Cordobanes: the art of leather in Córdoba
The term “cordobán” has a Mozarabic origin and, as we can see, refers directly to the Andalusian city. Córdoba is well known for the art of leather, as this is where the cordobán is produced most: a type of tanned goat or billy-goat skin. What makes cordobán of great quality is that it is tanned with sumach; this gives the skin a great flexibility and durability, so it can be used in many objects.
The technique of production of the cordobán was developed in the Muslim Córdoba in the 8th century. In ancient times, it was used to decorate chests, trunks, cases, shoes, among others, but today we can find this art applied also in belts, ornaments and many other products. The city usually offers cordobanes to the great personalities that visit Córdoba, such as the Spanish Royal House. What do you think? It is a perfect souvenir that you can take with you from this unique city. You can also buy them in one of the most special streets of Córdoba, Calleja de las Flores, in the Meryan workshop, where you can also see the work of the leather craftsmen in person.
Keyrings
Surely you have already taken many keyrings from many cities, because you want to collect them or because it is the souvenir that is never missing. You can carry in your pocket the memories of your trip to Córdoba. Moreover, it is the perfect gift for your friends or family, who will surely want you to bring them something from one of the most beautiful cities in Spain. On the corner of Romero street, number 2, you will find a small shop that sells a large quantity of these souvenirs every day.

As we have already told you, if you are one of those who like to have your fridge full of memories, don’t worry; there will be no lack of places in Cordoba where you can buy a magnet for yourself or as a gift for someone. Many tourists look for this type of souvenir, as they are also very cheap and are a star gift. In the small Artesanía Lili shop, on Deanes street, you will find a great variety of magnets.
