Bar Santos, the most famous bit of Spanish omelette.

It is a typical place where the most typical Spanish omelette in Cordoba is served next to a side of the Mosque. But at the same time so complicated and meritorious of doing.

And if the place is full, always you can take the lid and go outside to taste it while contemplating the Mosque wall. The site is privileged.
