YouTube Video VVVud0dBczM3Z3ZCRC0taEMtNFAxMmlBLnNpRXNfZTVkcmQ4 ​If you are planning to experience the world-famous Córdoba courtyards route, exploring the traditional ruta de patios is one spectacular thing you cannot miss!​This video marks the 5th and final patio of my 5-part series exploring this incredible Córdoba courtyards route, and we are closing things out at a truly fascinating location: Duartas 2. While many stops on this trail are famous for ancient history, Duartas 2 stands out because of its beautiful, award-winning modern architecture. Built with multiple levels, clean lines, and an amazing contemporary framework, it proves that the courtyard tradition is still thriving and evolving today!​As a solo traveler, finishing the journey at Duartas 2 gives you such a great perspective on how local families blend modern architectural living spaces with the classic cascade of vibrant, blooming flower pots. The way the dense rows of flowers climb the contemporary white walls is absolutely breathtaking. Thank you so much for following along with this 5-part route—make sure to subscribe, check out the full playlist on the channel, and drop a comment letting me know which of the 5 patios was your absolute favorite!​📸 QUICK TRAVEL TIP: While the official Patios Festival happens in May, you can actually visit a selection of these beautiful private courtyards year-round by buying a combined ticket for the San Basilio route. It costs around €5 to €6 and lets you view several patios while directly supporting the local families who maintain them.​🏰 GOOD TO KNOW: When entering these spaces, remember that they are located inside actual residential homes! Be respectful, keep your voice down, and always ask before taking close-up portraits of the owners. Drop a comment below if you’ve ever seen anything like these flower-filled courtyards!​#córdoba #patios #flowers #courtyard #flowergarden #florpalida #cordobaespaña #cordobaspain #cordobaesp #courtyardhouse #RutaDePatios #PatiosDeCordoba #courtyarddesign #HiddenGemsSpain #CourtyardsCordoba​🎟️ BOOK THE SAN BASILIO PATIOS WALKING TOUR:​Secure your local guided tickets to step inside the traditional courtyards of the San Basilio neighborhood here.​👉 You need to copy and paste this link in your browser:https://www.getyourguide.com/cordoba-l1689/cordoba-patios-walking-tour-t52265/?partner_id=M5CWGCB&utm_medium=online_publisher&cmp=YouTube​(Disclosure: As a GetYourGuide affiliate, I earn a small commission from qualifying purchases at no extra cost to you!
