"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.

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.
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.........
"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.
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!
“CARMEN ES EL ALMA DEL HOTEL.”

"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."
“Lovely, relaxing stay”
We only had one night in this hotel unfortunately. Our room was lovely and the shower and bathroom huge.
“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.
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.......
"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.
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!
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.
“Lindo hotel cerca a la mezquita. La decoración es muy moderna y minimalista"
The State Tretyakov Gallery is located in Moscow and is considered one of the main venues for Russian Fine Arts. It was founded in 1856 by the Moscow businessman and philanthropist Pável Tretyakov, who begun collecting art pieces from Russian contemporary artists with sole idea of building an Art collection, and that would eventually end up in the National Art Museum.
The art work that, in a way, is seen as dominating the Musuem is an art piece consisting of three paintings that goes under the title “Triptych of Spain”, which is considered a masterpiece of Andrei Mylnikov (1919-2012). Mylnikov was one of the most talented and famous painters born into the Russian Soviet era, but then his work and prestige continued into the New Russia. He was, and we shall not forget it, one the top official artists of the regime and was granted several awards and acknowledgements throughout his career as a soviet painter. His works extend to painting, sculpture and mosaics, with famous and emblematic works such as the decorations of Moscow and Saint Petersburg metro stations; he was also the author of the great mosaic depicting V. I. Lenin that dominates the Kremlin Palace of Congresses. He was also a teacher and a politician and the director of the Russian Academy of Arts in Saint Petersburg. In other words Mylnikov was an indispensable figure to Russian Fine Arts.
Let’s go back to Andrei Mylnikov’s series “Triptych of Spain” for there is a lot to be said. Mylnikov needed approximately 15 years before considering the series concluded. He started it around 1974 after a trip to Spain but it was not until 1981 that he presented it to the general public, and he did so about the same time he was awarded the Fine Arts Academy Gold Medal of the Soviet Union. A few years later, in 1984, he would also be chosen for the Lenin Award, the highest official mention a citizen could get in the Soviet Union. Mylnikov visited some Spanish cities: Madrid, Toledo, Barcelona… but it was while in a very specific place in Córdoba where he would understand and catch the essence with which he depicted Spain.
“Triptych of Spain” consists of three big oil on canvas: a central painting of 2x2,5 meters (The Christ of Lanterns) and at its sides two of 2x2 meters. As a whole they mean an idea about life and death, a complex composition that confronts once again the eternal fight between good and evil: life and death, love and treason, physical pain and spiritual rise.
Mylnikov named each piece differently, perhaps in order to grant each one with an according set of words to match the essence. Let’s go through them.
“BULLFIGHT IN MADRID”
Oil on canvas 200x200 centimeters.
There are some that wrongly know this painting by the name of Bullfight in Córdoba. We see the triumph of the man over the beast; a red background that hurts the eye as much as it hurts the dying beast. The face of the bullfighter is that of Manuel Benítez, or so I think as he was then at the top of his career.
Also pay attention to the pose in which he stands: a crucified Christ of some sort. This is a shape repeated throughout the series.
“CRUCIFIXION IN CÓRDOBA”
Oil on canvas 200x250 centimeters.
It is quite a familiar scene that of the Christ of the Lanterns in the Capuchins’ square for those born and raise in Córdoba; part of an urban scenery with which we all grew up: mysticism and sobriety. That is precisely what Mylnikov managed to extract and then reproduce in the painting. We might say that the composition ends at the bottom with a maternity as counterpoint of life and hope to the agonizing death of the main figure. The circle of life is complete.
“DEATH OF GARCÍA LORCA”
Oil on canvas 200x200 centimeters.
The triptych ends with another martyr. This being Federico at moment of his death, shot defenseless like so many others during the Civil War. I see in this picture the great tragedy that the War brought to Spain, a dark time that covered the earth with salt for many years (as it would later happened in the rest of Europe). Again a crucifixion, a standing figure desperately greeting a hard and merciless fate with open arms. In other words a portrait of the Spain we were that perhaps could lead us and others to think about human nature these days.
