With this tour, in which you will enter 6 of the most outstanding courtyards of Cordoba, you will discover how these spaces, already present in ancient civilizations of the Middle East, were adopted by Romans and Muslims, who adapted their houses to gain freshness, light and privacy.

Throughout the tour, your expert guide will show you unique examples where water is integrated into ponds, fountains and irrigation channels, creating an atmosphere of calm and beauty.

Get up close and personal with the most authentic corners, cared for by local families, while listening to the stories that bring each of these floral paradises to life.

    The visit was spectacular, the guide showed us and explained us the passion of the people of Cordoba to take care of their patios. Without a doubt the best choice to get to know the Cordoban patios and their characteristics.

    The best tour to get to know the outer cordoba, it is little known as people tend to go to the typical places.
