Parador de Cordoba La Arruzafa, CóRDOBA

Multi-story hotel with extensive grounds on a hill overlooking the ... suburbs. Actually, the view is nothing - might as well look at trees. The hotel is clean, the staff responsive and helpful, but the restaurant is mediocre. When we ate many tables, including us, ordered an aubergine entree which turned out to be a heaping plate of deep fried dough with a sliver of vegetable matter that tasted like congealed fat. Not recommended. You'll need a car to get anywhere interesting - there's nothing within walking distance. Nice pool.
