We say goodbye in no way one 2025 good For Cordoba. He mastered positivealthough there was negative elements. I’m starting there so that the article doesn’t have a bitter aftertaste at the end. To choke on grapes is to remember that three … the districts of the capital are repeated among the fifteen poorest in Spain or those that come to mind Rains in March and November this showed that we continue to have flooding problems. And the “Grinch” will appear to us if we think of the increasingly alarming demographic situation in our province or the eternal forgetting of the necessary conversion of the dangerous N-432 into a highway. And we mourned the loss of Antonio Fernández Díaz “Fosforito”.
Fortunately, among the bad news, we must not include one which could have been very serious but which remained in a state huge scare: he fire in August of the mosque-cathedralwhich, if it had gone further, would have cruelly brought us an enormous sack of coal this year. Because this monument is an inseparable part of the Cordovan people and one of the engines of our economy. But the self-protection plan worked perfectly. The Cabildo has demonstrated once again the care and attention with which it treats this gem. And the next day, he got to work on a restoration that should be completed by the end of 2026.
It was the big shock that contrast with placidity of the economy. This is reflected in labor marketIn constant improvement. In November, the number of people employed was 316,294. There are 3,770 neighbors who got the greatest gift possible in the last 365 days: a job. And the prospects are to sound the noise blowers. Córdoba is experiencing a vigorous economic renaissance, with powerful initiatives of expansion of activity (Hitachi and Cunext) and the arrival of new companies. In the fiscal year that is ending, Zigor Corporación has arrived; Indra Group; Oesia; Ghenova Engineering or HaloTech. Some of them landed attracted by the Logistics Base. This is the macro project with which we made a splash and with which we aspire to finally improve our development. In 2026, this will start to become a reality: Defense launched this month a call for tenders for 395 million euros for the construction of its buildings, with a view to opening in 2029.
There was more positive questions. They resonate in our heads with the force of the neighborhoods that prelude the grapes every December 31. This is the case of take off at the end of airport; of the open of the eternally awaited North Round -its construction begins in January-; the election of our city as Mediterranean Capital of Culture and Dialogue in 2027; from the celebration of the Via Crucis Magno or the comfortable salvation of Córdoba on its return to the Second Division. With the good taste in the mouth that 2025 leaves us, I raise my glass to youreaders. I wish you the best in 2026.
