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.
"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.
"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.
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 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.......
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.
“Diseño y atención.”
Un lujo tener un jaccuzzi privado para tí.

perfect stay in cordoba. Beautiful quite place in centre of Cordoba with very gentle, even "zen" owner. Design hotel room Excellent "fresh" breakfast Private parking space nearby. All you need for a beautiful stay in Cordoba!
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!

“Lovely, relaxing stay”
We only had one night in this hotel unfortunately. Our room was lovely and the shower and bathroom huge.
“Lindo hotel cerca a la mezquita. La decoración es muy moderna y minimalista"
However in Northern America this product was not known, for nothing of interest could have existed South of the Colorado river. As of today that traditionally habit of ignoring Spanish America and Spain itself is slowly reverting. For example, Mercado Little Spain the gastronomic venture leaded by the chefs José Andrés and the Adrià brothers is considered as the best restaurant in New York city. Needless to say inside one can find churros with chocolate. The waiting lines are terrible. So big was the success that the popular cookie brand Oreo has recently unveiled their latest product. It all started some three months ago when the company dared its consumers to guess the mysterious flavor of 2019 that will be sold as a limited edition basis. Of course the answer was churro; it would have been a real piece of cake for any Spanish or Latin-American citizen but it took them, us citizens, three months. They are now being sold quite successfully in the US. Of course most news papers have published the strange event.
All of Europe is also enjoying the wonders of a good old churro thanks to the wit and hard work of our entrepreneurs who had successfully implanted the churro in the big cities of Europe. Spanish churro is in some cases as popular as Italian pizza. Among those daring entrepreneurs there is however one that outshines them all. I am referring of course to the churrería San Ginés, first opened in 1894, which has managed to export this tasty tradition to Asia. So popular that its website can be read in Chinese and new establishments have been inaugurated in Tokyo, Osaka and Shanghai, among many others, where they are known by the name of xuanlezi in China and youtiao in Japan.
Churros are at an all time popularity peak. Take for instance the new party sponsored by the discotheque Joy Eslava in Madrid every Sunday. The name of the party says it all "Churros con Chocolate", of course the night ends with a full churros con chocolate breakfast for, as you may know, churrerías are often the first ones to open.
THE HISTORY OF THE CHURRO
The churro has a rich history, it origins are as clear as a myth. It is very difficult to be certain of the origin of this sweet delicatessen. Water, flour and olive oil is all one needs to cook such a tasty recipe. It is quite possible that it could be tied with the development of agriculture. There are some theories wandering around the Internet. One of them states that it did not come from Spain but from China instead, where Portuguese merchants would have first tried youtiao: salted pastry fried for breakfast. When these merchants reproduced the recipe in Portugal a churro was born.
Another theory states that the word “churro” comes from the churra sheep, a kind which horns are said to resemble the shape of a churro. It would seem that the shepherds would have created and then made churros known beyond their mountains. The shepherds had to adapt their nutrition to their lifestyle and common bread would go bad quickly so bringing the simplest ingredients, like flour, salt, water and olive oil, turned to be much more useful.
These are just some hypothesis but we would probably never know how did it all begin. It is somewhat likely that the first civilization to ever grow wheat would have also been the first ones to try this recipe.
We could say that the history of the churro is yet to be studied, I hope this comes with time.
The churro has also made its mark in our beloved Spanish language. Since the churro has a uneven ugly shape sometimes we Spaniards refer to something half-done as being a churro, which translate to being crap. We can also see the word churro to point out the speed with which something is done, for example: he scores goals like churros would translate to he scores goals at a staggering rate; the reason behind this has to do with the speed in which churros can be made.
CHURROS, PORRAs...
We must now differentiate for churro is a broad term that refers to all sorts of churros, but there are types that go under different names.
There are three basic differences between a churro and a porra: first, the porra has a pinch o bicarbonate soda; second, the dough rests for approximately ten minutes; and third more water is added than for a normal churro.
CHURROS IN CÓRDOBA
Sadly most traditional churrerías in the city have disappeared. They used to be rolling shops that would sell churros by the river and would serve them to you tied with a long straw from the river. Not anymore. You can still find plenty of cafés that serve them. Find your closest churros here.
