Fun and entertainment Province Of Córdoba

Also known as the "Casino", this "circle" is located in the former convent of the Order of Saint-Jean-de-Dieu and is one of the places often referred to by Juan Valera, a writer and politician of the th century, born in Cabra in his book Pepita Jiménez, in particular a description that remains very accurate on his patio, l'old convent cloister '. Fountain, azulejos, soft light, nothing missing and makes it a delicious place to stop taking a drink. In the summer, there are many cultural activities: Flamenco and classical music concerts for example. You will find the updated programming regularly on its site.

If there is a place to come and have a drink in Córdoba, it is this one. This large lounge area, with multiple nooks and crannies for festive groups and various markets, has a superb panoramic terrace, with spectacular views of the city, the river and the Roman bridge. We sit around small tables on stools, or on Moroccan footstools inside. Be careful, it is not easy to identify the entrance, it is a very simple building hall with a very discreet logo. You take the elevator from the back and go up to the top floor.

The former Royal Stables of the horse-loving King Filipe II, dating back to the ^16th century, have naturally been transformed into the International Horse Center, presenting the purebred Spanish equestrian show "Pasión y Duende del Caballo Andaluz", to be seen to appreciate the Andalusian pas accompanied by flamenco! Beauty, intelligence and nobility are the words most often used to describe the animals in action during this ballet, which can be completed, why not, at the Yeguada Almuraza (www.yeguadaalmuzara.com), a stud farm some ten kilometers from Cordoba, on the way to Palma del Rio. A great bargain if you don't go to Jerez to visit its Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art during your trip.

As in Lucena, on an overall Egyptian theme, four rooms with four different atmospheres, rather dance and electro, attract the favours of the inhabitants of the area.

This discotheque is part of a restoration and recreation complex, the point of fall of the couche, winter here, summer in another area near the exhibition area. Palko is one of the group's discos.

Near La Mezquita, in the evening, it is one of the few lively places in the historic district. There are mainly tourists who come to see flamenco shows, with singers, musicians and dancers. However, it is in a rather intimate atmosphere - in the patio of an authentic Andalusian palace-house - that these flamboyant artists, often rightly awarded, evolve. The ensemble knows how to show itself to be of high quality, thanks in particular to the orchestration of Alicia Carmona, the master of this place. Reservation recommended.

Built in 1871, it is the work of the architect Amadeo Rodríguez which was inaugurated in 1973 with the staging of the zarzuela "Marta". Closed in 1970, it has undergone various restructurings that have not affected its original configuration as a large Italian theatre. Classified as a property of historical and artistic interest in 1982, it is now owned by the City Council of Córdoba and serves as a majestic setting for most of the major events and shows on the municipal cultural agenda: theatre, dance, music, flamenco. Programming to follow online.

In the west of the city centre, a modern trendy bar with regular Djs in action. Space even has a VIP area and an Internet café corner. The specialty of the house: the Irish-coffees well dosage!

In the north of the Roman temple and the town hall, on two floors the rendezvous of the Gothic and Métalleux of Cordoba, black is black! A few electro evenings also…

Behind the Roman ruins, one of the best bars in the city. In two small rooms, one with a living room, a lively and cosmopolitan clientele (and sometimes poudrée!) comes with quality music (black music, reggae…).

Not far from El Corte Inglés, in the shopping district of Cordoba, this café with cobbled patio terrace under orange trees is housed in a modernist building from the very early ^20th century, the school of Art Nouveau architects. Since its opening in summer 2011, this chic and beautiful establishment, with its judicious decor and subdued lighting, has been open at all hours, whether for breakfast, coffee breaks, aperitifs or evening copas with a DJ. Beautiful people and friendly, attentive service. Flamenco programming during the Christmas season.

Founded in 1931 by the grandfather of the current owner, he took his name from a small post office that was once close. Little change since then, only those required by law. More than eighty years of good and loyal services in the heart of town, right next to the plaza de las Tendillas (with his clock clock, his statue of the military chef Gran Capitán and fountains). After the work, it's the multi-generational rendez-vous of a large number of Cordoans, old zinc, minimal decco and little choice and space, so the regulars are pouring on the pedestrian path and the small groups of Tchachers train! Let yourself be tempted by a fresh cerveza caña for the aperitif to accompany a few anchovies… Greeting home, por favor!
