Its population is 771,131 (2002),of whom more than 40% live in the capital, Córdoba, and its population density is 56.00/km². The province of Córdoba contains 75 municipalities.
Córdoba is divided into two large areas of similar size but with totally different, often opposing, characteristics: the Sierra Morena in the north and the Campiña (farmlands) in the south, separated by the River Guadalquivir. To the right of the river, the landscape of the Sierra Morena is rugged and many hills are covered with holm oaks and pine forests.
The countryside of Cordoba Province is tremendously speckled. You will view rolling plains, mountain ranges, overpowered villages with baroque churches, Moorish citadels, and flower-rich courtyards. The expanse is famed for its arid white wines.
