Hi friends,
I'm here in Córdoba. We arrived late Minday afternoon, explored the Mezquita from 5-6:30--- it was practically empty, and you're able to great pictures without the crowds.
We did the hop on hop off bus, saw a lot!!!
Walked the old roman bridge for paseo (around 8pm), then had a great dinner at "----- Olivio" (can't remember first word), one avenue in from bridge.
Thinking about renting our car, and heading to Ronda; I kinda felt like I was missing out on something in Córdoba, woke up early this morning (4:30-jet lag!!!), and started googling. Stumbled across this great website:

I had no idea there was this huge Flower Festival going on here right now!
Apparently, in May, the locals decorate their interior courtyard patios of their homes for a huge contest, and visitors are welcome to come in and view. It's an old Moorish custom, still practiced, very authentic, and now sponsored by tourism dep't
I'm getting ready to head out for the day and check it out, But I feel like I found a hidden gem, & wanted to quickly share for any of you here now, planning your trip, and those of you who help others with their planning.
Happy Travels
