History of Taverns

In 1868, Spain was going through difficult times when a republic was established in the country. In Córdoba, a deep rift emerged—a social and economic crisis that shook the foundations of thousands of families. As with all crises that affect the core of society, social movements arose to address the situation, and in particular, one prominent guild—the Cordoban silversmiths—found a way to help each other. On October 17, 1868, one of the most deeply rooted and influential institutions in our city was founded: the Mutual Association of Cordoban Silversmiths, popularly known as the Society of Silversmiths. They soon realized that their activities were not enough to support their fellow citizens. Thus, resourceful men and women with great imagination decided to open a "wine shop," which started in 1872 on San Francisco Street and was named Sociedad Plateros, creating what is now presumably the oldest tavern in Córdoba.

The solidarity of these people and their entrepreneurial spirit allowed professionals from various fields to adapt to a new profession, giving taverns a deep-rooted spirit of solidarity and inspiration.

The tavern initially gained popularity as a place to sell and enjoy wine, along with engaging in lively conversations in good company. Over time, the number of taverns has increased, making these spaces witnesses to the city’s history and culture, and gathering places for the best artists, both local and beyond. This is why taverns today represent the essential spaces, places, or communities that uphold part of Córdoba’s recreational, wisdom, and social heritage. Spending time in a Cordoban tavern allows travelers to experience a unique and historical journey, transporting them and evoking sensations of past places and experiences.

Today, taverns offer a diverse range of local wines and gastronomy, with countless recipes and ingredients to satisfy the most unique tastes. In taverns, you cannot miss the Montilla-Moriles wine or the fifty-fifty, a recipe that combines equal parts sweet wine (Pedro Ximénez) with fino, although the proportion can vary to the consumer’s preference.

While numerous taverns exist in the city today, only a select few will be able to carry the "Historic" designation according to the new classification by the Córdoba City Council. To qualify, a tavern must have been in continuous operation for 75 years in the city and offer traditional Cordoban cuisine. Discover them for yourself!
