Description
This visit offers an overview of the culture of the patios in Cordoba. Follow an itinerary through a selection of patio-houses that have been awarded prizes in local competitions.
Enjoy a guided tour of the flower courtyards and patios of the city. The tour itinerary will take you through a selection of patio-houses that have been awarded prizes in the local competition and are located in the San Basilio Area.
These beautiful courtyards, maintained throughout the year, are usually only open to the public during the popular competition that takes place in May.

Discover intimate and private areas where you will have the opportunity to admire the beauty of flowers and plants and bring back to life traditions that are disappearing from habits and customs due to current ways of life.
