Cordovan traditional food
Cordovan food is a perfect mix of the Arab, Roman and Jewish influences. Here are a few suggestions: "flamenquin" (rolled pork meat filled with Serrano ham), "salmorejo" (cold tomato cream), "berenjenas con miel" (aubergines with honey),"Rabo de toro" (oxtail — it may sound weird but it's delicious), "mazamorra" (almond-based cold cream), "pastel cordobés" (Cordoba's traditional cake with pureed pumpkin filling).

Eat like a local
When you go to a genuine bar or tavern during mealtimes, you'll realize there are no individual dishes. Your only option is sharing. "Tapas" are small portions, "raciones" (full portion) or "medias raciones" (half portion) are bigger, and they are supposed to be shared by everybody from the same plate.
Ungaphoswa
Drink like a local
Beer is usually served on tap so if you want a specific brand, ask for a bottle. Beer is available in two sizes: "tubo" (long glass) and "caña"(smaller glass).
Don't leave without tasting our famous white Montilla-Moriles. Pedro Ximénez is a wine original from Cordoba as well; it's very sweet and excellent for dessert. And if you think you're ballsy, order a "fity-fity", a combination of fino' (white wine) with sweet wine.
Another typical drink is the "vargas", a mix of red wine with soda or lemonade.

LUNCHTIME AND PARTY TIME
LUNCHTIME is from 01.30 PM to 04.00 PM and dinner is
from 08.30 PM to 11.30 PM. Bars, taverns and restaurants in
the city center and touristic areas offer a timetable
adapted to you.
PARTY TIME. Bars and pubs close later (2.00 AM, 4.00 AM
or 7.00 AM) from Thursday to Saturday. Cordoba is not a big city, so don't expect many bars open after midnight the rest of the week (except in summer).
