Set in the historic old town, this festival invites visitors to wander through private patios that are lovingly decorated with vibrant flowers, aromatic plants, and sweet fragrances, creating an enchanting sensory experience. The festival, which has its roots in the early twentieth century, was temporarily interrupted during the Spanish Civil War but was revived in the fifties and continues to captivate visitors each year. The patios are open during specific hours, allowing guests to explore and admire the carefully arranged plants, colorful tiles, and intricate architectural details that reflect the city’s heritage.

They were free to visit and take pictures! But do give them tips!
KISHORE
The beautifully decorated patios of San Basilio neighbourhood of Cordoba was not something we had heard about. We went on a guided tour to this area, which was a lovely experience. Apparently, there is an annual competition of the patios in May and we were pleased to visit some former prize winners. The families were very welcoming and keen to explain about their proud exhibits, which were beautiful. We usually buy something or leave a little contribution as a token of their hard work. It was something which came as a pleasant surprise and we thoroughly enjoyed it.

Amazing walk, worth the money. Especially welcoming owners, open to discussing the gardens. The flowers are beautiful everywhere. Don't hesitate.

I went in August which was nice but it would be better in spring when the flowers are all blooming. They only tended to be open in the morning time and it's a good idea to have a good amount of coins with you as entry is based on a donation. Some had much friendly owners than others and hearing the stories was interesting.
