Cordoba is a great city with a super student vibe and a few up and coming neighbourhoods. The architecture is rather European and there are many cultural events and museums around.
I did two walking tours in the city. The first was around New Cordoba and Guemes. These are the student and bohemian neighbourhoods respectively.
A funny story relating to the polar bear statue in one of the photos: The statue was made to commemorate the polar bears in the Antarctic! The only problem is that there are no polar bears in the Antarctic! When the politicians found this out they tried to keep it secret. However, some revolutionaries stole the statue and it ended up left in the middle of traffic for 4 months…so not much of a secret!
The second tour was around the historical centre.
I had noticed in Mendoza, and now also in Cordoba, that half the city parks and many sidewalks are all dug up and being improved and wondered why- for a country in economic crisis. The answer is pretty simple: it is election year this year :).

In South Africa in election years we are given load shedding, which often leading to water shortage.
