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.
“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!.
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.
"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"
"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."
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.
“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.........
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.
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
“Lindo hotel cerca a la mezquita. La decoración es muy moderna y minimalista"
“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!
"For design and atmosphere lovers"

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.
"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.
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.......
My Favorite Hotel in Spain, maybe the whole of Europe
We use with little to no care the terms Moor, Muslim, Arab, Mudejar… and sometimes even as synonyms for each other. Other terms to refer the civilizations that occupied the peninsula such as Muslimes or Miramolines were lost and are no longer used. Let’s get on with the first task at hand.
Muslim
Refers to the person that practices Islam, the Faith, the religion of the Quran, and that would include Arabs, Moors, Indonesian, Afghans… It is not an ethnic categorization but a religious one. It is not a notion that ends with a frontier it refers to all sorts of Islam followers.
Arab
Refers to that who is original from Arabia, in other words, the Arabian peninsula. A Moroccan is not an Arab but a Yemeni citizen is. Abd al-Rahman I, from the Umayyad dynasty that ruled most of the Iberian peninsula as an independent Caliphate, was an Arab; Boabdil on the other hand was a Moor and sultan of the Kingdom of Granada.
Moor
By far the most used of these terms. Moor comes from the word Mauritania, that is the region comprising Western North of Africa up until the Dessert. The people living in those latitudes have a skin color that range from the Mediterranean white to the dark of the Berber in the dessert. The Almoravid and Almohad dynasties were both Moor, that is, they originated in Mauritania, and they were both hostile to each other. The civil wars between these two Islamic Moorish factions meant the beginning of the end for the Muslims in Spain. To sum it up, Muslim Spain was first ruled by Arabs and then by Moors. However, the society at either side of the frontier (Muslims and Christians) was always a multi-ethnic and religiously diverse one with Moors, Arabs, Visigoths, Muslims, Jews and Christians.
Morisco
Refers to the Moorish population that remained in the Peninsula after 1492, before that they were known as Mudejars. They mainly inhabited the former kingdom of Granada (including Málaga) and the kindgom of Valencia, although it is widely known that there were many other places were Moriscos lived. Up until their final eviction in the XVIth century –for they were forced to either convert to Christianity or leave the peninsula– Moriscos were frequently revolting against the Crown, on the other hand, the Crown kept always an eye on them. Because of that many of them established high in the mountains were access was not easy. Those marvelous white villages in the mountains of Granada and Málaga were built by their kin; that is the heritage that this hardened-by-war nation left Spain.
Mozarabs
Refers to that Christian living under Muslim rule. San Pelagio, Justa, Rufina and so many other martyrs were Mozarabs. The term is also used to designate an architectonic style and technique. Most of the shrines and other Faith related buildings in the peninsula and the South of France were Mozarab constructions. This particular fashion was in part influenced by the Córdoba-Arab techniques which in turn are greatly influenced by Byzantium. It is considered one of the main tradition that later resulted in Romanic architecture.
Mudejar
Refers to the Muslim population that decided to stay and live under Christian rule. It is a pejorative term that translates to “domesticated”. However, the term also designates a particular architectonic style. The refinement and ornamentation techniques that the Muslims (Arabs and Moors) brought to the peninsula were unheard of to the austere Christians and were greatly demanded. All the Lords and religious leaders would turn to Mudejar masters and builders to build their temples and palaces. Aragón is, however, the region were the Mudejar style would be most employed. As of today it is considered as a genuine Spanish architectonic style. On the other hand, the popularity of this style resulted in a weak presence of Gothic constructions that flourished in Europe at the same time.
And that is all! As you can all see it is a delicate manner that needs precision and precaution in equal amounts.
