MAY - ¡MAYO!

The best time to visit the city. 'The Month of Córdoba'.

Feria de Córdoba - Last week in May, a huge fair of drinking, dancing, eating, and not working. Flamenco and salsa music. Highly recommended, the funniest party ever!

Cruces de Mayo - 1st week of May. Very funny, a lot of public squares in the city center, the old city, with big crosses flower-made, with music and drinks full of people having fun!

Cata de Vino-Montilla Moriles Cordovan Wine tasting fair. Very good wines and music in a huge tent in the city center.

Festival de Patios - About 2 weeks during May. People living in the ancient districts of Cordoba are proud to open their courtyards to visitors and participate in a contest in which colourful plants and different elements invite to contemplate the beauty of traditional style houses.

MARCH-APRIL

Semana Santa (The Week Before Easter) - Processions throughout town involving scenes from the life of Christ, bands, and penitents. Very nice cultural exhibition across this beautiful city. Approximately six processions each night from 6 p.m. to midnight.

FEBRUARY-MARCH

Carnaval A typical Andalusian carnival (not as huge as Cadiz's one, but very funny too). The city center is full of disguised people during the weekend, funny songs are sang throughout city squares.
