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

My Favorite Hotel in Spain, maybe the whole of Europe
"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.......
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"
What makes this a great and interesting photographic feature is the fact that the famous monuments of the city are not the main theme, instead the little streets and small spaces are. This makes it very valuable and rare, for it did not seek to reproduce the clichés that were already an all-time best-sellers since the XIXth century.
Some of these photographs are being now sold in a French web site that specializes in this sort of forgotten material. Some are copies in paper and others are negatives 6x6. The photographs were taken from a Leica camera and are of great quality; plus the photographers had a good and able eye.
Here is a small selection with a brief note at the bottom.
A group of children return from the fountain close to the church of Saint Jose, they went there to collect water; the fountain still works as of today. The church in the picture has been recently restored and enhanced. The car likely belonged to the photographers and the picture could have been taken from the inside of the same sticking the camera out of the car. In the top of the picture the traditional tile mural of the “Nitrates of Chile” company, now lost, can be seen.
Tendillas Square. Idle audience curious about a tourist asking questions with a map in hand. It is likely that the tourist was one of the companions of the photographers. A street organ, very common then, amuses the city’s square with its music.
Citizens enjoy a beer in the terrace of the Gran Bar. The Hotel Boston appears at the back. The Tendillas Square was the center to all commercial and leisure activities of the city, most buses had their main stop here.
Aladreros Square, next to the Gallegos Gate at the beginning of Concepcion street. We can see two women heading to mass, probably to Saint Hipólito church. The central market once located in the Corredera had been closed so any square was a good place to improvise a small market. Thus Aladreros square gathered groceries stores, butcher’s and fish markets.
A stand where melons and churros are sold. You can vaguely notice the scene in the previous photograph. To the left one can appreciate the end of Concepcion street of Gallegos Gate and some trees of the Victoria gardens.
A merchant selling flowers and pots. It is difficult to guess the exact location were this picture was taken but it is, I am certain, far from the previous ones.
We come to the end of this first chapter of the series. The pictures shows us a social perspective different from the usual clichés. Our second issue is to be more interesting as we shall meet the photographers and enjoy the better quality of the pictures for they are negatives of great detail.
See you next week!
