About this tour

What to expect
You'll start with a mobile access code that unlocks the quest narrative on your phone. As you move through Córdoba's old town, you'll receive location-based clues that prompt you to examine specific architectural details, observe patterns in courtyard layouts, or decipher hints embedded in actual landmarks. Each puzzle solved advances Mateo's story and reveals another layer of Córdoba's past. The game rewards curiosity—lingering in plazas, studying façades, and reading inscriptions often yield answers. Navigation is straightforward thanks to the GPS map, though you'll spend genuine time exploring narrow medieval passages that most visitors rush through. Solving all ten challenges takes roughly 90 minutes at a relaxed pace.
Good to know
Bring a charged phone and consider downloading the app beforehand to avoid data delays. The quest works year-round, though summer heat means starting early is sensible. Strollers and service animals are welcome. No live guide means you set the rhythm entirely—perfect if crowds irritate you, though you won't have local colour or quick answers to tangential questions.
