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.
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.
“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.
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.........
"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"
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.
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.
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
My Favorite Hotel in Spain, maybe the whole of Europe
"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.
“Lindo hotel cerca a la mezquita. La decoración es muy moderna y minimalista"
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.

“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!.
"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 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.......
Inspired by Giorgo Vasari, he was the first one in Spain to publish a catalog of painters, a catalog that would include the first biography of Diego Velázquez in El Museo Pictórico y Escala Óptica, key bibliography to Spanish Baroque painting. There is, among the 300 pages that make the essay, one page dedicated to list and comment the female painters up until that moment. It could very well seems a ridiculous percentage to our XXIst century eyes but then it accounted for a daring deed, as in Europe there were no female painters nor were they allowed to be so. This sole page written by Palomino has ever since served as benchmark to study and research many other forgotten and silenced female painters. Perhaps this odd page had a lot to do with Palomino’s sister Francisca as she was also a good painter: unfortunately as of today her work is lost and her figure ignored.
The first one to ever made this sort of inventories was Giorgo Vasari who compiled a total of 133 biographies of artist (all of them men except from one women: the sculptor Properzia de Rossi), therefore this sole page in Palomino’s work meant the first inventory of female painters ever. For its great interest I have copied this revolutionary and valuable page below. I have searched the Internet and have managed to gather various links to each one of the cited artists so you can see for yourselves the quality and harshness most of these women had to endure so that they could paint.
It was not an easy job as there are some women yet to be studied and reinstated and very little could be found about them. Plus, some of them were cited by Palomino with a different name. I hope you find this page as amusing and revealing as I discovered it to be.

El Museo Pictórico y Escala Óptica
El Parnaso español, pintoresco y laureado
(Volume 3)
There have always been examples of world class women. Sofonisba Cremonense (Palomino is referring to Sofonisba Anguissola) painted a portrait of Her Serene Highness the Queen María Luisa de Borbón, first wife to the Charles II, in the presence of the very same Charles II. A lady in waiting –Sofonisba– that was an excellent painter for the Queen of Spain Isabel, wife of King Philip II, and so were her three sisters Ana, Europa and Lucía. Needless to say that being a lady in waiting Sofonisba belonged to the great house of Anguísiola in Faença. And there was another Sicilian lady in waiting in this Court in times of Philip IV that made excellent small sized portraits: Her Excellency Teresa Sarmiento, Duchess of Bejar; she paints wonderfully and not long ago I asked her to show me the Head of Our Lady Auxiliadora, as they say in Valencia, beautifully made in Crystal by her hand. Her Excellency Maria de Guadalupe Duquesa de Abeyro did not waste her talent and to her command of the written word and her knowledge of foreign languages we must add her excellent talent for painting.
Also the Honorable Countess of Villaumbrosa painted with great skill and care. Mariana de la Cueva Benavides y Barradas wife of Francisco de Zayas knight of Calatrava and sister to three knights of the same order was an excellent painter in Granada. One case stands out from all the others and that is that of our Serene Highness Isabel Farnesio, wife of our Excellency the Catholic King, whose outstanding painting skills compete with the talents and graces gathered in her Royal Persona constituting her not only worthy of the King but of her subjects’ heart too.
Mariëta Tintoreta (Palomino means Marietta Robusti), daughter of the famous Jacobo Tintoreto, was an excellent painter and her work was highly deemed by all the Princes of Europe. Also Margarita de Enzina, sister of Juan de Enzina known as Juan de Brujas (Palomino means Jan van Eyck) the one who developed the oil on canvas technique, was an excellent painter. Propercia Boloñesa (Palomino means Properzia de’ Rossi who made sculptures out of peaches seeds) was an excellent painter and sculptor. Then there is Plautila Abadesa (he means the Florentine painter Plautilla Nelli) and Lucrecia Quistellia Mirandulana (he means Lucrezia Quistelli della Mirandola) and Arthemisa Genttileschi (considered by some scholars the first feminist painter) all of them excellent Italian painters and Lavinia Fontana, daughter of Prospero Fontanta a painter famous in Bolonia, was also an excellent painter and such was her talent that we find at the El Escorial a painting of the Virgin Mary and the Son resting upon some pillows with Saint John and Saint Joseph in the back and the Virgin Mary is lifting the veil so that the Son is seen; in any case her painting is highly deemed in Italy.
Excellent painters were also Propercia de Rossi, daughter of the knight Maximo, and Teresa del Pò daughter of Pedro del Pò Roman painter. Our beloved Alonso Sánchez had also a daughter who was an excellent painter, also Mariana Duarte sister of Francisco Duarte president of the Casa de Contratación. These days Madama le Hay is very famous for her excellent painting although she is also well versed as poet, musician and engraver for she made the book published the year 1706 of which we will speak later on.
Susana Maria painter in Augusta and daughter of the painter Juan Fischero. Ana Maria Schermania (Palomino means Anna Maria van Schurman) was quite and erudite mind and a gifted painter. Ana Felicitas de Neuburg was an excellent painter. Also excellent painters were Maria Sybilá Gravia Francofortenfe (Palomino means Maria Sibylla Merian) and Susana de Sandrart Norimbergense (Palomino means Susanne Maria von Sandrart).
