Through the year

  1. Carnaval

    February – March

    A typical Andalusian carnival (not as huge as Cadiz's festival, but a great time nevertheless). The city centre is full of people in costumes during the weekend, funny songs are sang throughout city squares

  2. Semana Santa

    March – April

    (Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday, late March–early April) — 38 brotherhoods process through the UNESCO historic centre over 8 days, each route converging on the Mezquita-Cathedral.

  3. Cata del Vino Montilla-Moriles

    April

    Cordovan wine-tasting fair. Very good wine selection, tapas and music in a huge tent in the city centre. (Late April)

  4. Feria de Córdoba

    May – June

    Last week in May, a huge fair of drinking, dancing, eating, and not working. Flamenco and salsa music. A great time! (Late May - early June)

  5. Festival de Patios

    May

    About 2 weeks during May.
