Santa Cruz, Agricultural neighborhood in Córdoba, Spain
Santa Cruz is a residential neighborhood in the Periurbano Este-Campiña region, combining agricultural land with housing areas. The area sits at the edge of Córdoba and keeps its rural character with working farms scattered among residential blocks.
The National Institute of Colonization founded this settlement in the mid-20th century as part of Spain's plan to boost rural development. The project aimed to strengthen agricultural production and create new residential communities in the region.
The local markets here display products straight from surrounding farms, connecting urban and rural traditions of Andalusia in everyday ways.
The area is easy to explore on foot since residential zones and agricultural land are close together. It is best to visit early in the morning when local markets are most active and farmers have the widest selection of goods.
This neighborhood shows a rare planning model where houses and farms sit side by side instead of one pushing out the other. This mix lets visitors experience rural life up close while being just minutes away from the city.
