Advantages: The Mezquita, the Jewish Quarter, the history Disadvantages: The heat
Arriving in Córdoba, it's difficult not to be impressed as the Mezquita looms large on the horizon. This magnificent former Mosque is now the city's Cathedral and undoubtedly, its most famous attraction and landmark. This was probably the main reason we were visiting the city, and we had booked accommodation at the Hotel Maimonides, literally feet from the Mezquita.
CÓRDOBA has a long and illustrious history. It was founded by the Romans (not sure who losted it) in 169BC and because of its strategic position - the furthest navigable point of the Guadalquivir River, it developed into an important port. It was the Romans who constructed the massive bridge over the Guadalaquiver River, El Puente Romano. It consists of 16 arches (although none of the arches are Roman - but the bases are) and once formed part of the Via Augusta. It ...

Advantages: Plenty to see and do, great seafood Disadvantages: Gets terribly hot in summer, not cheap
Cordoba is a city I felt I knew even before I'd been; that's probably because it is home to some well-known historical sites and is a city that has made a big contribution to Spanish culture, most notably through the art of flamenco dancing and music. It is a city with a reputation of hot days and hot nights and there is nowhere that better encapsulates the many cultures that have contributes to the melting pot that is Andalusia.
When thinking about cross cultural relations today, particularly in Europe, one should perhaps point out that Jews, Muslims and Christians lived in (relative) harmony for several centuries in Cordoba; the city in general and some of its major sights in particular illustrate the impressions successive and co-existing cultures have had on Cordoba.
Cordoba was the "capital" of the Moorish kingdom of El ...

Advantages: Great location Disadvantages: Rooms on the small side
One of the places we really wanted to see when we were in Andalucia was the city of Córdoba. What we particularly wanted to see there was the Mezquita (the old Moorish mosque) and to wander around the tangled maze of the Jewish Quarter. (Read all about it in my preview)
So with this in mind, and an pigheaded doggedness to book a hotel that was exactly right (when I say pig-headed doggedness, obviously I refer to a wish to please Mrs P and so avoid getting an earful for choosing a crappy hotel), I searched the net until my fingers bled, metaphorically speaking. I found a suitable one on a site called atrapalo.com - a Spanish travel site which is well worth checking out. I paid ? 53 per night room only - the rack rate for B&B is nearer ? 100 (? 1 = 67p approx.), not too shabby.
The hotel is located in the heart of Córdoba's old town ...
The location of Conquistador Hotel is absolutely the best, right in front of the Mesquita, the main reason to visit Cordoba. In a splendid location, in the main historic and artistic city center, just in front to the world famous Mezquita, at just 2 minutes from the Palacio de Congresos. The hotel combines and Old architectural Style, with the modernity and comfort of the rooms to ensure guests an unforgettable stay, even if you travel for business or pleasure. The hotel distinguished by its subtle elegance, attentive service and warm hospitality. A pleasant setting where the enchantment of the south of Spain will bewitch you.
