Las Adelfas Hotel, Cordoba

Advantages: Plenty to see and do, great seafood
Disadvantages: Gets terribly hot in summer, not cheap

...of those sites that is so popular that it is difficult to pick a quieter time to visit. There is a charge for entry to the Alcazar and the gardens (these are beautiful, filled with wonderful scents and graceful fountains) but Fridays are free so bear that in mind if your trip includes a Friday. LA JUDERIA As you might suppose from the name, this is the old Jewish quarter, close to the Mezquita. Here tiny white houses line the narrow lanes, the best known is Calle de las Flores which is the scene every of a fierce competition in which the home owners compete for the honour of being declared the best house with the best "patio" (in Spanish houses this is an enclosed courtyard at the centre of the house).
