Overview

The Secrets Free Tour, 2 Hours is a GuruWalk walk run by Córdoba A Pie, meeting at the Roman Temple, Calle Capitulares. The guide's GuruWalk page frames it around the least familiar side of Cordoba, the one the operator says holds the most secrets. The meeting point is the Roman Temple, next to the town hall, and from there the guide leads a walk that pauses at a series of stops, telling the story of each place in Spanish. The tone the operator promises is informative but light, with entertainment kept in the mix rather than a dry monument-by-monument lecture.

The focus is the working streets between Plaza de la Corredera, Plaza del Potro and Plaza de las Tendillas, with narrow lanes such as the Calleja de las Flores and the Calleja del Pañuelo worked in along the way. The operator describes the Axerquía as a real discovery and presents the walk as a way to know that side of the city without money being a barrier. It suits travellers comfortable following a guide in spoken Spanish.

The tour runs in Spanish, so it is aimed at Spanish speakers or confident listeners rather than English-only visitors. There is no pickup; everyone gathers at the Roman Temple and the walk sets off from there.

Itinerary

Stop	What Happens
Meet at the Roman Temple	The group gathers at the Roman Temple, next to the town hall. The walk starts here and covers roughly two hours in total.
Calleja de las Flores and Calleja del Pañuelo	The route begins among the narrow flowered lanes off the old town, where the guide pauses to explain each spot.
Calle de las Cabezas and Plaza del Potro	The walk continues through the lane of the heads to Plaza del Potro, one of the stops named in the operator's route.
Plaza de la Corredera	A stop in the great arcaded square of the Axerquía, listed as the first named square in the itinerary section of the walk.
Roman Temple stop	The temple columns appear again as a stop on the route, this time explained in depth rather than just as a meeting point.
Plaza de las Tendillas	The walk ends its route in Plaza de las Tendillas, the final stop named in the operator's route, where the guide finishes and payments are settled.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points from the operator's own description will help you prepare for this walk.

Language. The tour runs in Spanish only.
Meeting point. There is no pickup of any kind. Everyone meets at the Roman Temple, beside the town hall, and the walk departs from there.
Pace and duration. The walk lasts two hours with brief stops along the route. The operator's description mentions pauses at each place rather than a continuous march, so expect a steady walking pace with regular standing breaks.
Paying the guide. Booking is free on GuruWalk. At the end you pay the guide what you think the walk was worth, which is how the operator keeps the tour open to every budget.

Duration	Language	Meeting point	What it costs
2 hours	Spanish	Roman Temple, Calle Capitulares	Free, pay what you want

What to bring. No what-to-bring list is given. Comfortable shoes for two hours of walking in the old town, water in warm weather, and whatever you plan to tip the guide cover the basics.
Where it goes. The route stays on the Axerquía side of the city, the area the operator describes as the unknown part of Cordoba. Travellers mainly interested in that less-visited quarter will find the walk matches what it advertises.

Common issues. The main practical limit is language: this walk is Spanish only, and English-speaking visitors who book it by mistake will struggle to follow. The operator notes that the route has 6 stops but only the first 3 are published in detail, so the later part of the route is not set out anywhere.
