And while seeing the Mezquita, walk across the street to Bar Santos, where people come for just one reason: the massive tortilla española.

This place defines "hole in the wall" and is best located via the ever-present line out the door. When you finally get to the bar, order the tortilla española...this is the most flavorful, most gigantic tortilla you may ever see. Pick up a beer or a tinto de verano ("vargas" in Córdoba) and take your plastic fork and plate outside to enjoy your snack on the steps of the Mezquita. Yum.
