Located across from the Mezquita, Bar Santos is a great place to take a break from sightseeing and have a snack. If you have trouble finding it, just look for the crowd of people lined up against the Mezquita wall that are enjoying their food and drink outdoors. Bar Santos is a very small tapas bar with no seats, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in the delicious food it turns out.
On the menu you will find the dishes that are traditional in Córdoba, such as Salmorejo (a creamy chilled soup made of tomatoes, bread, garlic, vinegar and olive oil), Rabo de Toro (oxtail stew), Morcilla Ibérico (Iberian blood sausage), and a variety of Bocadillos (sandwiches). But what most people come to Bar Santos for is the Tortilla Española (Spanish omelet made with potatoes), for which they have won awards. Besides being absolutely delicious, the Tortilla at Bar Santos is renowned for its size – it’s easily twice as high as a regular tortilla found elsewhere, and many would say it’s also twice as good.
So after seeing the Mezquita, do as the locals and enjoy a slice of tortilla with a cold beer or a nice glass of sherry, and soak up the ambiance of this beautiful city.
