On this walk you'll follow the Guadalquivir’s story through three centuries of engineering. First, you'll cross the Roman Bridge, a stone marvel that has carried travelers for two millennia. Then you'll slip into the Baños de la Pescadería, where Arab bathers once celebrated the river’s flow. Finally, you'll stand at the medieval Albolafia mill and watch the water turn to grain. Along the way you'll see how water shaped Córdoba’s power, daily life, and cityscape.
