Itinerary
Day 1
The Patios and their Perfumes
Guided tour through the neighborhoods of Santa Marina, San Lorenzo and San Agustín to see the most beautiful patios of the Popular Contest of Patios, Bars and Balconies organized by the City Council of Cordoba in the month of May since 1933.
The Patios suppose a unique tradition in the world and they are many and varied. The private patios are in single-family houses and sometimes in houses inhabited by several families, in any case, their owners take care of them throughout the year.
It is difficult to find two equal patios, although all have whitewashed walls, many pots and many flowers: jasmine, honeysuckle, geraniums, wallflowers, carnations or roses.
The month of May is the ideal time to see them and during the contest is when you can see all those involved, about 50 courtyards that are scattered throughout the city. Los Patios y sus Perfumes is a pioneer guided tour through neighborhoods located in more unknown areas of the city by the visitor coming to Córdoba.
10 to 15 patios are visited, many of them winners of first prizes of the Popular Contest.
