Obrador San Rafael has run in Córdoba since 1918, and El Manolete came out of its founder's collaboration with the bullfighter of the same name.
OrderA Manolete, then a full pastel cordobés in hojaldre and cabello de ángel.
TipThere are four shops in the city; Alfayatas is the one closest to the old quarter.
Pastelerías Roldán keeps fourteen cafeterias across Córdoba, with the Gran Capitán counter selling pastelón cordobés and manoletes from 07:30.
OrderThe pastelón cordobés, which has its own page on the operator's site.
TipThe Amargacena obrador supplies every branch but is an industrial unit, not a shop you can visit.
La Catalana has baked on Calle San Pablo in Córdoba since 1890 and still works the same sourdough starter, turning out the city's telera loaf.
OrderA telera, the flat-crowned Córdoba loaf that anchors every bowl of salmorejo.
TipMorning trading only; the shutters come down at 14:30 and it does not open Sunday.
Pastelería Savoy has worked in Córdoba since 1969, founded by a third-generation pastry chef and still turning out the classic pastel cordobés.
OrderThe pastel cordobés, hojaldre and cabello de ángel, nothing else needed.
TipProduction moved to a Lope de Rueda obrador in 1982; Maestro Priego López is the shop you want.
David Ruano bakes long-fermentation sourdough in Córdoba with no additives, holding two stars from the Ruta Española del Buen Pan for the work.
OrderA telera, or whichever designer loaf is baked for the restaurants that day.
TipThere is no seating at all, so buy the bread and eat it somewhere else.
Mojaelchurro fries organic churros and sopaipas on Corregidor Luis de la Cerda in Córdoba, closing at 13:00 the way a real churrería should.
OrderSopaipas, the flatter Andalusian fried dough, rather than the churros.
TipIt shuts at 13:00, so this is a first-thing stop and never an afternoon one.
