This was in 169 BC, and its founder was the then praetor Marcus Claudius Marcellus, who later became consul. From its earliest days it was a prestigious place, inhabited mainly by patricians from Rome itself.   <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This fact, along with its gradual population growth, led it to become the capital of Hispania Ulterior, one of the two provinces that Hispania had in the Republican era. Little by little it became more monumental, limiting the use of adobe and increasing the use of marble and limestone. One of the most famous figures in Roman history was posted here: Julius Caesar, who served as quaestor and, according to the poet Martial, planted a plane tree in what are today the gardens of the Alc\u00e1zar of the Christian Monarchs. This politician and military leader won a battle near C\u00f3rdoba (Munda) against Pompey\u2019s faction, opening the doors to power in Rome.   <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Later, in the Imperial period, it was also the capital of Hispania Ulterior Baetica, maintaining its political, social and cultural importance: it had a forum, theatre, aqueduct and amphitheatre, among other major structures. It was also the birthplace of one of the greatest philosophers of the Roman Empire and of history as a whole: Seneca.

From 711 and in just a few years, almost the entire Iberian Peninsula fell into the hands of the Muslim conquerors, who called it Al-Andalus, soon choosing this city as its capital, in three distinct phases: <\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Until 756, as an Emirate politically dependent on Damascus, the Umayyad capital, which had led an enormous territorial expansion for a century<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From 756 to 929: after the fall of the Caliphate of Damascus, several independent emirates were created, such as the Rustamids and the Idrisids in North Africa. Abd al-Rahman I, an Umayyad who managed to escape the revolts in Damascus, arrived in C\u00f3rdoba and founded his own independent emirate. Even so, they all depended spiritually on the caliph of Baghdad, of the Abbasid dynasty.  <\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From 929 to 1031: under Abd al-Rahman III, C\u00f3rdoba proclaimed complete independence, even in religious matters, giving full powers to the Cordoban caliph in his territories. The symbol of that era was the palatine city of Medina Azahara, located about 8 km from the capital and today one of the must-do excursions for anyone who comes to   <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">C\u00f3rdoba for sightseeing<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From 1031 to 1236: after the fall of the Caliphate of C\u00f3rdoba, the city remained Muslim and the capital of its taifa.

Its importance was enormous in many respects, beyond the political and religious. For example, financially, economically and commercially, with coin minting, a highly developed artisan industry and very advanced agricultural techniques. It was also a demographic benchmark: some sources indicate it may have reached more than 400,000 inhabitants during the Caliphal period, which would have made it one of the largest cities in the world at the time, rivaling Baghdad and Constantinople. It had numerous public baths and around a thousand mosques, the most important being the Mosque-Cathedral, which can be visited today.    <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But above all, it was its culture that brought fame to  <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">C\u00f3rdoba.

People from other parts of Castile and Navarre arrived in the new Christian city. The best testimony of that period is the so-called Fernandine churches, more than a dozen, which were sometimes built on top of mosques that had in turn been built on Visigothic churches. If you come to     <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">C\u00f3rdoba for sightseeing<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> you will discover a themed route that will take you through them, where monastic Romanesque gradually gives way to a Gothic style with Mudejar influence. In addition, the main mosque was consecrated as a cathedral, and building modifications began from that point onwards.  <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The following Castilian kings, during the 13th and 14th centuries, also made construction contributions in this period. For example, the Convent of Santa Clara in the time of Alfonso X, the current synagogue, and the expansion of the Alc\u00e1zar of the Christian Monarchs under Alfonso XI, as well as the Calahorra Tower and the Royal Chapel of the Mosque-Cathedral under Henry II.  <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the 15th century, C\u00f3rdoba stood out as one of the operating centres of the Catholic Monarchs during the conquest of the Kingdom of Granada, using the Alc\u00e1zar of the Christian Monarchs as their court. Also from this era was one of the most important figures in C\u00f3rdoba\u2019s history: Gonzalo Fern\u00e1ndez, the Great Captain, born in nearby Montilla but raised in the city. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-53799ed elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"53799ed\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-85879c4\" data-id=\"85879c4\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-79d7535 wcf-starter-animations-none wcf-t-animation-none elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"79d7535\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;wcf_starter_animations&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;wcf_anim_duration&quot;:1000,&quot;wcf_anim_delay&quot;:0,&quot;wcf_anim_ease&quot;:&quot;ease&quot;,&quot;wcf_text_animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;wcf-animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">C\u00f3rdoba under the Habsburgs and Bourbons<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-759e4b1 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"759e4b1\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-51bdcab\" data-id=\"51bdcab\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9dd52f7 wcf-starter-animations-none wcf-t-animation-none elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9dd52f7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;wcf_starter_animations&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;wcf_anim_duration&quot;:1000,&quot;wcf_anim_delay&quot;:0,&quot;wcf_anim_ease&quot;:&quot;ease&quot;,&quot;wcf_text_animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;wcf-animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Under the Habsburg dynasty, the city lost political and demographic weight, despite remaining faithful to Charles I during the War of the Communities of Castile. Even so, Spanish monarchs devoted some of their attention to this city. For example, the aforementioned Charles I interceded to allow the works for the new cathedral over the mosque structure to go ahead, although it seems he later regretted it. As you will see when you come to     <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">C\u00f3rdoba for sightseeing<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, it was a controversial project from the very beginning. His son Philip II visited, as commemorated by the Puerta del Puente, built under his reign, and made some modifications to the Alc\u00e1zar of the Christian Monarchs. Another 16th-century structure is the Church of the Company.  <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 17th century brought even greater decline, with few construction milestones for the city, except for the Plaza de la Corredera, begun in the previous century. In 1700, before the arrival of the Bourbon dynasty, the city is estimated to have had no more than 30,000 inhabitants. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The new dynasty also failed to help the city take off during the 18th century, with no major historical episodes to mention and few significant construction projects, except the Colegio de Ni\u00f1as de Santa Victoria, by the royal architect Ventura Rodr\u00edguez. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 19th century began badly, with outbreaks of yellow fever in the southern peninsula and instability from the Peninsular War and its consequences, as the city was looted by Napoleonic troops. In this century, the city showed a clear liberal streak and supported uprisings for the cause, such as the overthrow of Isabella II during the Glorious Revolution of 1868. Nevertheless, the most notable Cordoban name of the century was the Duke of Rivas, a distinguished playwright and statesman.  <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b83838e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b83838e\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8444154\" data-id=\"8444154\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b4c4371 wcf-starter-animations-none wcf-t-animation-none elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b4c4371\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;wcf_starter_animations&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;wcf_anim_duration&quot;:1000,&quot;wcf_anim_delay&quot;:0,&quot;wcf_anim_ease&quot;:&quot;ease&quot;,&quot;wcf_text_animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;wcf-animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">C\u00f3rdoba in the 20th and 21st centuries<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-ed5be7b elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ed5be7b\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-50668e1\" data-id=\"50668e1\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-711e019 wcf-starter-animations-none wcf-t-animation-none elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"711e019\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;wcf_starter_animations&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;wcf_anim_duration&quot;:1000,&quot;wcf_anim_delay&quot;:0,&quot;wcf_anim_ease&quot;:&quot;ease&quot;,&quot;wcf_text_animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;wcf-animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was not until the 20th century that C\u00f3rdoba began to experience clear demographic growth, although this did not lead to an economic boom. Without major industrial investment or projects to modernise infrastructure, the mood in the first decades of the century was somewhat negative, something that already characterised the local spirit to a large extent. This largely remained the case after the Civil War, which did not have effects as devastating as in other cities, and during the Franco era.  <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the arrival of Democracy, the city\u2019s growth accelerated until it became the third most populous city in Andalusia, a development driven largely by rural exodus from the province, which helped make the city what some called the Red Caliphate, as it was a historic stronghold of the left.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, much has changed compared to previous decades: it is a more open and dynamic city. This is largely due to a project that revitalised   <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">C\u00f3rdoba and its tourism<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: the inauguration of the Madrid\u2013Seville high-speed rail line (AVE).

Built in the 1st century AD, it was remodelled several times later on, although it still preserves much of its original aesthetic.  <strong>It is over 300 metres long and has 16 arches. It is also the most outstanding monument of what relatively little remains of Roman Corduba. <\/strong>, <strong>which<\/strong> <strong>was undoubtedly one of the great cities of Hispania<\/strong>.

It is <strong>the Puerta del Puente and was built under the \u0906\u0926\u0947\u0936 of Philip II<\/strong>.

Tourism <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">  in the city draws heavily on its appeal, as the figures show: <strong>it is the city\u2019s third most visited site, with close to half a million tourists a year<\/strong>, behind only the Mosque\u2013Cathedral and the synagogue. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>This is the fortified complex that served as the residence of the Castilian kings after the reconquest of the city in 1236<\/strong>. With Arab and Visigothic remains, the Caliphal palatine complex once stood on this very site, but Ferdinand III \u201cthe Saint\u201d found it ravaged after taking the city. His son Alfonso X began the reconstruction, which was continued by other monarchs in the following century. In time, it fell into disuse by the Spanish monarchy, but <strong>it served other purposes, such as the headquarters of the Inquisition or a prison.<\/strong>    <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The complex, markedly rectangular, <strong>has four towers at each corner<\/strong>: <strong>the Dove Tower<\/strong>, <strong>the Tower of Homage<\/strong>, <strong>the Inquisition Tower<\/strong> and <strong>the Lions Tower<\/strong>.

For example, the stretch on both sides of   <\/span><b>the Puerta de Almod\u00f3var<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, about 350 metres long. Other famous sections, from the Muslim period or later, that have survived to the present day are <strong>the Puerta de Sevilla<\/strong>, <strong>the Malmuerta Tower<\/strong> and <strong>the Guadalcabrillas Tower<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next to the Alc\u00e1zar is another place of interest for travellers visiting <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">C\u00f3rdoba for sightseeing<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It took shape at the time of Philip II\u2019s aforementioned visit to C\u00f3rdoba in 1570 and, moreover, it will be the favourite visit for those with a fondness for horses: we are referring to <strong>the Royal Stables<\/strong>. This  <\/span><b>building, adjoining the Alc\u00e1zar of the Christian Monarchs,<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> <strong>reflects the Habsburg monarch\u2019s passion for horses and, in particular, for the Andalusian breed<\/strong>, which has had one of its great operational centres here over the centuries. Or, as the Granada poet Federico Garc\u00eda Lorca put it, its \u201ccathedral of horses\u201d. Even during C\u00f3rdoba\u2019s Muslim period, stables existed here. Indeed, it is worth remembering that <strong>the horse was of great importance in medieval Islamic culture and is at the origin of the Spanish breed<\/strong>. However, Philip II strongly backed this space, with large vaulted, colonnaded halls, as well as a spacious open courtyard. <strong>The most spectacular time to experience this site is during the equestrian show Pasi\u00f3n y Duende del Caballo Andaluz, a blend of flamenco and horsemanship with several performances each week<\/strong>.     <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, <strong>as you explore <\/strong><\/span><strong>C\u00f3rdoba for sightseeing<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong> you are likely to come across palaces and houses that will catch your eye. Some house the province\u2019s main public institutions, while others are private buildings of some significance. <\/strong>. One example is <strong>the Palacio de la Merced<\/strong>, which <strong>currently serves as the seat of the Provincial Council of C\u00f3rdoba<\/strong>. Its beautiful fa\u00e7ade hints at its former use: <strong>it was a convent, where Christopher Columbus stayed for a time while awaiting an audience with the Catholic Monarchs<\/strong>. Inside, the most spectacular feature is the marble yet colourful central cloister.   <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Another religious building that changed use is the former Hospital of San Sebasti\u00e1n, now the Conference Centre<\/strong>. With elements of Mud\u00e9jar, Flamboyant Gothic and Plateresque styles, it is a fine example of how a historic building can be adapted to new purposes. And <strong>another construction that stands out, for its size and shape, is the Plaza de la Corredera<\/strong>, one of the few enclosed, rectangular main squares in all of Andalusia. It was built at the end of the 17th century.   <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f463b46 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f463b46\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f3fce33\" data-id=\"f3fce33\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c9d0199 wcf-starter-animations-none wcf-t-animation-none elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c9d0199\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;wcf_starter_animations&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;wcf_anim_duration&quot;:1000,&quot;wcf_anim_delay&quot;:0,&quot;wcf_anim_ease&quot;:&quot;ease&quot;,&quot;wcf_text_animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;wcf-animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Green areas<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7919f48 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7919f48\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5c448dd\" data-id=\"5c448dd\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0b0be85 wcf-starter-animations-none wcf-t-animation-none elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0b0be85\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;wcf_starter_animations&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;wcf_anim_duration&quot;:1000,&quot;wcf_anim_delay&quot;:0,&quot;wcf_anim_ease&quot;:&quot;ease&quot;,&quot;wcf_text_animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;wcf-animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the Guadalquivir you will also find <strong>one of the city\u2019s most important natural spaces: the Soto de la Albolafia<\/strong>. This is the stretch of river between the Roman Bridge and the San Rafael Bridge, and it was <strong>declared a \u201cnatural monument\u201d by the Regional Government of Andalusia<\/strong>.

The same is true of ceramics, both for everyday items and decorative tiles. <strong>But perhaps the most local and renowned is Cordoban filigree<\/strong>: goldsmithing in gold, silver and other materials, always designed with intricate geometric or vegetal forms.  <\/p><p><strong>As for traditional celebrations, Holy Week stands out, which, as in the rest of Andalusia, is deeply rooted. With more than thirty processions and more than fifty floats, <\/strong>C\u00f3rdoba\u2019s Easter celebrations have become <i>more Seville-like<\/i> in recent years, gaining ever greater appeal, which has earned them National Tourist Interest status.<\/p><p>The patron saint festival is the Vel\u00e1 de la Fuensanta, around 8 September, when stalls fill with ceramic little bells, especially aimed at children. Meanwhile, the city\u2019s protective archangel, Saint Raphael, is celebrated on 24 October, when C\u00f3rdoba residents go to the Los Villares peri-urban park to enjoy the typical peroles, which we explain further below. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b6bc621 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b6bc621\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-fd55802\" data-id=\"fd55802\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-29da7e8 wcf-starter-animations-none wcf-t-animation-none elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"29da7e8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;wcf_starter_animations&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;wcf_anim_duration&quot;:1000,&quot;wcf_anim_delay&quot;:0,&quot;wcf_anim_ease&quot;:&quot;ease&quot;,&quot;wcf_text_animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;wcf-animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3><b>May, the big and flower-filled month<\/b><\/h3><p><strong>May is synonymous with celebration and tradition in<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> <strong> C\u00f3rdoba<\/strong>. Tourism <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> peaks during this month, when some of its most important festivities take place. For example, <strong>the Battle of the Flowers, held on 1 May, with a parade of numerous floats from which flowers are thrown to the public<\/strong> by people dressed in traditional costumes. <strong>Just as colourful is the May Crosses festival, in which numerous crosses made of flowers are placed on fa\u00e7ades and in public spaces around the city, while people enjoy food and drink outdoors together<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile, <strong>the great popular fair, the C\u00f3rdoba Fair, takes place at the end of May at the Arenal fairground in honour of the Virgin of Health<\/strong>. The atmosphere blends flamenco music and fashion with a parade of horses and riders, in the classic casetas where it is impossible to be bored.  <\/span><\/p><p><strong>But without a doubt, C\u00f3rdoba\u2019s most important festival for tourism<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> <strong>internationally is the Popular Festival of the Patios, so much so that it has been listed as UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage<\/strong>. It is held in the second or third week of May and aims to decorate the courtyards of homes in the historic centre, which are a hallmark of local housing. The magic lies not only in the burst of colour created by flowerpots against dazzling white walls, but also in the hospitality with which homeowners open their doors to neighbours and tourists so they can admire the beauty of the whole. \u201cGitanillas\u201d, geraniums, carnations, bougainvillea and petunias are among the most commonly used flowers, although in some courtyards the predominant colour is the green of other spectacular plants without blooms. And, as you might expect, <strong>this festival provides an excuse for a much broader cultural programme<\/strong>, including musical performances in the courtyards, dance shows, tastings of typical local food products, and much more.    <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-013f8c0\" data-id=\"013f8c0\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1a80cfe elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"1a80cfe\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;wcf-animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-9c6e886 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"9c6e886\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c98e4d7\" data-id=\"c98e4d7\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ec1805f wcf-starter-animations-none wcf-t-animation-none elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ec1805f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;wcf_starter_animations&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;wcf_anim_duration&quot;:1000,&quot;wcf_anim_delay&quot;:0,&quot;wcf_anim_ease&quot;:&quot;ease&quot;,&quot;wcf_text_animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;wcf-animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Leisure and entertainment tourism in C\u00f3rdoba<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7499a15 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7499a15\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1aa5f27\" data-id=\"1aa5f27\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2fce268 wcf-starter-animations-none wcf-t-animation-none elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2fce268\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;wcf_starter_animations&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;wcf_anim_duration&quot;:1000,&quot;wcf_anim_delay&quot;:0,&quot;wcf_anim_ease&quot;:&quot;ease&quot;,&quot;wcf_text_animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;wcf-animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Whatever time of year you visit C\u00f3rdoba for sightseeing,<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>you will have the opportunity to add an excellent leisure option to your programme<\/strong>.

But from the tourist\u2019s point of view, the most interesting will be the <strong>festivals dedicated to this instrument<\/strong>: <strong>Trasteando con la Guitarra Flamenca and the C\u00f3rdoba International Guitar Festival<\/strong>.

It hosts not only plays, but also dance performances, comedy and other genres. It also stages numerous musical acts.
