Were you looking for information about Córdoba, the city in Spain?
Introduction
Córdoba is the capital of the Argentine province with the same name. Although it is the second-largest city in the country, it has a distinctly small-town feel to it. Córdoba is mainly known for its university; for tourists, the city is primarily worth a visit because of its pleasant centre, good restaurants, excellent nightlife and beautiful surroundings.
Sights and Activities
The main sight associated with Córdoba are the Sierras Chicas, a range of hills/mountains close to the city. It is an excellent spot for hikes if you find the Andes a tad too challenging.
Events and Festivals
- Festival de Doma Y Folclore de Jesús María
- Festival Nacional de Folclore - Cosquín
Weather
The weather is quite pleasant year-round. Summers can be hot though, lasting from December to February. Temperatures can rise up to 40 °C or more during the day, though usually it is more bearable with around 30 degrees on average. Nights are pleasantly warm with 15 to 18 degrees. Winters last from June to September with temperatures around 15 to 20 °C during the day and between 5 and 10 at night. Occasional frost and even a flock of snow are not unheard of.
