The way is important. The natural landscape’s wealth of Córdoba makes visitors enjoy not only the destination, but also the way. In the whole territory, crossed by mountains, valleys, and rivers, the identity of its people and the strength of their work have built ways with their own identity.
Going along these ways offers a multipurpose tourism; one with cultural, natural and culinary nuances, or even allows us to enjoy health tourism, depending on the ways and the stops each visitor decides to choose.
