The writer and cultural manager Paz Casas Nóblega presents a new bilingual digital book that invites you to visit 18 places called Cordova in different parts of the planet.
One name, many destinations. With that premise, the writer Paz Casas Nóblega surprises again with the publication of “From Córdoba to Córdovas”a free bilingual digital book that proposes a literary and geographical journey through different locations in the world that share the name “Córdoba” or “Cordova”.
The volume, edited by Editorial Twinning (Córdoba, Argentina), brings together eighteen places named Cordovawith “V”, distributed in United States, Canada, Mexico, Peru and the Philippinesand explores its history, geography, identity and cultural traits. The objective, according to the author, is to “build symbolic bridges and promote brotherhood between communities that, although distant, are united by a name and a shared root.”
The concept that guides this delivery is “Cordova with V for travel“, an extension of the publisher’s previous work, which had already investigated the “Córdobas with B” of Ibero-America. “We wanted to continue exploring how the same name is transformed according to language, history or geography, and how these variations also tell a common story,” explains Casas Nóblega.
Among the Cordovas that the publication highlights are:
-
Cordova, Tennesseethe most populated, with nearly 80 thousand inhabitants.
-
Cordova, Alaskasurrounded by snow-capped mountains and impressive landscapes.
-
Cordova, Minnesotafounded in 1858, considered the most historic.
-
Cordova, Nebraskathe smallest, with barely 90 inhabitants.

The research also reveals that many of these communities were founded between the 19th and 20th centuries, some in homage to the Spanish Cordobaand others linked to local families or place names adapted to English.
Outside the United States, the book travels Cordova (Philippines)with more than 60 thousand inhabitants on the island of Mactan; two Peruvian communities with that name; and a Mexican one located at more than 3,000 meters above sea level.
The publication completes the series started with “Las Córdobas with a B of Ibero-America”where the homonymous cities of the region were reviewed, including the Argentine Cordobafounded in 1573 by Jerónimo Luis de Cabrera, and the Spanish Cordobaof Roman origin, which gave its name to all the others.
Editorial Twinningfounded in 2016 in Córdoba, has been promoting cultural projects that link cities through literature, history and tourism for eight years. Her work seeks to “document shared memories and rescue the invisible ties that unite communities beyond their geographical borders.”
