Hi there from Australia! Loved your video thank you. I’m super excited to explore Cordoba for myself later this year too. I’m staying 5 nights so can’t wait to wander everywhere! Just wondering, was your time in the Alcazar gardens limited, or could you stay as long as you wanted? Happy travels! Cheers, Marg
Hi Marg. no, there was no time limit in the Alcazar gardens, you are free to explore as long as you want. Hope you have a great trip - the Andalusia region has some amazing sites.
Hi Rob. Thanks for the informative video. Which would you recommend if we won’t have time for both- Patios de San Basilio or Palacio de Viana? Thank you!
Hi @leonardfleet50 - not in the privately-owned patios (but you’d only spend 5 minutes in each one of those). But yes, there is seating in the Palacio de Viana where the collection of 12 patios are. Actually, one of the good things about Cordoba is that it is very compact, so you don’t have to walk far between the different sites. Thanks for watching!
That’s a very fair observation. I know it should be Cordo-ba but in the excitement of the moment, my brain sometimes reverts to what I’ve always called it: Cor-doba. You should hear me in the voiceover recording chimping things up 😀
Informative video
Thanks, Peter. Glad you found it useful.

Great videos and fantastic content. Thank you so much.
Glad you like them!
Great video! and just in time as we're leaving to Spain/Portugal next week. Your videos have been a great resource. Thank you!
You’re welcome. Have a fantastic time in Spain and Portugal!

I would probably recommend Palacio de Viana because it is a more organized visit, so you can plan ahead.
Were there places to sit down in all those patios and gardens? It looked like never-ending walking! (like Venice!)

Nice video, what time of year was this?
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. This was filmed in March 2024.
Do you have any further info about where to buy the Patios de San Basilio ticket? Thanks!
Tickets are sold at the first house on the route, at Calle Martin de Roa 2.
How have you managed to pronounce Córdoba correctly half the time and wrong the other half?
That’s a very fair observation. I know it should be Cordo-ba but in the excitement of the moment, my brain sometimes reverts to what I’ve always called it: Cor-doba. You should hear me in the voiceover recording chimping things up 😀
The accent is on the first syllable, so it is pronounced COR-doba. It’s frequently mispronounced as CorDOEba or CorDOEbah.
