What Makes It Magical
Located in the central region of Veracruz, Córdoba is a city bursting with customs and culture. All around it, you can enjoy the beauty of its lush vegetation studded with waterfalls, rivers, and mountains, presenting one-of-a-kind settings for unforgettable experiences.
Córdoba Is a Space Overflowing with Nature and Architecture
If you are into nature, you can’t miss your chance to walk through its parks and green spaces. Plus, you can bird-watch, hike, and ride bikes.
Its history goes along with the colonial-era neoclassical architecture, which can be seen in Córdoba’s cathedral and the Palacio Municipal, or town hall. They are truly treasures sculpted in stone, offering you a glimpse into the past.
The historic center is a lovely place to spend some time. The gazebo forms the epicenter of a quiet afternoon accompanied by the singing of the birds that fly to and fro among the art nouveau-style lampposts complete with wrought iron detailing, and up into the church’s atrium.
Cuisine to Delight Your Tastebuds
You simply must sample the rich mole sauce that comes in a range of flavors, reflecting the fertile land and organic, local ingredients. The little steamed tamales, some Veracruz-style enchiladas, and traditional candy will make your mouth water! And, if coffee is your thing, you should know that Córdoba is a coffee lover’s paradise.
