- Groups of 15, book lent by the library
- Half the walks, with Casa Árabe
What it is
“Leer y Pasear” combines a book club with a city walk: the group reads a book and then, on a Saturday morning, tours the places in Córdoba that appear in it, reading and discussing passages on the exact spot that inspired the author. For the 2026-2027 season the Red Municipal de Bibliotecas is expanding the programme to 13 walks, half of them in collaboration with the Casa Árabe de Córdoba and focused on works set in the Andalusi period. They are led by Matilde Cabello and Máximo Ortega. The first walk follows “El cirujano de Al-Ándalus”, by Antonio Cavanillas de Blas, and whenever possible the book's author is invited to the meeting or the walk.
