córdoba, and later one of Spain’s great cathedrals, the Mezquita is justifiably considered to rank among the world’s most magnificent buildings
The first thing you’ll notice on entry to the Mezquita is a forest of arches
as though you’re entering a hall of mirrors
Don’t miss the Mihrab (the decorative prayer niche facing Mecca) with gold mosaic and Maksura (a royal prayer enclosure)
Capilla Mayor is the impressive main altar with plateresque
the Mezquita’s Patio de los Naranjos is the charming courtyard entrance to the Mezquita
it is surprising how much the atmosphere calms inside
Keep coming back here throughout your stay and at different times of the day
For the best view of the Mezquita and Córdoba
Tickets can be purchased to the right of the Puerta del Perdón
Planning tip: Visit at 10am on a paid ticket to avoid the bigger crowds
Book tickets (up to a month) in advance where possible
which used to be connected to the synagogue via a tunnel
The exhibitions here detail Sephardic (Iberian Peninsula Judaism) life and traditions
Planning tip: Head to the Oficina de Turismo (located immediately to the northwest when you enter the Puerta del Puente) for up-to-date opening hours of the major monuments
Commissioned by Catholic King Alfonso XI in the 14th century, soon after defeating the Moors, Córdoba’s Alcázar de los Reyes Cristianos (Castle of the Christian Monarchs), a royal fortress and main royal residence, is a surprisingly small affair when compared to similar structures in Andalucía.
you’ll see the exposed remains of a former Moorish palace that predates it
the halls and corridors lack the majesty of the region’s other royal palaces
mainly because this one later became a base for the Inquisition and then a prison
although time has given her a snake haircut
and an impressively intact Polyphemus and Galatea.
There’s usually a queue to access the battlements
with visitors asked to wait before ascending in limited groups to ensure things stay safe and regulated
From the main tower there are views over the gardens
Descend to finish your visit around their leafy geometric perfection
Planning tip: Entry to the Alcázar de los Reyes Cristianos is free on Thursdays for two hours between 6pm and 8pm in winter and from noon until closing in summer.
The Patios de San Basilio (aka Alcázar Viejo) neighborhood to the north and west of the Alcázar, was built to house staff of the palace and its Caballerizas Reales (Royal Stables)
the houses are heralded for their quaint patios and sprinkled with pots filled with resplendent geraniums and drapes of bougainvillea
Many of these floral feasts win the patio contests during the Fiesta de los Patios de Córdoba in May
Planning tip: The Asociación de Amigos de los Patios Cordobeses runs tours (Thursday to Tuesday) to four or five of the district’s prettiest patios.
Córdoba was once among Spain’s largest and most important cities. Its eminence began under Roman occupation and continued well into the Moorish empire’s centuries-long dominion over Andalucía. The excellent Museo Arqueológico de Córdoba (closed Monday) charts the changes through these different eras via tangible exhibits that explore more than just relics
Daily lifestyles are particularly well portrayed.
Local tip: Don’t miss the museum’s basement level
which features the actual remains of a Roman theatre
From Córdoba’s Jewish Quarter and Mezquita, the old town meanders north and east in a tangle of old streets, which are broken occasionally by a broad plaza. The most ostentatious is the 17th-century Plaza de la Corredera
where the Roman mosaics on display at the Alcázar were discovered
compared with its blood-spilled past that saw bullfights
Inquisition autos-da-fé and executions take place
it’s a spot for refreshments at the Mercado de la Corredera
and an ideal location to sip cold drinks on a warm evening at one of the myriad tapas bars lining the square
Further south, a fountain topped by a prancing pony is the focal point of the long, thin Plaza del Potro. The Posada del Potro on its western side was described by Miguel de Cervantes as a “den of thieves” in Don Quixote. It’s now a decidedly cultured place, housing the Centro Flamenco Fosforito. Plaza de las Tendillas is in the commercial center of Córdoba
when the clock chimes are replaced by flamenco guitar music
the Plaza de los Capuchinos (more often referred to as Cristo de los Faroles
after the statue at its core) is surrounded by eight wonky street lights that represent the eight provinces of Andalucía
Traditional handicrafts endure in good health around Córdoba and you can witness the artistry in practice at various in-store workshops
Head to Calle Puerta de Almodóvar to watch the potter at work making flamenco figurines at Cerámica Leonardos
Calle San Pablo is the place to see José Rodríguez
El Reparador Antonio Porras on Calle San Pablo does leather tooling
Joaquín Espaliú is the fourth-generation silversmith on Calle Almanzor
Head one street east of Plaza de la Corredera to find Artesanía Toril for esparto grass weaving
The Palacio de Viana marks the high point of Córdoba’s bloom-filled patio scene
Although a delightful place to visit at any time of year
spring is the best time to experience the floral creativity across the palace’s 12 patios
The Renaissance palace beyond them is a five-century mishmash of architectural styles
The mansion belonged to the Marqueses de Viana
the furniture and decor are a frozen portrayal of daily life in times gone by.
Planning tip: Access to the interior is via a guided tour (Spanish only). When the Fiesta de los Patios de Córdoba takes place in May
Spain has a long tradition of leatherwork. Andalucian leather, embossed with botanical designs and geometric patterns, was popular in the 16th century, and can still be found in palaces and stately homes across Europe. But even before then, a type of gilt sheepskin leather art called guadamecí, initially developed in Libya
became popular in Córdoba during the Muslim caliphate of the 10th century.
Although lost to Córdoba for many centuries, guadamecí leather art has been revived in the city. José Carlos Villarejo García, taught by his uncle, who in turn taught himself from archival information, creates beautiful, decorative pieces of art. Visit Casa-Museo del Guadamecí Omeya to see his exquisite work
You will have plenty of recourse to experience flamenco live in Córdoba. Head first to the Centro Flamenco Fosforito on Plaza del Potro, where excellent curation brings flamenco to life through instruments, footage and, of course, music. Check Centro Flamenco Fosforito's website for upcoming shows
Planning tip: In summer, there are occasionally free flamenco concerts at the town hall. If you visit during the annual Noche Blanca del Flamenco festival in June
you’re certain to catch plenty of free performances.
The San Lorenzo neighborhood is a pleasant part of the historic center largely devoid of the tour groups found elsewhere
with its impressive Gothic-Mudéjar rose window
was commissioned to be built over a mosque in the 13th century
soon after the Christian Reconquista (reconquest)
the Iglesia del Juramento de San Rafael is built on the site where the archangel Raphael is believed to have appeared to Father Roelas in the 16th century
some of the beautiful interior patios of private houses open to the public during the fortnight of the Fiesta de los Patios de Córdoba in May.
Planning tip: For a green escape that stays open throughout the year
alongside which runs a 400m (1312ft) stretch of the city wall from the Almoravid dynasty
which ruled from the mid-11th until the mid-12th centuries.
Look west from the Parador de Córdoba on a clear day and you’ll see a formidable castle crowning a hilltop 22km (13 miles) away. As you near it, the Castillo de Almodóvar starts to take on an almost menacing aspect – its sharp row of crenellations like bared fangs
The castle mostly dates to the post-Reconquista era.
Planning tip: You can climb many of its nine towers and explore the chapel and battlements
A free car park is located 600m (1968ft) below the castle’s north side
The only wine-producing DOP (Denominación de Origen Protegida) in Córdoba is Montilla-Moriles DOP
on the plains of the Río Genil and Río Guadajoz
Montilla itself is 43km (26 miles) south of Cordóba city
with Moriles another 17km (10 miles) further south
Wine production in the region dates back to Roman times
You’ll notice how the landscape mellows and the earth changes from red to the very pale
albariza soil – the same as the sherry triangle in Cádiz – which the Pedro Ximénez grape loves
This is also the place to see the fascinating craft of barrels being created by hand at various locations
Bodegas Robles and Bodegas Toro Albalá are great places for a tasting.
The mountainous belt north of Córdoba is packed with natural parks and pueblos blancos (traditional whitewashed towns of Andalusia). Parque Natural Sierra de Cardeña y Montoro is in the region known as Los Pedroches
where black Iberian pigs graze for acorns from holm oaks in stone-walled fields
Los Pedroches has 17 pueblos blancos dotted around the natural landscape.
Parque Natural Sierra de Hornachuelos is an expanse of forest-flecked hills further west and a continuation of the Sierra Norte de Sevilla
rare black storks and Bonelli’s eagles all residents

spent the morning in an audience with Pope Francis
who greeted them on “the journey of life.” The Pope explained how there are various signs of hope throughout the path of life
to the ultimate encounter with Jesus” is the first sign on the journey
Pope Francis stressed that this direction does not lead to a comfortable life
because choosing comfort leads to “dead ends.” If this path is chosen
the Pope described the second sign—the dangers people might encounter along the way
Using the example of the life of their hometown saint—Pelagius from Cordoba—he encouraged the seminarians to “persevere on the Lord’s path,” emboldened by the fact that Jesus will sustain and give them strength to “be sowers of hope.”
One of the seminarians' stops on their life journey was this encounter with the Pope and a visit to the Holy Door during the Jubilee Year
Pope Francis underlined that everyone needs to feel Jesus’ presence in their lives and
“He repairs us when we get a flat tire in the middle of the road” and “He welcomes us when fatigue overcomes us
“setting out on the journey would be madness.” It is only through trust in him that man can be certain he will reach his destination
Pope Francis warned the seminarians that being sowers of hope does not mean “saying words of courtesy or opting for a sugary goodness.”
This path of life is not one to be traveled alone
and blessing those whom the Lord entrusted to us as our task.”
