1. Cordoba is a center for flamenco
Flamenco is a native artform famous in Spain that includes singing, guitar playing, vocalizations, handclapping and finger snapping and sometimes one beautiful lady dancing as well.

Most of the traditional shops in Cordoba closes during the afternoon heat or only at 1:30pm so it is a great and better idea to do the shopping of souvenirs and so before lunch. Although, the big shops and malls are open the whole day, who wouldn’t want their amazing traditional souvenirs from Cordoba.
