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.
"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.
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!
"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.
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.........
“Lindo hotel cerca a la mezquita. La decoración es muy moderna y minimalista"
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.

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.
My Favorite Hotel in Spain, maybe the whole of Europe
“Lovely, relaxing stay”
We only had one night in this hotel unfortunately. Our room was lovely and the shower and bathroom huge.

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.
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.
“Diseño y atención.”
Un lujo tener un jaccuzzi privado para tí.
Nos recomendaron sitios para cenar estupendos. Gracias a las chicas.
During the Middle Ages traveling however diminished, but tourism was still very much alive through pilgrimages to the holy places; as of today many of those routes are very popular for example Camino de Santiago.
However it is not up until the first industrial revolution that human beings –mostly in Europe– would take tourism as a serious endeavor. Once it begun it took only time to transform those XIXth century bourgeois tours into the global and prosperous industry it is nowadays. The magical moment would take place around the 1950’s, after a atrocious stop due to the previous World Wars.
Regardless of time and era, along with the tourist came always the suitcase. At the beginning of the XXth century a suitcase meant a status that only a handful of people could enjoy. Again, having a suitcase or a traveling trunk was indisputable proof of being well off. Suitcases could be made of wood, leather or even reinforced fabric. They were long-lasting objects, sometimes even inherited, such was the quality and endurance with which these old suitcases were made of.
They also served as a sort of window display through which one would show the different stamps and seals got in the cities one visited. These stamps were usually the way in which fine hotels promoted themselves. While their suitcases were carried across the train platforms, tourists would brag about their travels with these stamps. This trend, however, passed away as soon as the automobile became the main touristic mode of transportation. Car badges then became the new stamps; suitcases no longer were an indisputable sign of status, it was the car what was now in display and served as window display, feeding the owner’s ego big chunks of meat. I remember well those days: we, the youngsters, cleaned the cars from those badges and collected them, perhaps that was our way of traveling, our way of wanting to travel to those far unknown places.
And then these badges passed away too; but our need to brag about our travels didn’t. And the car badge became the fridge magnet sold in all souvenirs stores. No proud tourist would then miss the opportunity to add a reminder to the collection of fridge magnets showing the distances traveled in the world. The suitcase ceased to be the window display with which make relatives and friends green with envy.
In Córdoba, this trend of stamps and seals glued to a suitcase also had its day but then passed. Old defunct hotels that left their footprint in those pieces of paper right before being overthrown by bigger and nicer and new hotels. May this little gallery be a tribute to the pioneers of comfort that welcomed the first tourists visiting the city, but also to those who took their place and kept on working hard.
