El Barón

Córdoba


Set on a traffic-free, orange tree–shaded plaza in the old city, the outside tables at this unassuming local bar are a lovely place for quiet nocturnal drinks. It has Montilla and other wines, cava (sparkling wine), craft and other beers, and some good snacks including a very tempting chocolate cake.
