Bar Santos is one of the most famous tapas bars in Córdoba. It is located next to the Mezquita-Cathedral, in the historic centre of the city. Since opening in 1966, the bar has become a popular stop for both locals and tourists visiting the area. 

Although the bar itself is very small, it is always busy and full of people enjoying simple and delicious Spanish food.

The Famous Spanish Tortilla

Bar Santos is especially known for its enormous Spanish tortilla. The tortilla is made with eggs, potatoes and olive oil, and it is served in very thick slices.

Some of these tortillas are prepared using around 30 eggs and several kilograms of potatoes, making them much larger than a normal omelette. 

Because the bar is so small, many customers stand outside while eating their slice of tortilla and enjoying the lively atmosphere around the Mezquita.

A Popular Stop in Córdoba

Today Bar Santos remains one of the most iconic places to eat in Córdoba. Its simple food, traditional atmosphere and unique location make it a memorable stop for anyone exploring the historic centre.

For many visitors, trying a slice of tortilla at Bar Santos is part of the authentic experience of visiting Córdoba.
