In addition to its blend of Christian and Moorish cultures, Córdoba is famous it’s flowered patios.  In fact, each May tens of thousands of visitors come to see the patios during their patio festival.  We were surprised to see some many flowers still in bloom on a cold, gloomy day on the fist of December. 

During the festival there are 50 patios open for tours, but at this time of year we toured only three patios in the San Basilio neighborhood.  I can only imagine how beautiful they are in May.
