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.
“Lovely, relaxing stay”
We only had one night in this hotel unfortunately. Our room was lovely and the shower and bathroom huge.
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.......
"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.
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.........

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.
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!
"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."
Around the year 760 the Emirs of Zaragoza were seeking allies to rebel against the Córdoba Caliphate on account of some taxes they did not agree with. So when approached by the Emirs Charlemagne saw the perfect opportunity to make his way into Córdoba using the Emirs to cut through part of the Caliphate. Therefore he assembled his troops and led them to the gates of Zaragoza; but that was the closest he would get to set foot in Córdoba.
The Emirs might have been disloyal but they sure were not fools and as soon as they realized Charlemagne’s true intentions the mighty emperor had to flee North.
However, since there were yet no spoils of war and the soldiers counted on it, Charlemagne decided to brutally sack the city of Pamplona. Needless to say this angered the Vascones who inflicted the great chieftain a severe defeat at the battle of Roncevaux Pass. All of this can be read in the great epic poem “The Song of Roland”, another piece of ancient fake news written 300 years after the events depicted in the poem.
But how come a mural painting titled “The battle of Córdoba” decorates the hall of Thrones of the Town Hall of Aachen?
Well, we can agree that for a great deal of problems in our world these days Romanticism is to blame. Alfred Rethel painted it in 1849, and he was a key German romantic painter, who along side many other German painters decided to commemorate the deeds of the great Emperor Charlemagne –emperor merely by title–. There are some curious details in this painting that I would like to point out. First and oddest, the horses in the battle are blindfolded and that is strange strange. The Muslim soldier being stricken down appears to be holding a black cloth or some type of mask, an item which Charlemagne seems to be reaching for. Plus there is a bishop and that is also strange.
These are all important details with which we can reconstruct what in fact did happen in the battle of the legend. I have found the truth in an old forgotten book published in 1840 and signed by some Nicholas de Piamonte who states that he merely translated what an older book contained.
Here is the tale that explains the nature of this painting. I am sure the painter must have read it too.
On how Charlemagne battled against the kings of Sevilla and Córdoba.
When the kings of Córdoba and Sevilla knew of the death of Ferragus and the other knights, they felt a deep sorrow and sent their ambassadors to Charlemagne to tell him how the kings of Córdoba and Sevilla had great desire to wage battle and that if he desired so he could choose a vast and plane field for his warriors for they would meet him with sixty thousand men, and the emperor replied: tell your kings that though I have not as many warriors I will meet them in the battle field any day they choose. So once day and field were chosen, both the Emperor and the Muslim kings assembled their troops. The Muslim kings then ordered ten thousands masks, very ugly some black some red with big ears and bigger noses, to be made and have their foot soldiers wear them along with a bell so that when Charlemagne rushed into battle with his troops and ordered the attack these masked men made their bells toll scaring the horses away and breaking Charlemagne ranks despite the knight’s will to ride forward. It was then that the pagans attacked in order and killed many Christians. Having seen this stratagem Charlemagne gathered his troops and ordered to blindfold the horses and close their ears with cotton and they will attack the next morning and so they did and the battle was waged until noon and they smashed all the Muslim troops with the exception of ten thousand knights that kept safe two great chariots and one of the chariots had the flags and oath of these ten thousand that would not surrender while their flags and sacred oath was standing and knowing that Charlemagne rushed himself against the chariot with great violence and bravery and took the flag and threw it on the ground and as soon as it was done ten thousand knights fled the battle and the Christians pursued them until they reached the city of Córdoba where they sought refuge and there a noble old man guarding the city renounced his pagan ways and received the Christian Faith by the archbishop Turpin and many others followed in these noble old man steps and the rest were killed.
