=﻿The Patios Festival=

The Patios Festival takes place in Cordoba around the second and third week of May since 1918. This festival is basically brought to recognize the forgotten patio. During the Patio Festival, neighbors & tourists are on a search for the most beautiful patio. However, this festival was supposedly held to maintain this traditional area to honor the locals’ efforts. Many houses in the Historical Center open up their private patios to the public and compete in a contest. Both the architectural and floral decorations are taken into consideration to choose the winners. Awards are given as incentives to the best patios. A typical Cordovan patio is where friends & family come together, & the houses in Cordoba are centered around it. The Patios Festival is important because it’s remained as one of Cordoba’s traditions. Also, citizens of Cordoba love their patio & have very fond memories of it. Patios are something that is used daily in Cordoba & will always be cherished by fellow Cordovans.
