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

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.........

My Favorite Hotel in Spain, maybe the whole of Europe
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.
"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.
It is amazing to know that such a discreet lady would end up Queen of Portugal, mother of kings, mother-in- law of Charles I, grand mother of Philip II and wife to Manuel I ( key figure in Portugal’s History, ruler of a great colonial empire: during his reign Brazil is discovered. Constructor of the great Portuguese monuments to the point of naming the Gothic architecture style in Portugal: Manueline style.
Very few facts has reached us about this Discreet Queen, even fewer portraits. Little is known about her for she chose a low profile during her regency. Although I am sure there was not much time for cocktails and celebrations while giving birth to 10 children. Plus, she was a true catholic, she never skipped mass, rosaries or novenas, there is not a lot of time left after all that. She did, however, make one or two mistakes while in politics, such as the support to the pogrom of Lisbon that resulted in the death of 2.000 Jews. She had to make public amends and apologize for it.
María de Aragón (the Discreet Queen) was born on the 29 th of June of 1482 in Córdoba, back then a common residence for the itinerant Court of Isabel and Fernando. At the time the Catholic Kings were in battle with the Nasrid Kingdom of Granada. That very same year, Boabdil seized power from his father Muley Hacén and became the last Nasrid King of Granada.
María had a twin sister who was stillborn. She was the fourth daughter of the Catholic Kings, before her were Isabel, Juan, Juana and the last one Catalina.
The birth of the Infanta María was celebrated throughout the city for many days. In fact, the first documented bullfight in Córdoba took place during the celebrations to honor the birth of the fourth daughter of the Catholic Monarchs. María was baptized in the Cathedral of Córdoba on the 7 th of July and, although, no testimonies have reached our days from the celebrations that accompanied this event, it is reasonable to think that they were of similar proportions as those celebrated in Seville for the baptism of her brother Juan, with the sole difference that he was the Crown Prince.
María received a dedicated education, many great scholars tutored her under the thorough supervision of the Queen herself, as she was specially keen on equally giving her children an education in languages, history, humanities, among other subjects, in order to make them good kings and queens for the modern times to come.
María was of pale skin, blue eyes and blond reddish hair. She was thin an tall, despite her parents being of average stature. She inherited Trastámara’s features. The Queen María was never mentioned by her beauty, it is likely that she was not considered as beautiful as her other sisters. However, those few portraits of the Discreet Queen show us a delicate woman not deprived of beauty.
At first, the destiny of María was put on hold. While her older sister was destined to be Queen of Portugal, the Prince Juan King of Castile and Aragon and Juana thought to be married to the archduke of Burgundy, she remained waiting for a role in the marriage-alliances policy set in motion by the Catholic Kings. The sudden death of her sister Isabel broke the legal ties, so carefully drawn, with Portugal. In order to maintain those ties, María took her sister’s place. She had little influence in the Court, she devoted herself to the role of a Queen consort: give an heir to the Throne. She did not just provided the King of Portugal with one heir but ten, among them: King Juan III, Cardinal Enrique later known as Enrique I King of Portugal and Infanta Isabel who would become the wife of his cousin Carlos, King of Spain and Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire.
Queen María died on the 7 th of March of 1517 at child birth. Her son the Infante Antonio died with her. She was only 34 years old. The funeral took place in the Jerónimos Monastery of Belém in Lisbon, where the remains of this Discreet Queen born in Córdoba rest.
