Neighbourhoods, Trades and Everyday Life in Córdoba: audio walks

The Córdoba that works, trades and celebrates appears in these neighbourhood and everyday-life walks. The focus is on how streets were used and on the people who gave them their rhythm, alongside the notable buildings. Comparing their stories offers a way into trades, encounters and differences that give each part of the city its own life.

In “The Alcázar and San Basilio”: You start beside the walls of San Basilio, the old Alcázar Viejo, a neighbourhood that held out against six breaches in 1368 and where, the story goes, the women fought with pikes and sticks.

In “The Roman Bridge and the Calahorra”: Cross the Guadalquivir in eleven stops: a monument that lists a city's fears, boats at the Bridge Gate, the little shrine where the executed were received, a tower that locked up just about everyone, and the battle that, tradition has it, gave the far bank its name.

In “San Agustín and San Lorenzo”: The neighbourhood that stood its ground, in twelve stops: a Virgin who arrived by mule (or so they say), women who break out of a lock-up, nuns who escape a fire through a hole in the wall, a mother who sparks a riot, and the gate kings rode in through.
