Brief history and curiosities on the courtyards of Cordoba

The Patios (courtyards) of Cordoba are one of the landmarks of the city; they are especially attractive due to their popular character, history and culture.
There are many Patios in Cordoba. Some of them are well preserved and remain almost untouched, like small oasis of memory. Other ones have disappeared due to the difficulty for maintaining such an austere lifestyle, so far away from today´s comfortable standards. Finally, some Patios have welcomed the arrival of new tenants who have reformed the houses while retaining the traditional flavour of these areas.
All of them have something in common; they are a meeting place… a place that reaches its zenith in the month of May, when visitors crowd into the streets and the courtyards enjoying in their retinas the unforgettable pictures of this colourful celebration.
This article explains briefly history, structure and use of these unique and high valued Patios that remain largely untouched despite the years.
The first examples of courthouses date from 3200 BC with the creation of the first walled city – states in Mesopotamia. With the Greco – Roman culture, the courtyards became the most prominent feature of the house. In Greek times there is to be seen the first buildings with a courtyard surrounded by a columned portico, situated far from the entrance and used for recreational and social purposes. Nevertheless, the Roman houses will be the first ones that give courtyard a unique and principal role.
The arrival of Muslim belief in Spain brings singularity to the courtyards where water achieves an outstanding importance. Along the Reconquista period, the convergence between Christians and Muslims created the ´Mudejar` style, reproduced in some courtyards. With the irruption of the baroque style in the seventeenth century, façades are enhanced, doors are widened and the traditional structures of the courtyards modified. Finally in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries great changes take place. Neoclassicism is adopted for façades and interiors, new materials are used for floors and arches, and wooden doors are replaced by wrought iron bar gates.
General structure of a Courtyard in Cordoba:
1. Courtyards have usually a rectangular or a square form
2. At ground level, the courtyards has access to rooms as well as in the first floor
3. The floor of the Courtyards are made of river´s gravel
4. Very often there is a central staircase that leads to a picturesque balcony
5. Usually all doors and windows face the Courtyards
6. The Courtyards were the central part of the house; daily life took place in it
7. Residents decorated with the flower pots and ornamental trees the courtyards in order to make daily life nicer and more habitable; decoration brought colour and freshness to the hot climate of Cordoba
Examples of flora of the Courtyards of Cordoba
1. Jasmines, Queens of the Night (night blooming cestrum) and Bougainville
2. Coloured pots with different types of geraniums and pelargoniums cover great parts of the walls of the Courtyards
3. Aspidistras, Ferns, Violas, Dianthus, Scheffleras and Hydrangeas can also be seen often in flower beds
4. Cinnamon Laurel, lemon verbena, Cyclamen, Surfina Petunia, Fuchsias and other aromatic plants and flavour and colour
Nowadays the Association of Friends of the Patios of Cordoba play an important role in the maintenance and marketing of these Courtyards. A large number of Courtyards are open to the public all year around and is daily visited by a large number of people from different cultures and nationalities. In occasions, various cultural organizations have their seat and art exhibitions are held in some of the rooms of the Courtyards.
Cordoba`s Courtyards represent nowadays one of the most unique and special cultural characteristics of the region of Andalusia and received on December the 6th 2012 its distinctive title: ´The Courtyards of Cordoba Intangible heritage of humanity`.

Facts on cultural tourism of Andalusia

One of the major subsectors of tourism is based on the tourist’s motivation to visit and experience a different culture (gastronomy, monuments, folklore, museums).
In 2013 6,7 million tourists visited the region of Andalusia with cultural interests. 69,4% representing national tourism and 30,5% international tourists. Concentrating on the international tourists the following distribution is to be analysed as main countries suppling Andalusia with cultural tourists:

The average stay in hotels and resorts in Andalusia of international cultural tourists is 7,6 nights in comparison to the average international tourist is 3,8 nights. Also the average spending is higher (69,50 € - international cultural tourists) in comparison to the average tourists (58,50 €). Also remarkable is that international cultural tourists spend greater percentage of their budget on monuments and gastronomical offer than accommodation and transport.

According to the latest market research following factors are to be surveyed and improved by the different departments of local and regional governments to boost the satisfaction of cultural tourists:

Information & facilities on local markets
Recreational activities
Folklore
Culutral offices of monuments
Tour guiding offices for tours and excursions
General opening & closing hours

“Free Tours”: product of the liberalization of services and severe consequences for the cultural tourism market in Andalusia

During the past ten years the cultural tourism market in Andalusia has been going through a great transition. Especially since the liberalization policy of the European Union has succeeded and was brought into power in 2015.
Severe consequences are the result. A new type of tourism service and low cost policy has entered the market in the main cultural capitals such as Malaga, Granada, Seville & Cordoba, the so named “Free tour”. In often occasions the profile of the service provider has the following features:
1. Young and inexperienced
2. Rare knowledge of the legal framework of official tour guides
3. Ignorance or avoidance towards taxation & invoice legislation
For an average tourist it is difficult to appreciate the difference between an official tour guide or a cultural service provider as it is usually a one of consumed product. Which are though the remarkable and outstanding points that are indicating a possible new trend?
1. There is a clear lack of public administration intervention to clarify to cultural tourists the awareness of legal and official tour guides
2. The growing necessity of the internet presence to capture cultural tourists
3. Cultural tourists empathize with the “free tour” providers due to their lack of knowledge towards tour guides legal framework
The transition to a more stabilized market is subject to two factors:
1. The intervention of the regional government which has the legal competence to uphold a quality tourism destination
2. Probably the factor time is decisive; the market is going to segregate quality from low cost
