VIEWPOINT
OVER THE CITY OF THE CALIPHS
Located
on the ruins of the small summer palace of Abderramán I, a hill
surrounded by vegetation at the foot of the Cordoba mountain range, the
Parador offers an exceptional panoramic view of the legendary city of the
caliphs. The building brims with freshness, as it enjoys a temperature
4ºC lower than in the city.
That
feeling of well-being is enhanced by the swimming pool and the surrounding
grounds (featuring a new garden known as 'Los Naranjos' ('The Orange Trees'),
where the first palm trees planted in Europe maybe found.
The inner
rooms are elegant and very bright, with large living rooms and spacious
bedrooms.
The
dining room offers 'salmorejo cordobés' (cold vegetable soup), 'gazpacho
blanco de almendras' (cold almond soup) and steak in green sauce.
