Feria De Los Patios De Cordoba 3

Every year, in the first half of May the Festival of the Courtyards or Patios is held in Cordoba. All the owners participating in the contest open up their courtyards for the public to visit. The tradition which was declared a part of our Intangible World Heritage by UNESCO in 2012. The festival is a competition allows you to discover the most beautiful courtyards in the “historic quarter” city and also experience the streets full of colour, smell the scent of jasmine and orange blossom and hear the strains of flamenco.

History of the Patios in Cordoba

The verdant patios and courtyards of Córdoba arose out of necessity, due to the unbearable heat and dryness of the Andalusian summer. The ancient Roman and Greek inhabitants of Cordoba started building their houses with a central patio and decorated with water fountains or wells. During the time of the Moors, the patios would include plants and trees, which helped keep local homes even cooler and more sheltered from the hot sun.

Soon after, the patios started being decorated with flowers, which gave birth to the patios as we know nowadays. In 1918, the first Patios Festival took place in Cordoba, and in 2002 the UNESCO inserted it the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

Types of Patios in Cordoba

There are usually two types of patios in Cordoba. The first one is the private patios which is owned and tended by a single family whose rooms are located around the patio.

The second, is a larger communal space called a neighbors house or casa de vecinos. Many years ago the large population of the city and growth in a short space of time made space become a premium. So families lived in these buildings and shared the patio, the central courtyard. These tend to be much larger and more elaborate, with long balconies, a communal wash room with adorable wood scrub boards and perhaps a fountain and decorative cobblestones.

With both types of patios they didn’t much space, so they made best use of the walls and decorated them with potted plants.

Guided tours and experiences 

Exploring with someone who knows the history and has experienced the culture of the courtyards is one of the best ways to understand and value it. There are different tour companies and organizations which offer multiple experiences and guided visits to patios throughout the year. Here are our recommended tours:

1. Patio Festival

Obviously the best time to experience the patios of Córdoba is in the first few weeks in May, when the Festival is on.  During the festival there are more than 50 courtyards of  flower-filled oases, open to the public. This calm, pastoral visit of the city is also an opportunity to chat with the residents and gardeners, who get prepared all year round to offer the best sight of colorful flowers.

Alongside the competition, the Patios also host some free events. The most picturesque ones are undoubtedly those about the Flamenco traditions, which give birth to a “es la fiesta de los patios de Cordoba” or the party in the patios that lasts two weeks!


| Hours: 11am to 2pm and 6pm to 10pm. | Price: Admission is free but sometimes there's a container for donations. | Website

6 Hours in Ronda

Ronda Malaga

This website uses affiliate links which earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.

Ronda is one of the most beautiful places in Andalusia. It is located on a rocky promontory. Divided in two by the Guadalevin River It’s famous for the Puente Nuevo, the bridge linking the two sides of the El Tajo Canyon.

1. Puente Nuevo and Museum

Puente Nuevo And Museum Ronda

We have seen this iconic bridge so many times in photographs and we wanted to see it for ourselves.

Construction started in 1734 and the first attempt to span the gorge was completed with one span, but it was not strong enough to withstand the stresses  and in 1741 the bridge collapsed killing 50 people. Construction commenced on the current bridge in 1759, standing 98m from base to top and taking 34 years to build.

An interpretation museum is inside the bridge, in a room under the road. 

During the Civil War both sides used the prison as a torture chamber and some unfortunate prisoners were thrown over the bridge into the gorge below!


Location: Puente Nuevo Calle Armiñán, s/n 29400 Ronda Málaga Spain | Hours: Monday to Friday: 10 am – 7 pm Saturday, Sunday and Festive: 10 am – 3 pm | Price: €2 | Website

3. House of the Moorish King

Not far away from Ronda’s Puente Nuevo is ‘La Casa del Rey Moro’ – allegedly the house of a Moorish King – hence its name. However, the current building is an 18th century palace so its claims seem slightly exaggerated!  with beautiful gardens designed by Forestier, the famous French garden designer.

We did explore the water mine that were in the gardens which were fascinating. Apparently originally powered by Christian Slaves!


Location: La Casa del Rey Moro, Calle Cuesta de Santo Domingo, 9 29400 Ronda Málaga Spain | Hours: 10am-9.30pm May-Sep, to 8pm Oct-Apr | Price: €6 | Website

4. Moorish Baths

Arab Baths Ronda 4

These 13th century thermal baths are the best preserved in Spain. Situated close to the river in the artisans and tanners quarter. An excellent film explains what they were like in ancient times. The walk toward the town center has the most amazing views. We left the baths and turned left and went up a staircase to the mudejar gate into Ronda.

Close by is a water wheel still intact that dates from the Moorish era.


Location: Baños Arabes, Yacimiento Arqueológico, Calle Molino de Alarcón, s/n 29400 Ronda Málaga Spain | Hours: Monday to Friday: 10 am – 7 pm Saturday, Sunday and Festive: 10 am – 3 pm | Price: €3.50, Free Tue | Website

6. Plaza de Toros de Ronda

Ronda Bullring

This was recognized as the first purpose built bullring in Spain. Built in 1785 it can host 5,000 people. We saw the bulls pens and the riding school.

I had mixed feelings about visiting the bullring with the cruelty and certain death of the tortured  bull. However, reading the history of bullfighting, seeing the matador costumes and a collection of paintings were very interesting. We saw a collection of the Royal House of Orleons. 


Location: Plaza de Toros de Ronda, 15 Calle Virgen de la Paz, Ronda, Spain, | Hours: Mo-Sun: 10 am – 8 pm Free entrance (for EU citizens): Monday (8 am – 10 am), Tuesday and Wednesday (9 am – 10 am) | Price: €8 (€9.50 with audioguide | Website

Although you can see Ronda in a day we spent far too long marvelling at the views from the bridge, so missed out several interesting parts.

Ronda now is yet another place on our wish list to return to in the future!

12 Hours in Seville - Best things to see!

Plaza Espana Seville

This website uses affiliate links which earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.

Seville is an exciting city, situated on the banks of the Guadalquivir River. We have visited it twice before, once in springtime when the jacaranda trees were in full bloom, massive trees with beautiful purple flowers. The other time we sailed a boat up the river, which was a brilliant way to arrive.

This time when we visited the Seville it was too early for the blossom but it is still an amazing place to spend a few days being famous for its cathedral, beautiful parks, palaces, the Triana area’s flamenco dancing and tapas bars.

Now the capital of Andalusia, Seville was built during the Moorish Almohad dynasty and later became a 16th century metropolis. Seville usually has good weather with approximately 300 days of sunshine per year.

1. Alcazar of Seville

Real Alcazar Of Seville

This was built for King Peter of Castillo on the site of an Albadid Muslim fortress 

The King of Spain still stays there in the upper part of the castle and for an extra fee you can visit this part of the castle. We didn’t because there was enough to see in this amazing palace with the limited time we had to spare. We bought a ticket on line at the official website to save queuing. If we had gone on Monday afternoon it would have been free entry.

We walked from courtyard to beautiful courtyard, spending a long time looking at the carved celings. The domed ceiling in the Ambassadors Hall is stunning. We walked through a maze of tile covered rooms, we even got  lost at one point in the warren of rooms!

We enjoyed the garden even more than the palatial castle, the orange blossom smelt amazing! There were typical Muslim style pools and fountains, pavilions, statues; in the English garden we sat and watched the peacocks and luckily they don’t peck at you as do the Seville pidgeons.

We were glad that we arrived early at 9.30am before the massive crowds who arrive for the tours that start at 11am.


Location: Patio de Banderas, s/n 41004 Sevilla Spain | Hours: From October to March: 9.30 am – 5 pm From April to September: 9.30 am – 7 pm Closed: January 1st and 6th, Good Friday and on December 25th | Price: €11.50 | Website

2. The Seville Cathedral

Seville Cathedral Spain

Seville’s cathedral is the largest Gothic cathedral in the world and is recognised as UNESCO World Heritage. The building is 126 metres long and 83 metres wide with a ceiling height of 37 metres. The construction lasted over a century from 1401 to 1506. 

The basilica is over the ruins of the Aljama mosque which was destroyed by an earthquake in 1356. The mosque was built in the 12th century by the Almohads, the ruling Moorish dynasty, the only remaining parts are the Patio de los Naranjas, a large courtyard. A large portal (door of Pardon) leads to the patio. The stone fountain in the centre may even be from the Roman era. The other building remaining after the earthquake is the lower section of the Bell tower, the Giralda.

The most spectacular part of the interior is the main altar piece. Designed by Piere Dancart who worked for over 40 years, starting in 1482. It has the largest altarpiece in the world depicting scenes from the old testament and the lives of saints. In the centre is a statue of Santa Maria de la Sede.

4. The Cathedral Bell Tower

Giralda Sevilla Catherdral

We found the view from the Bell Tower stunning. Our guide was very knowledgeable and did a great job of entertaining us as well as guiding us. The climb up the tiny narrow staircase was quite difficult unless you are very fit. I will probably not do this again in the near future!

Between the Cathedral, Tomb and Bell Tower I was surprised we were in the cathedral complex for nearly three hours, there was so much to see.


Location: La Giralda Av. de la Constitución, s/n 41004 Sevilla Spain | Hours: Monday: 11:00 to 15:30 (16:30 to 18:00 free audioguide when reserved in advance) Tuesday to Saturday: 11:00 to 17:00 Sunday: 14:30 to 18:00 | Price: €10 / €5 | Website

5. Plaza de Espana

Plaza Espana Seville

We headed to the Parque De Maria Luisa, but the Plaza Espana was so close we decided to pop over and have a look. 

The Plaza de España was built in the 1920’s on the edge of the Parque de María Luisa for the Ibero-American World’s Fair held in 1929. The main attraction here is, of course, the imposing half-circle structure made up of pavilions and galleries and towers, all surrounded by a moat with bridges connecting it to the giant square and fountain on the other side.

One of the highlights of the Plaza was discovering the alcoves that represent each of the provinces of Spain. Each one is colorfully decorated with painted tiles depicting scenes from that area’s history, alongside each bench is a bookcase where people can leave books about that area.

A 100 acre Park that stretches along the Guadalquivir River and was created in 1911 and redesigned for the 1929 Ibero American exposition. A large and well known park, it has everything, with flowers, fountains, statues and lots of shady trees for shelter from the summer heat.

We walked through the Parque De Maria Luisa and into the adjacent Plaza of Americans.


Location: Paseo de las Delicias, s/n 41013 Sevilla Spain | Hours: Nov 01 to Mar 31: 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM Apr 01 to Oct 31: 8:00 AM to 12:00 AM | Price: Free | Website

7. Plaza de America

We found a man selling bird seed and spent an enjoyable afternoon feeding the birds. I did end up with a few scratches from some rather aggressive pigeons and was a bit wary when they landed on my head, but on the whole it was great fun.

The Park teemed with wild birds. We spent a long time just wandering around watching the parakeets and the ducks. This was a great place to chill out after a few days looking at the famous museums and palaces.

After enjoying the wildlife we decided to stop at one of the bars in the park for some refreshing drinks.

8. Las Teresas

LasTeresas Seville

When we are in Spain we love visiting tapas bars. Las Teresas was opened in 1870. It is close to the Giralda Tower and the Santa Cruz Church in the Jewish quarter. We went there on a Friday night but should have known better because it is their busiest time and the service can be erratic. However, the atmosphere was good and the Iberian ham and spinach with chickpeas that we chose was well worth waiting for.

9. Baraka Sala Famenca

Baraka Sala Famenca

A visit to Seville would not have been complete without a visit to a flamenco show. We chose the Baraka Sala Famenca to give us a taste of Triana. The fabulous show was definitely worth the money and we were glad that we had chosen their smaller, more intimate setting. Our last evening was magical; the show was amazing with superb dancing, singing, clapping and guitar playing.

Festivals

Two of the major festivals are Easter Week and the Feria de Abril. We have decided that when we visit the  city again it will be in April. The city is filled with music, food dancing and entertainment. The women all wear flamenco dresses, so it only leaves me to buy a new flamenco dress before next April and we will be there!

A Day in Cádiz

A Day In Cadiz

This website uses affiliate links which earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.

Occupying a tiny peninsula on the south coast of Spain, Cádiz is a beautiful old city that is well worth a visit. The old town is on the tip of the peninsula and is steeped in history. In 1493 Christopher Columbus set off on his second voyage to the New World from this port.  In the 16th century it was the home of the Spanish Navy. In 1587 Francis Drake led a raid on this port and destroyed 30 ships. It has more than 100 watchtowers and was the base for exploration and trade.

1. Cadiz Museum

Museum Of Cadiz 9

We started our day with a visit to the Cadiz Museum.  This was founded in 1970 after the merger of the Museum of Fine Arts with the Museum of Archaeology. We enjoyed looking around this museum where there were interesting historical pieces from both Phoeician and Roman times and the old marionette puppets were really interesting. This museum depicts the history of Cádiz from the stone age to colonial times.

The museum is on one of the lively squares, where there are plenty of bars to find some refreshments or early morning coffee!


Location: Plaza de Mina, s/n, 11004, Cádiz. | Hours: Tuesdays to Saturdays from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM; Sundays and public holidays from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Closed on Mondays. | Price: Free | Website

2. Torre Tavira

Next on our agenda was the 18th century watch tower set in the heart of Cádiz old town. This tower is a long climb with 10 flights of stairs, but when you reach the top you are rewarded with the best views of the city. But I would have second thoughts about walking up all those stairs again. Also in the tower is a darkened room where you can get a live tour of the city through the lens of a camera mounted on top of the tower.



Location: Torre Tavira, Calle Marqués del Real Tesoro, 10 11001 Cádiz Spain | Hours: October – april: 10.00 – 18.00 hrs. May – september: 10.00 – 20.00 hrs. | Price: 7 Euro | Website

A small bar/restaurant in the centre of Cádiz, just next door to the Central Market, with tables in the street. An ideal stop off for a light snack. Great atmosphere and the food was excellent. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We tried a number of shellfish dishes with patata bravas. A fabulous place to eat.

5. Cadiz Cathedral

From the tower we took a short walk to the Catedral de Cádiz. The walk took us via the conveniently placed Plaza de Las Flores, one of the most colorful and lively squares in the
city of Cádiz.


This beautiful golden, domed cathedral in the heart of the Old Town and viewed from almost anywhere in the city. It was constructed in the Baroque style and later completed in the neoclassical style. We thought it was well worth going up the Bell Tower to enjoy the amazing views over the city and the sea.

6. Roman Theatre

Roman Theathre Cadiz 2

A little theatre tucked away between buildings . The site was only discovered in the 1980’s and I can understand why because although we walked around the building it took us a while to find the entrance even using Google location! An interesting place to visit with a viewing area of the remains of the theatre and also a room with a reproduction of what the theatre looked like in Roman times.

8. Victoria Beach and the Cadiz surf Centre

Sunset Victoria Beach Cadiz

This is a long stretch of beach with lovely white sand and waves rolling in. There are also several beach bars for refreshments. We decided to end the day drinking a well earned beer while watching the sunset. We thought surfing was too energetic for us, but we met some people at the bar who had taken the surf classes for beginners earlier in the day – they said it was great, the instructor was very good and they were eager to return again to try surfing again!
