Open Patios In Cordoba, Spain

How wonderful, feels so summery, and I bet the perfume was great too. Fantastic photos.

Thank you Cinderella. Yes, the scent was lovely, and one could feel the humidity in some of the patios......

Oh if only we had the climate here in blighty. Love the pictures thanks for sharing them.

Oh my, what a marvellous sight, everything looks immaculate clean and fresh, it must take hours to water all those pots lol
Loved them Louis....

I was just going to say that Dottydaisy! I wouldn't like to be the one watering them, gosh! the amount of time it would take...and have you seen the height some of the pots are off the ground?! But it's absolutely gorgeous Louis, something you'll never forget...

I've enjoyed viewing these gardens so much....just the tonic I needed. Everything is so vibrant, beautiful and lush. How they keep all those plants watered in the heat of Spain is a mystery to me! The people really make use of every spare inch of space...such lovely colour and having pots hanging on walls really seems to work for them.

Thanks, Louis for your beautiful photos...absolutely stunning.

wow loved the cheeseplant,wish mine was like that,stunning pics

FABULOUS!!

Absolutely beautiful! We'll be visiting Cordoba and surrounding area soon, so I look forward to seeing such wonderful courtyards. Thank you for sharing.

Thank-you for those fabulous shots.

How wonderful, thanks for posting the pictures :-)
I just love how they use every available bit of space.
I don't want to imagine watering all them, especially in the spanish summer. Have enough work watering mine here!

A lovely blog Louis all the pictures are beautiful, made me feel like going on holiday

Wow, what a fantastic place! Thank you for sharing with us.

gorgeous :o))

Thank you very much Kfunsters, DD2, Libet, Whistonlass, Ladybug47, Coshad, Nariz, Drc726, Columbine, Annella, Xela and Helen60gard.
The way they water all those pots on the walls is simply nailing a tin can to a long piece of wood, and that's it...LOL!!!
Nariz, unfortunately the open patios are only opened for a few days only. I think they closed on the 15th May, but you might be able to see some of them from outside, if their doors or gates are opened, but you cannot go inside anymore.
Anella, pack your gear and go for a lovely sunny, colourful holiday LOL!!!
So ladies, if you would like a lovely holiday, I really recommend this place ........ and thank you once again, for your lovely comments :-)

I think I might be happy with just a space like your lovely pictures, and with lots of colourful pots. They are very good at this way of decoration in Spain.

Thank you Dorjac.........

Thanks for sharing these beautiful pictures must have been great seeing them for real ! really breath taking thanks again

You are welcome Whdebor and thank you........

Many thanks for sharing those beautiful pics.....very inspiring.

Thank you Sixpence 48, and you are most welcome...........

Louis have you decided to open your garden this year?

Hi Louis,I have a lot of pots on my patio. Hardly anything hung up. it is such an effort watering them, especially if it gets warmer.....when it does! I wonder how on earth they manage to get round all those pots hung in all sorts of exotic arrangements? I like rearing plants in pots outside or semi covered. This year i'm dotting them round the boring bits of the garden as well as the patio.

Hi Dorjac, the way to water their patios or courtyards is by using a long pole with a tin can nailed to it, an also by spraying them with a hose, and then the humidity takes over. ? I have loads of pots and I and it takes make quite sometime to water them all. To be honest, it's not much of an issue, as I'm on my own little world whilst watering all the pots..:-)

Hi Annella, I am 90% sure, that we are opening our garden again this year. I will know 100% next Wednesday, as there's loads to sort out and the registration. Thank you for asking. Are you thinking of visiting our garden??......... we don't bite honestly LOL!!!

That's my plan Louis! Let me know the dates if you are. There is another Goyer on here from Ringstead, she may be interested too

Ok Annella, as soon as I have a date, I will let you know. Thank you.....:-)

OMG! I bet you were in your glory Louis, I know I would have been, they are beautiful photos. They look after them so well considering the heat they get. Thanks for sharing them with us all....... :>)

Thank you Linsuffolk. Yes, I was in my glory and had a great time visiting so many patios ... :-)

Thanks for these glorious pics Louis. Sorry so late, but takes ages to catch up with everything here. I've always fancied visiting these...maybe next year....sigh:-)

Thank you Bornagain, no need to be sorry. I am the same, as I sometimes take ages to catch up on GOY as well being busy on other things. If you can go do so, as it's a new experience ........... :-)

Hi Louis, I think Madabout plants will be joining us for your open garden weekend. We are going to check out the weather before we decide on which day but we are looking forward to it....see you soon.

I am so jealous Annella:-( Will you do a blog?:-)

Yes I hope too Ba

Hi Annella, that will be great, looking forward to seeing some of the GOY members visiting my garden ..... By the way Bornagain, if you are ever passing by my area, you are more than welcome to visit my garden as well :-)

I should love to Louis, especially as it was the main inspiration for my own! Unfortunately, I'm not in a position to 'pass by' anywhere...no car:-)

That's a shame, but my offer is always there :-)

fabulous!! i loved andalucia ~ only been there once but it was beautiful.

Yes indeed Stickitoffee, it's worth going to these open patios if you get a chance :-)

are they open on certain dates? i remember peering through gateways at the lovely courtyards but none were open.

Yes, they are only open the first or the second week in May, and also bare in mind, that they close for lunch.

well worth knowing ~ thank you.
