Plaza del Potro is one of Córdoba's most intact medieval squares — the 15th-century Fuente del Potro fountain at its centre, the Posada del Potro (once a traveller's inn where Cervantes slept, and said so in Don Quixote) along one side, and two excellent museums flanking the square: the Museo de Bellas Artes and the Julio Romero de Torres Museum. It's a quieter corner of Centro, 8 minutes from the Mezquita and significantly less crowded than the Judería. Hotels in this immediate area are limited, so most visitors base themselves in the broader Centro or Judería and walk. Casa de los Azulejos is 5 minutes from the square with a seasonal pool, free parking, and original 1934 Sevillian azulejos from €72. Hospes Palacio del Bailío is about 10 minutes with Roman mosaics under its restaurant floor — Córdoba's most architecturally significant hotel. Cats Hostel is 4 minutes from the square in a former monastery from €15.
