The WPT Circuit is preparing to start its journey in what is also known as the City of Three Cultures ... With a lot of history in its streets, and a great passion for paddle among its inhabitants, from World Paddle Tour we discover all its secrets.
Padel World Press .- Located in a depression on the banks of the Guadalquivir, at the foot of Sierra Morena, it should be noted that Córdoba is the third city of Andalusia both by size and population. Important tourist focus, there is no visitor who does not marvel when walking through its Historic Quarter, which was declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco for 20 years ago.
Unmissable visit, it is the largest urban space in the world with this important qualification given by Unesco. While walking through it, you can still see many buildings with architectural elements of when the city was the capital of the Later Hispania in the time of the Roman Republic, or the Bética province during the Roman Empire and the Caliphate of Cordoba during the Muslim era .
In turn, the famous Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba, also declared a World Heritage Site, is the most visited site next to the Roman Bridge.
One month of May not to leave Córdoba
And it is that during those days the main festivals of the city are celebrated. The first to arrive are the famous 'Cruces de Mayo', during which, in the main streets and squares, crosses are placed about three meters fully decorated with flowers and surrounded by beautiful plants in pots. This achieves a traditional atmosphere, which reflects the characters of the area.
Another of the great celebrations is the Fiesta de los Patios Cordobeses, which was designated an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO in December of the 2012. We can not forget either the Catas or the Fair, which contribute to make May the 'month par excellence' of Cordoba.
As for its gastronomy, and given its strategic location, it should be noted that it is mainly nourished by products from the countryside and its fertile plain, as well as from the Sierra (from where its livestock hut comes) or from the southern part, from where it comes its olive oil The combination of all these ingredients, always of the highest quality, make the cuisine of Cordoba, a cuisine of stews and stews.
Typical dishes include salmorejo, flamenquines, oxtail, lamb with honey, chopped oranges or artichokes à la 'montillana' ... As a more typical dessert, the Cordovan cake, which consists of a mass of Puff pastry stuffed with candied citron called 'Cabello de Ángel'.
