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.
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.
“Lovely, relaxing stay”
We only had one night in this hotel unfortunately. Our room was lovely and the shower and bathroom huge.
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.
“Diseño y atención.”
Un lujo tener un jaccuzzi privado para tí.
Nos recomendaron sitios para cenar estupendos. Gracias a las chicas.
"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"
“Lindo hotel cerca a la mezquita. La decoración es muy moderna y minimalista"
My Favorite Hotel in Spain, maybe the whole of Europe
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.......
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
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.........

The film was thought to be lost for many years until a copy was recently found in the city of La Habana. When examining the tape, critics said that Villarías elegant portrayal of Dracula exceeded by far that of the very same Bela Lugosi. “Drácula” was premiered in Córdoba the 7th of November of 1931 at the Duque de Rivas Theater.
Right from the very beginning of cinema vampires have been a fertile theme for human imagination. Especially in Mexico where Death has such a singular presence in every day life; this is easily noticeable during their Day of the Dead.
Mexico was then one the most important and biggest markets for Hollywood. However, the early sound films could not be dubbed as the industry lacked the technical tools for it. Therefore, in order to reach foreign markets, it was common to make a second version in the language of the targeted country. In this case, a Spanish speaking cast was hired and the film was shot using the same sets of the original version. Usually foreign versions were shot at night.
So the film was shot in 1930 at the Universal Studios and Carlos Villarías and Lupita Tovar played the leading roles. The success of the version, directed by George Melford, made Villarías a popular actor in Mexico, who would then be called to work in this country’s thriving industry.
_____________
Carlos Villarías was born in Córdoba the 7th of July of 1892 and died the 27th of April of 1976 in Los Angeles. He starred in 83 films. He was the son of a Spanish Army General. He studied in San Sebastián and graduated in Law from the University of Valladolid. He then opened a firm but soon after that he quit law to fully dedicate himself to theater. For a while he worked in modest companies but then decided to try his luck in Paris, where he successfully sung “La Gaité Lyirique”. He was acclaimed by the Italian critics in his debut at the Victor Manuel Theater of Torino, and toured around Italy up until World War broke out in Europe.
Having sailed from Genoa, he arrived to the United States of America the 13th of May of the year 1915. His outstanding command of English caught the eye of actor and businessman Lou Tellegen, who suggested he joined his theater company. He was also part of the group that created the Spanish Theater in New York; he even played a main role in the inauguration play “Tierra baja” (Lowland) by Ángel Guimerá. By 1921 he was starring “The Wildcat” in many New York theaters.
In 1923 Villarías arrived to California and, after a few minor roles in mute films alongside with Rodolfo Valentino or Pauline Frederick, the 19th of July, he signed a contract with Fox for a year. During the next two decades he worked unceasingly in Hollywood and Mexico. In 1949 he returned to Spain and ended his outstanding yet unknown acting career. He sometimes went by the name Carlos or Charles Villar.
