Twelve wishes for Cordoba after the bells begin 2026

1

Transportation

The N-432 highway and the Olivar highway

The province of Córdoba continues to need two fundamental roads, namely the conversion of the N-432 into a highway that crosses the territory from northwest to southeast, and the Olivar Highway south.

The first continues to accumulate deaths in recent months, while the government continues to postpone the construction of the sections of Córdoba, also hiding behind environmental problems. The second is progressing slowly, with very little construction yet.

Intimidation

The fight against harassment

In recent years, society has become aware of the need to fight against school bullying and harassment, which have become sad news due to what is happening in schools and institutes. Each year, between 250 and 300 files are initiated in the province.

Not everyone makes it to the end and the number of those who manage to prove their case is very small, but the educational community and the Administration They fight so that those who suffer from this reality receive help and are not alone.

Industry

The Logistics Base and Rinconada Park

In 2026, we will have to see the new realities of one of Córdoba’s major economic projects of recent decades: the Logistics base of the Army, which advances on its path promoted by the Ministry of Defense, but also with the participation of the Town Hall and the Council.

He La Rinconada Parkattached to the complex and fundamental for its operation, must be one of the next realities so that the idea continues to grow and with it also the investment and proximity to the industry.

Environment

Caring for Guadalquivir

If the heavy rainfall of recent months continues, 2026 could be a year to continue looking ahead. Guadalquivirwhich continues to structure the territory, even if we do not always give it the attention it deserves. In the capital, controlling spontaneously growing vegetation that has altered its traditional image is a challenge.

In other places, actions are also needed against possible flooding that could occur when the precipitation They are big.

Heritage

The growth of Medina Azahara

The declaration of Medina Azahara being listed as a World Heritage Site in 2018 has meant a greater dissemination of its values ​​and, although it has continued to grow, there also remain challenges in the way visitors arrive.

In 2026, it will be necessary to completely restore the Salón Rico, which could be visited despite the works in recent months, but in the near future it will have to be integrated into the normal circuit and show all its splendor again after a long wait.

Collapse

Waiting in court

The administration of Justice shows symptoms of collapse: there are many more problems than can be dealt with, which leads to an accumulation of work and therefore it is not possible to provide an outlet for everything that citizens need.

Pending cases, according to data from last December, already number 70,000, or 12 percent more than a year ago, which has an impact on the entire process and therefore on the justice chain.

Health

Coverage of medical places

He Queen Sofia Hospital Cordoba will soon inaugurate the new building of the maternal and child outpatient clinic, but the health system has needs, such as filling doctor positions, especially in summer.

Primary care continues to present problems, such as waiting during busy periods, and particularly in summerwith the holidays. These are issues that need to be addressed with a stronger staff of doctors and nurses caring for patients.

Social services

Caring for the homeless

The city of Córdoba and the province are going through a period of economic boom which has helped reduce unemployment, but that does not mean that there are not inequalities and that some people do not suffer the effects of poverty.

In recent months, the number of homeless people has increased, who have to live on the street, and not always the resources that take care of them, whether from the Administration, Red Cross or Caritasenough to give them a roof over their head. The latest data speaks of more than 450.

9

Population

Fewer and fewer inhabitants

“Define population» is a challenge that is often mentioned when talking about what is happening in Córdoba and in many places in the province. This is the way to meet the challenge of depopulation: there are far fewer births than deaths and many young people are leaving.

The province lost more than 3,000 inhabitants last year and is one of the two, with Zamora, which is losing the most population. Job opportunities and improved living standards can be key to not continuing to lose residents.

10

Communication

Stop train delays

Córdoba was one of the first three cities to have the AVE and its voucher strategic position This led to subsequent lines also stopping in the city. Living here and working in Seville has always been an option with the good functioning of the train.

However, in recent years, delays and problems have increased and the sight of the station full of waiting travelers has become all too common. THE economy and society waits for the moment when normality returns.

11

Culture

A concert hall

The concert calendar is increasingly intense during the summer in Córdoba, with events like the Califa Fest in The Arenaland the recitals that take place in the arenas and which serve to face the summer with music in the open air.

Winter, however, is different: Córdoba does not have a closed venue to hold large-format events when the weather has already changed. The demand from musicians Orchestrasupported by citizens, has not yet found an echo in the institutions.
