Patio del Zoco, Córdoba, Spain, Historic shopping center in Judería district, Córdoba, Spain

The Patio del Zoco features a quadrangular courtyard with porticoed galleries on three sides and a staircase leading to the second floor.

Originally a 16th-century noble house belonging to the Armenta family, the building later became the Casa de las Bulas where citizens purchased religious documents.

Local artisans maintain traditional crafts in dedicated workshops, producing silver pieces, ceramics, and woodwork that represent Córdoba's heritage.

The marketplace contains two entrances, accessible from both Averroes Street and Judíos Street, with numerous shops selling regional handicrafts.

The third gallery of the upper floor connects directly to the Bullfighting Museum, creating an unexpected architectural connection between commerce and culture.

Hidden sites in Andalusia: troglodyte villages, medieval castles, and natural parks

Andalusia offers many sites away from typical tourist routes. This southern region of Spain is home to ancient troglodyte dwellings in Guadix, mountain villages like Zahara de la Sierra perched around medieval castles, and natural parks such as Cabo de Gata-Níjar extending over 50 kilometers of coast. Geological formations include the red volcanic rocks of Riotinto, a result of 5,000 years of mining, and canyons housing 240 Bronze Age dolmens in Gorafe park. Villages like Setenil de las Bodegas feature unique architecture, with houses built beneath natural rock overhangs shaped by the Trejo River. The Castle of La Calahorra, built in 1509 at an altitude of 1200 meters, combines Spanish fortifications with Italian Renaissance decoration. Further north, Baños de la Encina hosts the Burgalimar Castle dating from 968, surrounded by extensive olive groves. These sites showcase different facets of Andalusian heritage, from prehistoric remains to Moorish inscriptions, in environments ranging from mountains to Mediterranean coastal zones.
