Paseo del Buen Pastor

Good vibe, in the middle of Nueva Cordoba. It encompasses an entire block and a half. Starting at the entrance of El Paseo de buen pastor hall, then visit the Moern art museum, pass by the fountain and enjoy a coffee with alfajore, or icerceam, or it could be an ahthentic meal, Starbucks, Burger King or just a beer with friends. Finish at la Iglesia de los Cappuchinos which is gigantic and very artistic "sculptures, paintings and 1600s religious relics and decor. Also take the tour to the top, it's awesome and you get to meet the gargoyles face to face. Everything still intact.

Chill place in Cordoba to relax and enjoy ice cream or coffee from nearby cafes or simply just people watch. Good view of the church!

Great place to take a walk and admire the architecture of the place and the surrounding. Everything here is good for children except that the people here smokes too much and somehow they all like to smoke near the walking places, so that's the only bad thing about this place.

On Sunday I saw dancing waters at 6 pm and then at 8 pm it was very crowded but beautiful overall lots of things to do and eat around the area as well

Free! Great relaxing municipal building. Extremely clean. We were lucky to view a local art installation and to sit and relax for a few minutes on many of the available benches. Highly recommended stop. Plan an hour or less. We went back by in the evening to see the spactacular fountain light show.

Lovely art gallery and culinary centre.

No events going on. Building is beautiful on the inside and worth stopping by.

Beautiful place. It was closed.

Ehhh... the Paseo del Buen Pastor was talked up pretty highly in our Lonely Planet guidebook, but I thought it was just OK. Maybe we caught it at a less exciting time when there wasn't much going on, but it wasn't the happening nightlife spot that our book made it out to be. By day, the Paseo is an attractive building with covered outdoor walkways that have free art exhibitions. (Apparently it was a women's prison for about a century before being updated into a cultural space.) When we were there, it was a contemporary photography exhibit by local photographers. The pictures were interesting, but they were so cheaply mounted (I assume because of weather exposure) that the overall effect was a little cheesy and amateurish. There seems to be an indoor art/event space, but it was closed off and didn't appear to have anything going on. There are several pieces of cool outdoor art -- our favorite incorporated the illusion of a swimmer's "reflection" on the surface of the decorative pool. Outdoor benches and seating are all over, and it's a nice spot to take a break in the shade and rest for a bit. At night, the building is colorfully lit and the square livens up. People stroll through, walk their dogs or let them play off-leash, and couples and groups sit everywhere to hang out. We sat for a while and enjoyed the people-watching. There were a few buskers working the crowd and some kids trying aggressively to sell trinkets, but overall the atmosphere was pleasant and felt safe. There just wasn't as much going on as I'd expected. Overall, a nice stop as you're walking around Cordoba and worth checking to see if there are any interesting exhibits or performances happening, but not a must-see.
