Christmas in Córdoba is a unique opportunity to experience the city under a special atmosphere. From Casa Sirfantas, strategically located in the heart of the Jewish Quarter, we invite you to an unforgettable holiday experience with plans to make the most of this festive season.
The historic center of Córdoba lights up with spectacular Christmas decorations from late November to January 6. Streets like Cruz Conde, Gondomar, and Plaza de las Tendillas become magical settings, perfect for evening strolls. Every day at 7:00 PM, Plaza de las Tendillas delights visitors with live music and captivating light shows for all ages.
Christmas markets are another must-see. Plaza de las Tendillas and Plaza de la Corredera host stalls offering crafts, toys, and typical holiday treats such as mantecados and marzipan. These markets are usually open from 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM, giving you plenty of time to find unique gifts and savor traditional flavors.
If you’re passionate about art, the Julio Romero de Torres Museum is a must-visit. Located just a 2-minute walk from Casa Sirfantas, it houses an impressive collection of works by this renowned Cordoban painter. The museum is open Tuesday to Sunday from 8:30 AM to 3:00 PM, though holiday hours may vary, so it’s advisable to confirm in advance. Nearby, the Andalusian Center for Contemporary Art (C3A) offers a modern and avant-garde perspective on contemporary art. This space is ideal for those seeking a different experience, and during Christmas, it often hosts temporary exhibitions and family-friendly activities.
Córdoba’s nativity tradition comes to life with a route showcasing the city’s most remarkable nativity scenes. Most are open for visits starting December 8 in iconic locations like the Alcázar de los Reyes Cristianos and the Mosque-Cathedral, typically from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM. Additionally, the Alcázar Viejo neighborhood organizes a Living Nativity on December weekends, where locals recreate biblical scenes in a historic setting.
We can’t forget the carol concerts that fill Córdoba’s churches and squares with music. These performances usually take place starting December 15 in venues such as the Church of San Francisco and the Palacio de Viana. At night, the Christmas ambiance becomes even cozier with the aroma of roasted chestnuts wafting through the streets.
To end the holiday season on a high note, the Three Kings Parade on January 5, starting at 5:00 PM, winds through the city’s main streets, bringing joy and wonder to everyone in attendance.
