Fodor's Expert Review La Tinaja

On the river to the east of the city, this bodega-bar has kept its original 18th-century-house layout, which means that you can eat in different rooms as well as outside on the pleasant terrace. The food is traditional, with an emphasis on local produce and Córdoba staples such as mazamorra con atún rojo ahumado (traditional almond soup with smoked tuna) and flamenquín as well as oxtail and salmorejo. Locals flock here for the homemade foie gras and char-grilled meat, which you can enjoy with a glass of Montilla.
