    3-12-26 Jueves, por la tarde…read more Después de visitar la mezquita es obligatorio almorzar en la Bodega Mezquita. Al llegar te recibe la sonrisa de Jose Rey quien se ocupa de casi todo! - tiene control de cada detalle y se hace conocer. Habla, ríe y conversa con todos los patrones no importa de donde visites. Para pedir, nos atendió Dave Ryx, con otra sonrisa y contento de guiarnos a travez de un menú desconocido. Comenzamos con las croquetas y las berenjenas fritas - versión tapa, ambos deliciosas. Comimos media porción de deditos de pollo frito que sirven con una salsita espectacular - lo recomiendo. Y, por supuesto nos convenció a tratar la torrija hecha de forma inigualable y calientica. Pedi una sopa que no nos agrado y rápidamente la retiro sin problema ni costo. Aparte de la comida, lo mejor fue conocer a Jose y David- ambos, atentos y zalameros, que no dudaron en complacer nuestro menu infantil. Gracias chicos, hasta la próxima!

    We arrived at exactly 8 pm for our 8 pm reservation, but the glass door was still locked and the…read morestaff inside just glared at us until we walked away. Not a great start. Once inside, the atmosphere was very pleasant, having been seated in a large, open atrium with ornate carved stone walls and doorways. We asked for a large bottle of sparkling water but were told that they only had small bottles at €2.50 a pop. Small bottles mean more profit for the business but are inconvenient and more expensive for customers. We started with a bottle of the Speak of Silence /Extremadura, a dark red wine made with Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Tempranillo grapes. At €22 it was a decent value (average price = €19) with a 4.1 / 5.0 rating on Vivino and rated one of the top 2% of wines in the world. It was good, but I am not sure about the top 2% claim. We ordered and shared several dishes, so I will elaborate here: - Mixed Salad with Tomato Vinaigrette (€6.10): Nothing special, just an overpriced salad - Cordoban Salmorejo (€5.10): A local cold tomato soup emulsified with olive oil, Iberian ham, and egg, it probably would have been better warm or hot. It was tasty, but different, not something I would order again. - Cordoban Flamenquin (€14.75): Another local dish, pork loin stuffed with ham, breaded, and fried. It was good but a bit dry so I dribbled some sauce from the oxtail on top. It would have been better with an accompanying sauce, but then it would not be Cordoban. - Cordoba-style Oxtail (€13.95): Two small knuckles with barely any meat and eight small french fries scattered on top. The sauce was good and what meat that was there tender, but €13.95 for four or five mouthfuls? Definitely NOT a TravelValue. - Solomillo Boletus (€19.25): Iberian pork tenderloin topped with a mushroom sauce, it was delicious, but €20 seems a tad high for a few pieces of pork and a smattering of fries. Our server, Jose Rey, was professional and attentive and we were very pleased with his service. Another thing I did not like was the coercion to submit a 5-star review at the end of the meal. We were handed a card stating Ïf you don't like something, say it here¨but ¨Ïf you liked something, say it outside¨. I tell it like it is, so I do not appreciate being coached on what to submit in my reviews. The meal was good and the experience pleasant, but the few shortfalls we experienced kept me from giving them one of my top ratings.

    This museum was open late so we popped in during our post dinner walk around Cordoba. When we…read moreapproached the ticket counter the staff member informed us that admission was free that evening which saved us 1.5E each. The museum was contained in two buildings. We started upstairs in the modern building which showcased many sculptures, statues, coins and more across Cordoba's history. The highlight were two bronze statues from the Roman era that were recovered by police and just restored in 2024. In the basement we walked above the excavated ruins of a Roman Theatre which would have been the largest in Spain. The Palace of Paz de Castilleja was located next door and we just showed our ticket stub to enter. Unfortunately it was dark and lighting was done so we only had enough time to walk through the courtyards and see the Roman mosaics. Overall a very good museum to checkout while in Cordoba with an admission that can't be beat.

    We visited this museum because it was within walking distance to our Airbnb, we could easily get in…read morewith no line, and it was super inexpensive. I would not go out of my way to come here, but if you're in Cordoba and looking for some culture, this is a decent bet. They have a really nice collection of Roman columns from the 1st and 2nd centuries, some Roman mosaics, and there are the ruins of a Roman theater in the basement, but that's not super impressive since it is basically just ruins and you can't even really tell what it used to be because it was mined for materials in later years. Only downside to the visit was the rather surly desk attendant who was not very customer service focused.
