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

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.
"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."
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
“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!.
"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.
My Favorite Hotel in Spain, maybe the whole of Europe
“Diseño y atención.”
Un lujo tener un jaccuzzi privado para tí.
Nos recomendaron sitios para cenar estupendos. Gracias a las chicas.
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!
"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.
“Lindo hotel cerca a la mezquita. La decoración es muy moderna y minimalista"
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.
This manuscript, right from the very beginning (the first edition dates from 1516), acquired great popularity and was widely read across the continent in its original Latin. Spain was not an exception and starting the following century the numerous voices were working on a translation to the vernacular tongue. One of the first ones to show an interest was our good poet Quevedo. He had a friend in Córdoba, Jerónimo Antonio de Medinilla, who at the time was Councilman and judge in the city but also a good soldier, great horseman and better Latinist.
Quevedo might have thought that publishing the book would be an absolute success among the humble inhabitants of Sierra Morena, the motives behind this reasoning are at least intriguing. Therefore he commissioned the translation to his good friend Jerónimo. The book was published in Spanish in 1637 at the printing house of Salvador Cea which was located in the old Librarians street. The translation was so good the it remained the most popular one up until 1946.
For those that are afraid to read the old classics but still want to know about them, the book is divided in two parts: the first one narrates Moro’s conversations with his friend Pedro Gilles during a trip to Amberes; these conversations would lead us to Utopia. The character in the book tells us about unknown worlds to where a peninsular (Spanish) sailor, Rafael, sails to. Rafael is depicted as a wise and experienced sailor that even accompanied Americo Vespuccio in three of his four trips to the New World. Rafael is also something of an outsider who speaks freely about his experiences, politics and philosophy: “the Latins (the Romans), with the exceptions of Seneca and Cicero, left us very little in terms of philosophy”.
However this first part was not included in the first edition as it contained a good deal of attacks against the Holy Church and back then that was taken very seriously.
Hence the book was published only with the second part. There Moro describes in detail the island of Abraxa where Utopo creates the Republic of Utopia, a society living in total peace and harmony where gold is no longer a precious metal and there is not a trace of usury. Taking into consideration how the present turned out to be, it may be a naive reading for us XXIst century citizens. But, do not be mislead, Moro is considering ideas that are as of today still completely valid such us the use bartering instead of money, self-sufficiency in terms of food, democracy and many other ideas that constitute the main ideology for most hipster movements in Western Civilization.
Plus! There is another connection a bit more updated. These past Comic and Illustration Convention, Te-Beo en la calle (Comic in the street), that took place in the Merced Palace in Madrid also held and exhibition on this great poet Francisco de Quevedo. You can go enjoy the exhibition until this 28th of April. A total of 70 items were donated for the event by the Francisco de Quevedo Foundation.
