The Province of Cordoba ...
Spain is a country steeped in history and many of our properties are centrally placed for day trips to visit the major cities of Malaga, Granada, Cordoba & Seville.
Tourism is especially intense in Córdoba during May because of the weather and as this month hosts three very popular festivals. The May Crosses Festival takes place at the beginning of the month. During three or four days, crosses of around 3 meters of height are placed in many squares and streets and decorated with flowers and a contest is held to choose the most beautiful one. Usually there is regional food and music near the crosses.
The Patios Festival is celebrated during the second and third week of the month. Many houses of the historic center open their private patios to the public and compete in a contest. Both the architectonic value and the floral decorations are taken into consideration to choose the winners. It is usually very difficult and expensive to find accommodation during the festival, so book with us well in advance.
Córdoba's Fair takes place at the ending of the month and is similar to the better known Seville Fair with some differences, mainly that the Seville one is private, while the Cordoba one is not.
The Mezquita
The Mezquita (Spanish for "mosque") of Cordoba is a Roman Catholic Cathedral originally built as a mosque in the Andalusian city of Cordoba, Spain. It is regarded as perhaps the most accomplished monument of the Umayyad dynasty of Córdoba.

Zuheros Caves
The Cueva de los Murcielagos is a spectacular limestone cave near Zuheros. It was inhabited in Neanderthal times and on the cave walls are paintings of animals and humans. There are also unusual limestone formations. Other discoveries made by archaeologists reveal that the caves were used for ritual functions at a later date. From the site of the cave are fantastic views of Zuheros.
