Patios by Polly74
At any time, behind any door, you can find the typical Cordobesian patio of great historical importance, where the water murmurs, the flowers seem to speckle the walls and the grates of the windows with blood, and the Crosses of May come alive between the notes sprung from the strings of a guitar or the depth of cante, that mixes the fiber of life in a laughter centered in the mixture of the cultures.The Cordobesian patios are a reminiscence of the climate conditions of this city; they are an essential part of the housing.
Whitewash walls, fountains, columns, and flowers, they are simply comforting in such warm climate.
The houses that surround the patios acquire a communal life, sharing their chickens, galleries and backyard, laundry facilities, and of course, the patio, which through their careful upkeep led to the development of the traditional patio festivities
