Hostal La Fuente Cordoba Calle San Fernando, 51

Spanish style accommodation with all the amenities of modern day living are provided here. We are just a little way from Mezquita Cathedral which is the grandest and most beautiful Mosque in the whole of Spain - so beautiful in fact that the Roman built the Cathedral around it - leaving in place exquisite architecture and design to be enjoyed for generations to come.

Another piece de resistance is the Alcazar de los Reyes Cristianos with its gorgeous walled gardens, botanical area, water features including fountains and patios and terraces where you can simply sit and relax.

The Jewish Quarter with its tiny streets is home to one of the last remaining synagogues in Spain - there are only two others and they are to be found in Toledo. A variety of museums which pay tribute to Archaeology, Bullfighting, Fine Arts and the life and works of Julio Romero de Torres are all to be admired and visited. There is an audio and visual museum displaying three cultures and their history.

Shop around the small streets, browse the artisan fayre - arts, crafts, hats, lace, silverware and other jewellery - much of it handmade. Guitars and leather work which was introduced to Spain by the Arabs. Ceramics with various designs all make for perfect gifts and momentos.
