Los Patios de San Basilio
Admission included120 min
Undoubtedly, the patios are one of the emblems of the city. World Heritage from 2012, this tradition comes from the Romans and the Muslims. Therefore, we took these influences to create the beautiful courtyards, filling the houses with nature.
The locals will open us their own houses to discover six magnificent patios of the neighborhood of San Basilio. Some of them were rewarded during the renowned Festival de los Patios celebrated in May. What’s more, we’ll admire monuments like the Belén Tower and the Sculpture of the Patios.

Fantastic Tour Cordoba Patios
Rafa, an excellent guide, explains in a very pleasant and detailed way the history and culture of the Courtyards, including friendly notes that make the afternoon very pleasant. Despite being the first weekend of the Patio Festival, we could see even some more than the 6 planned. Highly recommended.

Lydia was a great guide!!
Our guide, Lydia, was just wonderful and full of so much history and explanation about the patios and what makes each one special. There are rules for qualifying to participate in the Patios Festival and Lydia knew them all. She clearly has a good repoire with the patio owners. The tour was very enjoyable.

Visit to the courtyards on March 14
visit to 5 San Basilio courtyards, which although not in their splendour are worth visiting mainly by the company (lydia), its explanations and fabulous treatment.
the people lovely owners especially one (Rafael)
the continued work during the year of these people with high maintenance costs and dedication and their willingness to admit visits without fixed contributions is detected.
I think they are not served by the main beneficiaries of tourism such as the board, town hall and shops.

Tradition, history and culture decorated with flowers. 100% recommended
We stayed this past weekend in Córdoba, initially we had the visit to the patios on Saturday at 5 pm, with Córdoba on foot, but since it was raining we called to cancel it. They did not put us any problems and gave us the possibility to make the visit on Sunday at 11 am, so in the morning we went to see the patios!
Our guide was Rafa, an attentive, super friendly person, who apart from showing us the patios also told us, in a very pleasant way, many curious things about the history of Córdoba.
I found the patios beautiful, decorated with a multitude of flowers, fountains and details that make them different from each other and unique. But what I liked most about the visit was the history that surrounds the courtyards, the as a common element of the houses, a meeting point of the neighbors, a place of coexistence, is decked and opens its doors to show a lifestyle that goes beyond the flowers. Flowers are the protagonists in the decoration but the real protagonists are the people who live there. And that's really why Unesco declared them as an Intangible Heritage Site
I found it a lovely visit, 100% recommended and when I return to Córdoba I will repeat without hesitation!
To thank Rafa for his time with us, his sympathy, his good work, and especially the great interest he showed in bringing us this bit of tradition and culture of Cordoba.

Excellent tour of the Cordoba patios
My boyfriend and I were this bridge in Cordoba, book us a couple of tours online, but one of them turned out to be a scam, on top of that they had left as contact phone number of this agency, almost gave us an attack waiting for the guide of the scam tour, but luckily we spoke with those of Cordoba on foot and made us happy the afternoon, they behaved very well with us and solved the problem, so thank you guys and especially Rafa our guide, a great professional who knows a lot about history, botany, and who has a good sense of humor. It was an interesting and enjoyable tour, I recommend it for those who wish to know the Cordoba patios. It's very worth it.
