Walking Tour of Cordoba's Patios, Jewish Quarter & Mosque Cathedral

On this tour, we'll visit the most important monuments of Córdoba declared World Heritage by UNESCO, such as the Mosque - Cathedral, the Jewish quarter with its narrow streets and the Medieval Synagogue. I will also be showing you some of the courtyards inside the private houses which participate in the Festival of Patios, which was declared as an Intangible World Heritage in 2012. I'm excited to tell you how this centennial festival still develops every year! One of the highlights of this tour is that it allows you the opportunity to meet the owners of these private houses, and through this experience you will learn why every courtyard is different and unique. I will help you as the language intermediary with these families, and through this visit you'll get acquainted with their traditions and way of life.
