Nowadays Córdoba is quite an active city. Shows and cultural events are daily programmed throughout the many flourishing spaces the city has to that end. We have gathered here the most relevant sites in the web, so you are at all times informed about what is happening in the city.
This first edition of FLORA brought 8 international floral artists that transformed the Festival’s chosen patios into 8 unrecognizable stunning spaces. Located in some of the most representative buildings of Córdoba, this works have resulted in a delightful little tour through memory, art and heritage. These ephemeral floral installations will be open to the general public from the 20th to the 29th of October.
“Lovely, relaxing stay”
We only had one night in this hotel unfortunately. Our room was lovely and the shower and bathroom huge.
kleines, tolles hotel. Ganz persönlich geführtes Hotel, in einem historischen Gebäude modern interpretiert. Sehr geschmackvoll, sauber und ruhig. Zu erwähnen ist das gesamte Personal, welches bei Empfehlungen für Restaurants und anderen Fragen immer tolle Tipps gegeben haben. Die Zimmer sind sehr unterschiedlich. Wir hatten ein sehr kleines, kuscheliges Zimmer im 1. Stock. Für drei Nächte völlig ausreichend. Bei Temperaturen um 40 Grad haben wir die kleine Dach-Terrasse leider nicht genießen können, sonst ein toller Ort, um mal zu relaxen. Alles in allem ein schöner Aufenthalt. Danke an Carmen , Gerardo und sein Team!
perfect stay in cordoba. Beautiful quite place in centre of Cordoba with very gentle, even "zen" owner. Design hotel room Excellent "fresh" breakfast Private parking space nearby. All you need for a beautiful stay in Cordoba!
"La atención fue excelente.
El diseño del hotel inmejorable.
La ubicación, sin estar en el centro, era perfecta a la hora de comer, cenar o tomar una copa"
"Excelente"
Es un hotel muy tranquilo, bien ubicado. El trato excelente y el desayuno, inmejorable. Las habitaciones tienen buen tamaño, con camas cómodas. Todo está muy limpio y mimado, hasta el olor, muy agradable por las flores que decoran el hotel. Muy recomendable.
Hotel tranquille et moderne.
L'accueil est parfait, la localisation de l'hôtel est idéale car à proximité des activités tout en étant très calme. La décoration des chambres est sobre et moderne. Elles sont spacieuses et lumineuses, le tout organisé autour d'un joli patio.
My Favorite Hotel in Spain, maybe the whole of Europe
"Se respira un ambiente relajado y tranquilo cuando traspasas la puerta del hotel. Excelente hotel para una escapada a Cordoba, detalles cuidados, desayuno y habitación perfectos. Volveremos."
Peaceful and beautiful.
Very central in Cordoba, peaceful, calm, beautiful room, friendly staff, lovely stay. Its not v obvious and chintzy which some places in Cordoba can be. Next time we will plan ahead and ask for the meditation session too.
“Un diseño moderno y altamente confortable”
La atención personalizada de los dueños y todo el staff es impecable.
El desayuno es una explosión de sabores.
"A fantastic renovation"
So cool. Whitewashed rooms with stained concrete floors. Simple modern furnishings. Great rainforest shower with frosted glass doors. Lots of natural light. Interior courtyard with a lounge. Pretty table setting for breakfast - coffee, homemade cake, toast with olive oil, tomato and shaved Iberico ham. Very friendly staff... Highly recommend this beautiful place.
Luxurious hospitality. When we got to Córdoba it was 108ºF and we could not be more miserable. Then we walked into Viento 10 and Gerrardo, the owner, greeted us with refreshing lemonade and a friendly conversation, exactly what we needed. The rest followed suit, with his recommendations for restaurants and the beautiful room and amenities, which included access to a spa.........
Cordoba merece un hotel como este. Maravilloso trabajo de rehabilitación para conseguir un espacio único y muy agradable...acogedor...bien climatizado y con espacios higiénicos muy modernos y cómodos. ...buena ubicación y un trato muy simpatico
"For design and atmosphere lovers"
Viento10 is a perfect place to explore Cordoba. All sightseeings in walking distance. The hotel has a great architecture, rooms around a "patio". Room 7 spacious and stylish. Parking easy and close. Gerardo and his team gave us a warm wellcome and a delicious breakfast.
Hidden Gem
This hotel was such a special surprise. It was hidden away on a tiny cobblestone street in the quietest part of town. Immaculately clean with wonderful personal hospitality and beautifully decorated. I would stay there again with pleasure. I had a wonderful breakfast on departure day.
“Lindo hotel cerca a la mezquita. La decoración es muy moderna y minimalista"
“CARMEN ES EL ALMA DEL HOTEL.”
Sinceramente, nuestra experiencia en el hotel fue fantástica gracias a la impecable atención de Carmen, su encargada de recepción. Un placer haberte conocido!.
la perfection.Petit hôtel parfaitement décoré de façon moderne tendance zen. Chambre spacieuse calme grande. Un propriétaire parfait disponible et attentionné , le meilleur petit déjeuner pris dans un hôtel en Espagne. Nous sommes repartis enchantés. Seul bémol , il est très difficile de trouver le même hôtel dans une autre ville, on est déçu après avoir séjourné dans cet endroit.......
“Diseño y atención.”
Un lujo tener un jaccuzzi privado para tí.
Nos recomendaron sitios para cenar estupendos. Gracias a las chicas.
I am a sworn amateur when it comes to photography. I have, nonetheless, learned how to capture some of the essence of the Mezquita. I am not a specially gifted photographer, I consider myself merely a smart amateur, but I think I can help you juice this ancient construction.
So, let’s begin. Once you are done with the guided tour –that is if you booked one–, pull away from the group, the time has come to wander on your own, the natural state of the photographer. Wander and wander around with no rush, inside and out, take your time, with a little bit of luck you shall run into some great pictures.
Also, read something about the Mezquita before the visit, know its history beforehand. The more you read the better your pictures will be as you’ll have beforehand unveiled more spots and secrets.
You’d better chose a camera over a cellphone. Amateur photographers tend to use a camera, as we know a bit of light exposure and the way it affects the camera.
If you know and the have the option, shoot in manual mode or in RAW. The big, though obvious, inconvenient of the temple is that it was not build to accommodate photographs, it is a very dark space and, inside, flashes and tripods are strictly forbidden. You’ll have to do without them. The shutter of the camera will need very low speeds and, hence, you’ll probably take many blurred pictures. Rest the camera on a near column, on the floor or on any other surface that allows you to keep a steady focus as long as possible. If you approach one of the peripheral chapels base the camera on the bars but give up hope in finding good light. Repeat the technique in the Mirhab.
The utter enemy of every digital photograph is, however, excess of light, it might be a lonely spotlight or a general exposure. There is little to bring out from whitened pictures, they are ruined, there is nothing there. However, you can always enhance and raise features from the darkest spots. So, when circumstances are not favorable, it is better a darker picture.
Wander around the Mezquita, from cover to cover. Shoot at everything that catch your attention, you’ll have plenty of time to discard what you don’t like. Take as many pictures as you can, look for different angles and positions. Whenever you reach a new spot play and experiment with the camera, go up and down, even switch posture, but stop when an image finally reaches you. Stay put, inhale but don’t exhale, keep the air in for a moment. Now shoot softly and breathe normally. It is not nonsense, breathing affects our pulse.
A suggestion. Do not let yourself be overwhelmed by the temple. Give it time and walk, the Mezquita offers the eye countless little jewels, it could be a tessera or a capital. An another thing, it is important that you capture in detail those little treasures, for instance you won’t have taken a good picture of the Mirhab if its mosaics can’t be appreciated.
In 1993 Alberto Schommer published the book “The Search” focused on the Mezquita. This book belongs to the “Four Bodies of Stone”. A book containing photographs in black and white of the interior of the building. The texts are written by Alberto Villar Abellán. The book received the London Silver Award in 1994.
