IN PICS: Blooming gorgeous patios of Cordoba
Each May, the residents of Cordoba compete for the prize of who has the most lush courtyard, decorating their patios with bright flowers, leafy green plants, fountains and more.
Dozens of usually private patios are thrown open to the public in a riot of gorgeous colour and celebration of spring.
The tradition dates back to 1921 with the town hall organizing a competition, along with music, dancing and wine.
