Zoco - Artisan Market in Cordoba, Andaluzia - Spain

Halfway between the Mosque-Cathedral and Almodóvar door, next to the Plaza de Maimonides, you can visit this spot so unique: the souk Municipal de Córdoba.

Also known as Craft Market because in this place have their workshop several craftsmen from Cordoba. It is set in a Moorish-style building with two floors and a magnificent arcaded courtyard. Established in the Jewish Quarter in the mid-1950s, this Craft Market was the first created in Spain.

It is an ideal place not only to find local products but also to see how works are made since they are the same craftsmen who make their work in the eyes of visitors . At this point we can find leather craftsmen, leather goods, ceramics, as well as renowned filigree of Cordoba. Certainly, leather products are highly demanded for their outstanding quality and tradition as their appearance in Córdoba dates back to the arrival of the Muslims , around the eighth century.
