Day Two Friday 16th May Travelling from Michelle's photographic studio in Estepona, overland to Cordoba, to the Cordoba Patio Festival, where private homes open the doors to their traditional patios covered in flowers and vines often with Andalusian ceramics and mosaics in the backdrop. This unique opportunity allows photographers to capture a tradition that dates back to 1918, in which local residents compete annually with a wide array of colour and designs within the most quintessentially Cordoba context. In the evening many patios offer traditional tapas and refreshments among their jasmine filled patios with the occasional live guitarist, playing under the evening skies of this historic town. Overnight in Cordoba. Day Three Saturday 17th May We will spend the morning visiting and photographing more unique patios, both the most traditionally Andalucian and other totally modern examples.
