Córdoba. Plaza de la Corredera

North of Plaza del Potro is the grand 17th-century Plaza de la Corredera, a square with an elaborate history of public entertainment and gory showbiz. This was the site of Córdoba's Roman amphitheatre (where, no doubt, gladiator blood was spilled), and the location for horse races, violent bullfights and horrific Inquisition burnings.
Thankfully, all of that is in the past, and nowadays the extensively restored square hosts tame rock concerts and other events . A daily fruit market is held here and on Saturday there's a lively flea market selling stuff like secondhand clothes, household items and bric-a-brac.
