Hotel Macià Alfaros, Córdoba Hotels
Simple hotel channeling Al-Andalus culture and architecture with an outdoor pool and relaxed lounge bar
Macia Alfaros, while not steeped in historical significance itself, provides a comfortable and conveniently situated base for exploring the wonders of the area. Its location, just to the north of the magnificent Templo Romano and the vibrant Plaza de la Corredera, makes it an ideal choice for those eager to immerse themselves in the local atmosphere. The hotel’s design draws inspiration from traditional culture and architecture, evident in its inviting open-air courtyard featuring beautiful stone flooring. Guests can also unwind at the outdoor pool area, complete with intricate mosaics and charming fountains, offering a tranquil escape. While the guest rooms might benefit from some modernization, upgrading to a higher-tier unit is recommended to enjoy enhanced space and the added luxury of a private terrace.
One of the key advantages of staying at Macia Alfaros is its proximity to numerous significant landmarks. Situated just north of the Templo Romano, it’s an easy stroll to Plaza de la Corredera, the ancient Puente Romano, the awe-inspiring Mezquita-Catedral, and the historic Alcázar Andalusí. The hotel also offers a breakfast buffet that caters to diverse tastes, featuring an impressive array of seasonal fruits and other delectable options, all served in a relaxed and unpretentious dining area.
For those seeking relaxation and refreshment, the hotel boasts a welcoming lounge bar where guests can enjoy a drink. Alternatively, take your beverage to the outdoor pool and sundeck, an area beautifully enclosed by the hotel’s distinctive architectural style. Bubbling fountains, comfortable sun loungers, and striking stone mosaics contribute to a serene and aesthetically pleasing environment. In addition to these features, Macia Alfaros provides a lobby lounge, an inviting inner courtyard terrace, and a fitness center for guests’ convenience.
However, it’s worth noting that the guest rooms are relatively simple in their design and could benefit from updates to better reflect the hotel’s otherwise historically inspired ambiance.
Hotel Information
Wifi – Check On RequestSpain
You won't need to go far beyond the Alhambra of Granada and the streets of Barcelona to find the real Spain. Step away from the crowds and you'll find that this destination has retained its depth—centuries of history linger in hilltop villages, and wild landscapes abound from the craggy Pyrenees to the Mediterranean coast. This is where you come to revel in the good life, whatever that means to you: hiking through Galicia, embracing the architecture of Bilbao, or eating your way through the Basque Country.
When is the best time to visit?
Generally, April-June and September-October offer the most pleasant weather and fewer crowds than peak summer months. One exception is northern Spain, where springtime sees more rain than in other parts of the country; here, June-September is your best bet. July and August are the hottest months of the year—for sun worshippers, this could be the perfect time to visit.
Where should I go in Spain?
If you're heading to Spain for the highlights, you'll want to start with Madrid, Barcelona, Granada, and Seville. Not your first trip? Consider San Sebastián, Bilbao, Santiago de Compostela, and Valencia. And if you truly want to venture off the track, craft your itinerary from the literal road less traveled—hike through the Pyrenees to hidden villages, drink wine in La Rioja, explore Mérida and the Extremadura region, and the list goes on.
How many days do I need?
While it's possible to have a fun trip to one of Spain's cities over a long weekend, we recommend at least 5 days if you really want to experience a region. Madrid makes for a great base for taking regional day trips, and the same goes for Barcelona—medieval coastal villages and hiking trails in the Pyrenees are all within driving distance.
If you have 10 days, choose between northern and southern Spain to minimize travel time. A southern route could include Madrid, Mérida (or another stop in Extremadura), Seville, and Granada. Travelers interested in the north can hit Barcelona, San Sebastian, Bilbao, Oviedo, and Santiago de Compostela. With two weeks or more, geography is no longer an issue—just connect the dots to form a country-wide itinerary.
Getting around Spain
Most travelers fly into either Madrid or Barcelona, and short, domestic flights are a convenient way to hop between major cities. Flying is also the best option for reaching the Canary Islands, Ceuta, and Melilla. For areas without airports, Spain’s high-speed AVE trains are fast and comfortable. Driving is another good option, as cities are mostly connected by well-maintained highways.
