It had been a LONG time since Yoly and I had been in Cordoba. And it’s a city that I have always loved. It’s full of mystery, history and of course incredible food! So in this video Yoly and I decided to do a tapas crawl across 5 of the top tapas bars in Cordoba, plus a few extra stops for good measure.
So where did we go?
1. Bodega Guzmán. A fantastic old bodega where they fill the glasses of Montilla Moriles to the brim (seriously) and the walls are lined with bullfighting memorabilia. This is a tertulia taurina, which means it’s a place where bullfighting aficionados get together to talk shop. And there were a few old boys there having their aperitif while we were there.
2. Taberna Salinas. A classic in Cordoba, and the best place for traditional dishes in my opinion. It’s been open about 100 years, and you can sit in the bar or the restaurant. We hit the bar, and ordered three local classics - rabo de toro (bull tail stew), salmorejo (cold tomato soup - thicker than gazpacho) and berenjenas fritas (floured and fried eggplant slices). All were fantastic.
3. Cuatromanos. Now a modern stop. Run by the couple of brothers, these guys are doing modern interpretations of classic dishes. We actually ate there for dinner that night as well. It was excellent. This is more of a restaurant than a tapas bar - so heads up there.
We next hit the famous mosque (mezquita) and also a place for Spain’s largest tortilla, Bar Santos. Does big mean delicious?
4. Taberna Góngora. Another classic joint in Cordoba. These guys are famous for their flamenquín, which is a local dish which is effectively rolls of pork which is then breaded and fried. It’s intense - but worth it. Especially when you dip it in mayo.
Next, another off-road stop. Snails! Cordoba’s snail seasons runs from about February until June and during the season stalls pop up all around the city. The caracoles come in different sizes and in different sauces - best one is the delicious cuminy and minty brother.
5. La Sastrería. Last stop was another modern joint, and we hit the bull tail stew again… this time in the form of a taco. We were seriously stuffed by now, but Yoly managed to pack it away.
Make sure you include Cordoba on your Andalusia trip!

My father was born there, and now I live so far from there. I always cry when I see pics or videos about one of the most beautiful cities in the whole world: Córdoba.
I got a four month scholarship for a university in Córdoba in the 90s. I went there from Hungary. I agree with you. That place is magical. If I won a lottery, next day I'd move there. Córdoba es un sitio especial. ❤️🇪🇦
And the Mosque! I brought people there who had never heard of it. It is a peon to building architecture.
Yes it is
@@acspeter7 why if you won the lottery? It's cheap there just go
James, you and your partner do such a great job on these videos. I can't imagine anyone not wanting to hop on a plane to share your love for Spain and its food culture. Thank You!
Thank you!
Exactly!
Cordoba is my favorite city in Spain. Truly special
Puede parecer una tontería, pero me habéis hecho llorar. Desde febrero no he pisado las calles de mi ciudad (vivo en Estepona, Málaga, no muy lejos pero lo suficiente este año tan dificil). Me he emocionado mucho viendo como disfrutáis en algunos de mis sitios favoritos. Gracias 😊
Lo mismo digo! Vivo en Sevilla desde hace 12 años y me he emocionado al veros por allí. Definitely, Córdoba is underrated!
Córdoba una de las ciudades más antiguas e importantes y populosas de la antigüedad, en Europa.
Estudié en cordoba. Soy francesa y solamente tengo lindos recuerdos de esta ciudad 💕
My wife and I ate at Taverna Salinas tonight. We live in New Mexico and my family came to the new world in the late 1600’s. The dishes we ate are the same that were brought over which my mom cooked while she was alive. Especially Reno de Toro and the arroz con leche.

Nobody does it better . You guys are simply the best . Every Spaniard is so proud of you . You deserve an award for excellence. Well done you both. Keep up the excellent work. Big hug
From a Cordoban living abroad, thank you so much guys for this video!
The food and the sites - wow - but the X-Factor with this channel is the obvious warmth/love the two of you share.
Cordoba es muy bonito ,hay muchas cosas de arqueología,monumentos,el clima,es segura ,se puede ir a cualquier sitio a pie,maravilloso y romántico.
The climate is dreadful, like.living in a pizza oven but it's a lovely city
“It’s curing all the wounds in my mouth “ 😂 Priceless... congrats again for the wonderful video, guys. You’re so much fun to watch. Cordoba is magical!!
OMG - James and Yoly - you absolutely sold Cordoba to me 💘💝🥰
Me encanta el cristo de los faroles. Lo más bonito de Córdoba
My heart swells watching Córdoba. I studied there with Erasmus scholarship in the 90s from Hungary. Gracias ❤️🇪🇦
Im going there for an erasmus internship on march 12th. It looks amazing
Berenjenas de Almagro, my favorite tapa. I was raised in a small village of La Mancha 20 kilometers from Almagro. Jamón ibérico and queso manchego y a disfrutar!!!
What a beautiful city, filled with yet more Spanish wonders of food. I like snails and that cute little snail gave up the ghost in a very enjoyable ending....delicious.
I am amazed by the variety of food and wine ...always something new
Gracias Ginger!
Excellent video. Love your work and Córdoba is one of my favourite places. I live in the campo near Sevilla and no matter how many times I visit the mezquita it gives me goosebumps. Your love of this country, the culture and the food is lovely to see. It can't be easy doing this professional a job. Well done both of you.
Thanks Elaine!
I love Cordoba but the food is overrated and very disappointing
"curing all the wounds in my mouth" yes! A wonderfully poetic and revealing turn-of-phrase :-) .......
I LOVED Cordoba! My husband and I were there for 24 hours on 19 May, and were pleasantly surprised about how historic and beautiful the city is. Ate through a few tapas places, but the one worth mentioning, I think is Casa Pepe de La Judería. We had Mazamorra con dulce de pera y piñones, salmorejo, and bacalao a baja temperatura, guiso de sus callos y garbanzos. Crazy good all of it! Would love to go back and venture more. The patios, la Mezquita, the bar scene in the Juderia, and more, make it all the more worth seeing it, and eating throughout the city.
Hola chicos. Me encantan sus videos. Soy canaria, vivo en Tenerife. Deberían venir aquí y probar el adobo canario y conocer las islas.
La experiencia de su vida
That Rabo de Toro looks insane and Secreto Iberico is one of my all time Spanish favourites. I need to put Cordoba on my list.
Get there - it's awesome Paul!
Have been enjoying many of your videos. Enriches my understanding of Spain. Keep it up! :-)
Thanks Stewart :)
I was there in early October 2019, but we didn't stop to eat. I was with a small family group, and they didn't want to eat. I will go by myself in 2022, and I will do whatever I want to do, and go wherever I want to go.
Que felices os veo. Disfrutando de la vida. Seguir así guapos. 😘
I just adore Spanish food. I can't get enough.
It's so good that my health has improved immensely.
Great country, crap food
I just want to say; I'll be visiting Spain in less than 24 hours and your videos helps tremendously!!!! :D
I absolutely love you guys. I listen to most of your videos several times. I never get bored of them. It reinforces so many things I may have forgotten or I notice something I may have overlooked when I watched the video the first time. Love what you do for us. Great job.
Thank you Amelia!
Here I am watching this video again and again. I was in Cordoba in October 2019, but next time I visit, I will travel by myself. A family group is fine, but I didn't see what I wanted to see and we did not eat there. How can anyone visit a beautiful place anywhere in Spain and not experience the cuisine...doing it solo next time.
Rabo de Toro My favorite, you dont see much Mahou beers down there, love the Caracoles down there, Cordoba fantastic city, small and nice people, love the video
Una de las más servidas en los bares de Córdoba! Siempre la pido aquí.. (don't know what you are talking about!! ; )
Terrible food but lovely people
Córdoba es una maravilla, para muchos incluso mejor que Sevilla.
Hi James. I stayed right opposite the famous cathederal mosque years ago. I was a cheap skate and checked it out in the morning when it was gratis entry. Amazing mix of separate cultures. Not surprised a food outlet next to the city's biggest tourist attraction wasn't top notch cuisine. However the tapas food looked amazing! One of the dishes reminded me of the old favorite counter meal at pubs, steak and chips. I'm sure the taste of your meal was a little more exotic. lol Love your tapas crawls. Feel sorry for both of your distended stomachs but envious of your wine soaked livers. Just got back from Vietnam where there's plenty of tasty food but I do miss Spain.
You just revealed some lovely spots from my own city! Can’t believe it...
Gracias Maria
I adore snails. I am still in love with the butter and garlic sauces. Las Caracoles Restaurante in Barcelona is a favorite of mine. My husband watched as I had 3 separate small plates delivered to the table. I tried them all but still veered to the more French version.
When I visited Cordoba with my boyfriend and his family, we ate at a small place outside the tourist area. Salmorejo blew me away. So creamy and hearty, even in the Cordoba heat in May. It reached almost 47 degrees in the afternoons. (116+ fahenheit) when we were there.
Besides Salmorejo we were served a dessert called Naranjas Ancianas. Ancient oranges. Gorgeous, sweet, spicy orange slices, peeled and drizzled with light olive oil and dashes of cinnamon. I still serve it to this day.
I watched at least 25 videos in 2019, and many for the 2nd or 4th time. I visited Cordoba in 2019, and all your videos of Spain (Andalusia area) helped me a great deal. Thank you. You guys are always great. Keep doing what you do..(July 2, 2021)
Me ha encantado que enseñéis lugares menos típicos de la ciudad, enhorabuena por el buenísimo video, Viva Córdoba!!
Keep selling me on coming on over to Spain , Mr. Blick. These videos just boost me along and it's working, I just can't bring myself to settle for where I am now. Spain is no longer an idle dream but a real opportunity well within my grasp. I see myself retiring there.
Sounds great Matthew! How long until retirement?
@@spainrevealeda : I'm already retired and have no excuse for not moving. I should be over in Spain now.
We are traveling to Andalusia in February....I'm marking all your recommendations.... We are planning to take a Devour food tour in Seville. Your videos are excellent in content and delivery and your wife is a great counterpart to the whole experience... Cheers
You two are so fun. Great job again. Can't wait until the next vlog. Ambos son impresionantes!
Bit of a history about the Mosque at Cordoba as told to me by my Spanish friends:
When Cordoba finally fell, under Isabel and Fernando, the order was to level the mosques. Spanish engineers pled with the Catholic court to allow them to keep it for 10 years so they could study how it stood up. The building is enormous, the size of 2 football fields. The Spanish court allowed this because the engineers told them that they could build larger Catedrales.
After 10 years, the engineers said they still were still s the veracity of the building as a feat of engineering and architecture. The Court allowed them 10 years more with the codicil that they be able to make it into a cathedral.
To test the veracity of the building the engineers scooped out the center of the building, expecting it to fall down. It didn't. And that is why you walk through the dark, cool praying places of the moors, through the areas that were used as Jewish Temple, and you come upon this Cathedral in the middle, flooded with light.
Good video again and great idea to mix the food with tourism , sightseeing and the local architecture. I would recommend you to keep this way. Even for spanish people like myself you can discover new places and gastronomy. Cheers!
Thank you very much!!
I'm visiting this weekend for the first time! Thanks for the tips!
Love Your Vlog, it is absolutely amazing. I am fascinated about Spain and its culture. Besos from Canada 🇨🇦
Cordoba looks fantastic. Looks like I have to put it into my iterniry.
Your video deserves more attention. Thank you so much!
Gracias! Share it around :)
Honestly my favourite TH-cam channel. I love that you go to authentic places and not just the tourist traps. I'm working as an au pair in Castellón over the summer and your videos are getting me more excited ;)
On my way to Spain in a few weeks with my cousin and her partner. We love your videos and YOLY!!!
Just I've been this weekend and I loved it!
James this my first time visiting your blog. and you and Yoly are amazing. I am Cuban and live in the US all my life and have never been to Spain, but my mother did years ago and it is exactly like you describe it. Thanks for the video I really enjoyed it especially the food part. Will be watching you again.

I love you videos! Great content!

I wish I was where are you are now! Well at least in this video! I love tapas! They’re so fun to eat...all little dishes and delish!...that with a good crisp and tasty beer sounds excellent! Great places you both went to ...awesome! Thanks for sharing! Cheers 🍻
I gave the cabrillas a try a couple of days ago in Sevilla and they were yummy. The trick is on how good the sauce is. A bit daunting but definitely worth a try.
Another great video - filled with nostalgia for me. Thanks.
I wish I had had your tapas bar guide last time I was there. and next time I’ll try to be there during caracoles season. 😀
Next time!
Great video! Just hit Taberna Salinas, perfect.
Another good one! Thanks for sharing.
You are on top of 'my food chain'!
Gracias!
You are the best!
Love Love love your channel....so missing the food!! cannot wait to get back over there and visit Córdoba
I miss Spain !! Great video !
Oh I love salmorejo! That one looked really good.
It was really good!
Loved Cordoba. Ate a lemon Gelato on the Mosque wall and watched the world go by. Ate bulls tail stew ( and baby eels) in a Flamenco Gypsy cave in Granada. Had Salmorejo several times as well...very tasty and filling.
Love food! Love Spain ! Thank you from US.
Gracias por este vídeo de mi tierra como cordobés que soy muchísimas gracias
A mi mujer y a mi nos encantan sus vídeos! Estuvimos en España el año pasado y en Octubre nos volveremos a ver por allá. Me he dado cuenta de muchas cosas que no hemos hecho y probado Gracias a sus vídeos!! Me gusta que James es sincero cuando prueba algo, una cosa, no me atrevería a comer caracoles 🐌 😵 saludos James y Yoli ☺️
PEACE-LOVE-TAPAS!!! Gracias por sus vídeos chicos...I enjoy every minute of it...Córdoba is on my Spain list for sure...About los caracoles: I LOVE them!!! One of the most underrated foods of the world!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Terrible food but Great city
Love you guys! Your videos make me want to move to Spain now! I’ll have to be patient!!!
Not to worry you guys, you both do a fantastic job in all the videos. Thanks much ♥️💋
Great video....would love to be sitting there drinking the Montilla ...was amazed how cloudy they were...so cool....maybe they are natural style
Perhaps yeah - it certainly hit the spot
Love though those thick tortillas they serve in the bars around the Cathedral
thanks for the flavors , I almost can taste it !!
i’m jaleously salivating. You guys make an awesome job .
Want to explore Spain more and more bec of your videos
I lost all my videos and photos form Cordoba and Toledo, when, I visited Spain in 2018, so, I HAVE to go back, and I did enjoy Ox tail in Cordoba.
I have just now subscribed for your channel. Me molan mucho tus vídeos. Saludos desde Hungría ❤️
I ran into Señor Santos in the street near plaza Tendillas, about 10 years after our last visit to Bar Santos, and he was visibly older, but he remembered my face , and that I was from California! Sharp dude. I imagine that he sold his bar, and you are right, the tortilla was not the same as it was when he was there.
Con vosotros es imposible ponerse a dieta !! Saludos.
Hello! I’m Mexican/ Spanish/Italian /French and live right next door to Mexico in California . I’ve never seen anyone eat a Taco the way Yoli did? Lol, most of us here eat it side ways like your hisposo did sweet Yoli, so it’s not so messy! Glad to see they have Yummy looking Tacos there!🥰 Buen Provecho! Can wait to go to Spain! Victoria Caropreso
Me encanta el pa amb tomaquet
, Fuet y los berberechos
Thanks for the video.I've enjoyed a lot.
This weekend has come a close familiar from Madrid and as I had seen your Madrid best tapas video we were chatting about it.
She disagreed with some of the tapas you consider popular in Madrid so we had a funny discussion as I supported you.
Till next time!
*adds Cordoba to itinerary* Restando los días para poder viajar otra vez!
