[Praskipark, 07/08/2010] Travelling through Spain from Portugal to the UK and vice versa was a trip my husband and I did for several years, sometimes three or 4 times a year as we still had property in England and had to go back and check whether it was still standing or not. On some of our journeys we camped but mostly stayed in hotels. I have never really liked large hotels belonging to chains - I much prefer something with a bit of character, a building that has style and owners who make you feel like a real person rather than just another visitor.Cordoba is a fascinating city and one city I put off visiting for qu

[fizzytom, 26/08/2005] This 'hostal' is situated in the heart of old Cordoba, only minutes away from the most popular attractions - the Alcazar and the Mezquita. It is on a quiet narrow lane which does not permit access to vehicles and so is very quiet. There is currently (summer 2005) some renovation work going on in nearby buildings but this starts around mid-morning and finishes early evening so you are unlikely to be disturbed.
You enter by a huge wooden door and walk into a wonder 'patio' filled with beautiful plants and which has a skylight way up in the roof from which exotic drapes hang. There are chairs
