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.

These ephemeral floral installations will be open to the general public from the 20th to the 29th of October.
"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."
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.

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.
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.
“Lindo hotel cerca a la mezquita. La decoración es muy moderna y minimalista"
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!
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.
“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!.
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.........
“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.
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
"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.
“Diseño y atención.”
Un lujo tener un jaccuzzi privado para tí.
Nos recomendaron sitios para cenar estupendos. Gracias a las chicas.
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.......
"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"
Throughout History laughter has remained an essential aspect of any human society for it soothes the pain and makes it bearable, plus laughing puts us in a state of joy and relaxation. Therefore, jokes have been continuously thought up and written down. Spain has however turned this small literary genre into a profuse tradition, and we are considered as one of the countries with the biggest list of jokes in the world. This is no coincidence and has a lot to do with the fact that epigrammatic literature has been traditionally very popular in the Spanish language. Epigrammatic literature consists of brief texts, predominantly rhyming and in verse, dealing with thoughts, ideas, moral, satiric or humorist insights. Juan de Iriarte wrote a great epigrammatic definition of the joke:
Like the bee,
for it to be source of joy,
an epigram must be
sweet, biting and brief.
♣
Spanish Baroque literature greatly adopted and employed the epigram, it was very appreciated among the Royal Court as it was a sign of wit. It was also a good opportunity to thrive for those who had not the fortune of being born rich. Art was a great socio-economical ladder for many back in the day. There were hundreds of poets and writers and painters… it was the Spanish Golden Century. All of them, from Baltasar Gracián and his compilation of epigrams Agudeza y arte de ingenio (Sharpness and art of wit) to the six hundreds apothegm (another way of saying epigram) of Juan Rufo. All of them cultivated the exquisite taste of lingering as they used to call that joyful act of the epigram and that would eventually result in the current joke.
Read the following epigrams written by Pedro Calderón de la Barca and tell me if they don’t just sound like jokes:
It was asked by a mother
to her son: my son
what is it you want? Egg or bacon?
And the son replied: bacon;
but with an egg on top.
♣
A lad was silently
mending his boxers.
Seeing that I asked:
What is new lad?
And he replied: just the thread.
♣
And how about this other one by Francisco de Quevedo, which could very well be read as the first dirty joke in Spanish literature.
(To Muñiz)
So big your sex
rises, oh, my good Muñiz!
and so big your nose
that when erect you smell it.
♣
Or this other one also by Quevedo that depicts a catalan who seeing a mosquito in his whine quickly pulls it out and threatens it:
(To the whine mosquito)
Sweet-tooth and drunken dot
bird of dirtying sips:
Irish fly of the slurp
and whine butterfly.
Straight out of a whine bucket,
out of the finest stench
and the lard’s honey you,
mosquito dressed as bee:
I drink you for the whine you took from me.
♣
Just imagine how must the laughter should have been in tavern when hearing the wit of these words. Careful, though! For a joke is a serious thing and not something easy anyone can do. When one can finally laugh with a Spanish joke that means he has fully mastered the language, for the joke usually involves sounds and double and triple parallel meanings that originated centuries ago and its true significance is almost like a reflex. Plus jokes tend to use local slang and national stereotypes. It is likely that even getting the meaning one would not laugh with a French joke; sometimes they can even sound rude to other nations so be careful and choose wisely.
