In the first week of May every year, this local festival invites locals and visitors to marvel at the most beautiful private courtyards of the city, which are opened for public viewing during the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The festival, which started in 1918 during the Spanish civil war, is a long-standing tradition of the city of Cordoba. During the event courtyards (<em>patios<\/em>) all over the city are covered with colorful blooming flowers and plants, and everyone gets the chance to visit them for free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gorgeously decorated, the patios can be discovered by 6 different routes, the Alc\u00e1zar Viejo being the most visited one. Highlights of this route include the Postrera, Duartas, and San Basilio patios.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cuddlynest.com\/l\/cordoba-ct53535353372\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Places To Stay in Cordoba<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Noche de San Juan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1030\" height=\"713\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cuddlynest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/best-festivals-in-spain-noche-de-san-juan-1030x713.jpg\" alt=\"San Juan Fireworks at Badajoz, Extremadura, Spain\" class=\"wp-image-21579\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cuddlynest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/best-festivals-in-spain-noche-de-san-juan-1030x713.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/www.cuddlynest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/best-festivals-in-spain-noche-de-san-juan-300x208.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cuddlynest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/best-festivals-in-spain-noche-de-san-juan-768x532.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cuddlynest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/best-festivals-in-spain-noche-de-san-juan.jpg 1360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Where:&nbsp;<\/strong>Nationwide<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When:<\/strong> June 23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Noche de San Juan is a fun-filled Spanish fiesta that welcomes summer in the warmest possible way welcome.
