Why go
This route suits visitors who want to understand Córdoba through a small area rather than cover the whole city. Begin at Puerta de Almodóvar and spend time inside Casa de Sefarad and the Synagogue before visiting the Chapel of San Bartolomé. The Mezquita-Cathedral gives the day a strong finish and deserves its own unhurried visit. Casa Andalusí adds another house interior if you have time and want a fuller picture of the quarter. The stops are close, but several are indoor visits; check current opening and admission details before setting out, and trim the optional house if the timing does not work.
