a a FESTIVAL OF THE PATIOS

During the first fortnight of May the popular Festival of the Patios is held. For two weeks, the people of Cordoba proudly open up their patios in the his- torical old town, adorning them with an abundance of pots of geraniums, carna- tions, jasmine, etc. They can be visited at practically any time of the day and there are often Flamenco shows as well as the chance to taste delicious tapas from Cordoba and Montilla-Moriles wine.

Experience the joy and colour that fill the city during the days of the Cordoba Fair , usually held at the end of May. Horse riders, gypsies and flamenco artists gather in the Arenal fairground, while people from Cordoba and out- siders come to drink, sing and dance in the marquees distributed in the differ-

ent fairground passages. L L Further information: patios.cordoba.es
