The Alcázar de los Reyes Cristianos sits at the southwestern edge of the Juderia, where the old city meets the Guadalquivir riverbank. After an hour among the Roman mosaics and terraced gardens, the Campo Santo de los Mártires square outside the exit has a handful of terrace tables — pleasant for a beer but not serious cooking. Serious cooking is two blocks north. El Churrasco has been working the charcoal grill on Calle Romero since 1975 and remains the area's best kitchen for traditional Cordoban meat dishes. Casa Mazal serves Sephardic-influenced dishes — lamb with dried fruit, aubergine with honey — that make historical sense in this quarter. Budget 20–35€ per person with wine; a menú del día at lunch drops that to 12–15€ at the more practical tables nearby.
