Private excursion to the courtyards of Cordoba in spring
One of the great attractions of traveling to Cordoba is to walk through the alleys of its historic center … and access to see beautiful courtyards decorated with flowers.
Precisely one of the most visited corners of the historic center is known as the Alley of Flowers. It is a very narrow alleyway always decorated with flowering plants, which leads you to a small square
But this scene of whitewashed walls covered with pots of flowering plants can be found in dozens of courtyards that are distributed throughout much of the historic center.
So much so that a route visiting Cordoba’s courtyards becomes one of the attractions of a tourist day in this city of Andalusia.
This activity reaches its culmination during the annual celebration of the Festival of the Courtyards of Cordoba,
In this festival you can visit dozens of patios that are specially decorated to participate in this traditional contest that takes place during a couple of weeks in May.
The courtyards of Cordoba and other Andalusian towns follow the tradition established in Roman houses, and then in Muslim ones, whereby a courtyard with a paved floor, a garden area and the presence of a fountain or well is opened in the centre of a house.
This tradition is common in hot regions such as Andalusia, so the patio is a refreshing corner where water is of great importance.
Visits to wineries
A visit to a winery can be the perfect complement to a private excursion to Cordoba. Its wineries are part of the history of wine
The wineries of Cordoba are a must visit, not only because of their cultural heritage and the special characteristics of their wines, but also because of the diversity of proposals and a complete range of activities, from an equestrian show in a winery, to discovering the art of winemaking in a wine press, 4×4 or train rides through the vineyards, lunches in wineries and wine presses, the celebration of the Harvest Festival, the New Wine Festival or even the Cordoba Wine Tasting, among others.
Going hand in hand with someone who knows and lives the culture of the patios is one of the best ways to understand and value it.
