From Plaza de las Tendillas the guide leads you into the older streets, past the area of the old souk and on to the Alcázar of the Christian Monarchs, where Isabella and Ferdinand planned the final campaign against Granada.
Down by the river you cross towards the Roman Bridge and the Puerta del Puente, then pass the Hospital del Cardenal Salazar before the route ends at the Mosque-Cathedral. Along the way the guide points out whitewashed alleys, wrought-iron balconies and the flower-filled patios Córdoba is known for. Entry to the Mosque-Cathedral is not included.
