The Patios of Córdoba are less a single site than a stitched series of intimate gardens and architectural tableaux, discovered on foot amid the narrow, cobbled lanes of the Judería. On this guided stroll an expert guide leads small groups into private courtyards where color, scent and layered history create one of the city’s most evocative experiences.
