Between Source of healthrailway tracks, ZumbaconEquality Avenue and the industrial zone of Chinese A new little neighborhood appears, particular by its location, familiar by its vocation and calm by its idiosyncrasy. This is the area known as “Tribeka”, named after one of its urbanizations. The modern buildings, some of which are very strikingly decorated with natural plants, contrast with the neighboring and much older buildings of Valdeolleros, generating a striking contrast. Rafael De-La Hoz’s seal is visible on the blocks bearing the name of the New York neighborhood. Each block has a different feel.
Curiously, the first inhabitants of the area between Fuente de la Salud, Virgen de las Angustias and Sor Ángela de la Cruz streets were not the inhabitants of the modern buildings, not yet built, but precisely the families of the Old Valdeolleros. And when it came to fields, cranes and workers, the playgrounds were already set up, so parents came here with their children despite the noise.
This is the case of two mothers, Sandra Santiago and Laura de la Fuente: “In Saint Rose There are no parks, and here, when everything was solar, they had already built the parks,” says de la Fuente. “It’s beyond Asomadilla Parkbut to access the playground you have to go up,” Santiago explains. “And you also take advantage of the Deza to make purchases,” they both say.
“In Santa Rosa there are no parks, and here, when everything was solar, they had already built the playgrounds”
This Fuente de la Salud supermarket, opening in spring 2023, experiences a constant flow of customers. Due to the layout of the buildings and their character, with a community around them, in the Tribeka district there is practically no space for premises, and therefore for businesses, with the exception of those which open into neighboring buildings also of recent construction. So for now, there is Deza and the pharmacy of Natalia de Alcaraz Montijano. “We started on July 24, 2023,” remembers one of the pharmacy managers, Fernando Lachica. “There are more and more people in the neighborhood, to which must be added the customers who come from the old district of Valdeolleros.”
Viewers of the famous show “The Dog Whisperer”, with César Millán, are used to seeing this trainer on his skates while he slides pulled by one or more animals. This is the case of Begoña de los Llanos Ortega Rayo, who moves, as her last name suggests, like a special sled pulled by her dogs Apolo and Sultana. He lives in one of the most attractive buildings due to its appearance and dedicated to rent, for which he pays 800 euros for a two-bedroom apartment. These properties attract attention for their plant decoration. “I come from Seville and have lived in many places in SpainI chose this neighborhood because it is a very quiet placewithout crime and where you can go out at night alone with or without dogs. He says he goes out with them on skates so the animals can get more exercise, creating this image that is unusual in Córdoba but could become fashionable.
Looking for a new and central location
Several neighbors tell ABC that in this building dedicated to rental there are illustrious tenants, specifically two people who have regularly attended cardiology programs in recent years. They are Julián Contreras and his father, of the same name, respectively son and ex-husband of the unfortunate man. Carmina Ordonez. Neighbors emphasize their kindness and simplicity, as they can be seen as just people walking their dog, this time without skates.
In the common green spaces between the buildings, a father plays volleyball with his daughter. They are Alberto and Lucía Puertas. “We moved a year ago, I was attracted by the fact that it was a new area and also by nostalgia, because I studied at the Ángel de Saavedra Institute.” The family first thought about moving to Arruzafa’s new home, but they considered the place too far from everything.
This proximity is precisely one of the strong points highlighted by many people who have settled in a neighborhood where there is still a notable number of empty apartments which will gradually be filled. “We lived in Ciudad Jardín, but we chose this area for its quality, tranquility and proximity to the center”declares Juan José Bersabé, who is walking with his little dog Chucky. He was one of the first residents of the neighborhood, since he moved on March 1, 2022. However, he reports some problems with hooligans who move around to end up in the streets, like a bottle; and that many people who park in the open space near the supermarket take a prohibited direction when exiting and heading towards the supermarket, with the danger this poses for pedestrians. “In that regard, I miss the police acting a little more.”

Víctor González and María José Rodríguez are a couple and have since moved Look closely, although for professional reasons they have moved up to a dozen times. They moved last December. They wanted to transform their last house into an apartment, leaving the stairs behind for example. “We are very satisfied, even though we now have less space,” says González. “From above we can even see Almodóvar Castle, yes, in small size”she jokes in conversation.
Jesús Velasco also lived very little in the area, barely a year. This man from Cordoba, for professional reasons, came from Pamplona and chose the place for the swimming pool. “What I like most about the neighborhood is that it’s fresh, it’s quite airy”. And indeed, it is a region where the breeze blows everywhere. Agustín Jiménez arrives at his gate with his daughter Julia. They lived in Zumbacón and wanted to move to a larger, higher apartment with a terrace. “The best thing about the neighborhood is the common areas, its good communication and the fact that we have the Deza, although we hope that the whole part that goes to Asomadilla, which is somewhat dilapidated, will be urbanized.” Even with multiple fields open where it is to be built and an area planned for gardens that borders Chinales, this neighborhood can still be considered under construction. But life already fills its streets.
The price range
According to a recent study by consulting firm Activum Real State, Fuente de la Salud currently has 1,090 housing units under developmentwhich makes this area the main area of real estate development and investment in Córdoba, since it represents more than half of the total new homes in the city. And all this in a series of very limited blocks, which means that such importance in the construction world is limited, in comparison, to a very small size.
