On arrival
The meeting point is the Puerta del Puente, just at the beginning of the Roman Bridge of Cordoba. It is a monumental arch located next to the banks of the Guadalquivir, very easy to identify.
If you are coming from the historic center, just walk towards the Mosque-Cathedral and continue straight on until you reach the bridge. The Puerta del Puente is right in front, between the Calahorra Tower and the Mosque-Cathedral.
If you use Google Maps, search for "Puerta del Puente Córdoba" and it will take you directly to the place. I will be waiting in front of the monument, visible and in plenty of time before the tour starts.
