About
Córdoba kicks off its flower-filled \"Mayo Cordobés\" with the Cruces de Mayo: squares and courtyards across the city are decorated with huge crosses made of red carnations, surrounded by bars, sevillanas dancing and fino sherry.
Highlights
- Giant crosses of red carnations decorate squares and patios across the city.
- Each cross has its own bar, tapas, music and sevillanas dancing.
- Opens Córdoba's famous "Mayo Cordobés" run of spring festivities.
- A vivid, free street party precursor to the UNESCO-listed Patios festival.
Practical tips
- Córdoba is ~45 minutes from Seville by AVE — very doable as a day trip.
- Follow the marked cross route; competition for best-decorated cross is fierce.
- Go in the evening when the crosses, music and crowds come alive.
