Nightlife of Cordoba
The Cordobases like to roam around at night, sampling the tapas and drinking the regional wine in various taverns. These are nothing but the worst way to spend your evening, you can have your tapas crawl at the previously recommended Bodegas Campo, which has some of the classiest tapas in town. But there are many other options, particularly if you find yourself wandering the streets of the Judería, which is particularly colorful in the evening. The best place to visit here, and one of the most authentic, is Taberna Casa Pepe de la Judería. El Caballo Rojo is another first-class restaurant with a good supply of tapas, which it serves on a leafy Andalusian patio.
The most popular and dynamic flamenco club of Cordoba’s is Tablao Cardenal at Calle Torrijos 10, just across from the Mezquita, you can enjoy a show featuring international and award-winning flamenco artists. Some of the purest styles of Andalusian flamenco -- soleá, bulerías, and alegrías - are showcased here. For an even more authentic flamenco venue, head for Mesón Flamenco La Bulería, Pedro López 3, close to the Plaza de la Corredera on the outskirts of the old part of town. This is one of the most reasonably priced flamenco shows in Andalusia, considering the class of its talent.
You can find the more formal entertainment at the city’s theatrical grande dame, the early-1900s Gran Teatro de Córdoba, Av. Gran Capitán 3, site of most of the ballet, opera, chamber music, and symphony performances in town.
