The best way to get to know the Cordovan capital. During the tour, we will walk around the entire environment that surrounds the river. We will visit in its historical context so that the tourist understands its wealth and monumental quality. For example, we will visit the spectacular Roman Bridge of Cordoba, still used daily by thousands of Cordobans that connects both banks of the river. This architectural work from the time of the Romans when they colonized Cordoba, has served infinite times as the setting for multiple films and series. Continuing with this route, we will find ourselves facing the Plaza del Triunfo, which precedes the Puerta del Puente and where the Triumph of San Rafael is built, which stands out for its careful aesthetics, the technique used to build it and its materials.
