Patios de Córdoba: Guided Tour

The Córdobans didn't always have air con – they had to get creative. The charming courtyards of sunny Andalusia have long kept homes cool, and, luckily for us, they look rather fabulous!

The colorful flowers, ornate mosaics and ceramic decoration make for vibrant visuals, and alongside the pleasant scents of jasmine and orange blossoms, this historic city comes to life.

Mosey around five private patios with your expert guide and revel in the history of these unique and picturesque gardens.

The patios are a joy throughout the year, but especially during spring months and in May, when the UNESCO-recognized Fiesta de los Patios sees almost all of the courtyards open for public viewing.
