Córdoba's crafts survived Al-Andalus in living workshops: silver filigree, embossed cordobán leather and green-glazed ceramics. Shop the artisan Zoco, the Centro's Calle Cruz Conde boutiques, and the family stores of San Andrés away from the Mezquita's tourist rack.
Andalusia's first gourmet market hall, inside a restored 1877 cast-iron pavilion on the Jardines de la Victoria. Around 30 stalls sell Iberian ham, Montilla-Moriles wine, olive oil and Córdoba cheese. Opens 10:00 daily (kitchen till late); browse the produce and deli counters first.
A 16th-century mudéjar courtyard house turned permanent craft market, run by the city's artisan association. Silversmiths, leatherworkers and potters have open workshops around the patio — you watch filigree being soldered before buying. Open ~10:00-20:00.
Four generations of the Ramírez family embossing and polychroming cordobán and guadamecí leather since 1965. The ground-floor workshop shows tooling of the caliphal geometric panels; shop sells boxes, book covers and wall panels. Mon-Fri 09:00-19:00, Sat till 14:00.
Tasting-led oil shops along Calle Deanes and Manríquez stock Baena and Priego de Córdoba DOP picual and hojiblanca — two of Spain's top denominations, both under an hour from the city. Staff pour comparison tastings before you pick a tin. Open till 21:00.
Córdoba's main shopping artery, running north from Plaza de las Tendillas: Spanish chains, shoe stores and independent fashion boutiques in early-20th-century buildings. Shops open 10:00-14:00 and 17:00-21:00 — the long siesta gap is strictly observed here.
A Córdoba hat house selling the sombrero cordobés — the flat-crowned, wide-brimmed felt hat of Andalusian riders and flamenco singers. Fitted by head measurement in rabbit felt; also panamas and riding caps. Closed Sunday.
Riverside mall by the Guadalquivir with three retail floors, Spanish high-street labels, a supermarket and cinemas. Open 10:00-22:00 including Sundays — useful when Centro boutiques shutter for siesta or the weekend.
Córdoba's long-running independent bookshop, strong on Al-Andalus history, Andalusian cookbooks and local poetry, with a Spanish-language children's section and staff picks on the front table. Evening hours to 21:00.
Studio pottery in the Al-Andalus palette: copper-green and manganese glazes copied from Madinat al-Zahra shards, plus hand-painted patio wall plates like those hung in the Callejas. Pieces are wrapped in bubble film for flights. Opens 10:00.
A neighbourhood food market north of the tourist ring where Córdoba families buy fish, offal for flamenquín, and local pantry goods. Mornings only, closing about 14:00; Tuesday-Saturday. Prices roughly half those in the Judería's souvenir food shops.
The 17th-century arcaded Corredera hosts a flea and antiques market on Sunday mornings; the pedestrianised Calle San Fernando below it is lined year-round with second-hand dealers selling azulejo tiles, old brass and Spanish film posters.
The 1908 bodega's retail counter sells its own Montilla-Moriles fino and Pedro Ximénez, plus PX vinegar and salmorejo-ready oil — all from vineyards 45km south, where the grape is Pedro Ximénez rather than palomino.
