If you’re an Erasmus student in Córdoba, May is the month you can’t miss. The city turns into a nonstop celebration, full of flowers, music, gastronomy, and tradition. Here’s a guide to the main festivities this month:
📅 April 30 to May 4
Córdoba’s squares and streets fill with crosses decorated with flowers, shawls, and potted plants. Each cross becomes a mini party with music, tapas, and *rebujito*. It’s the perfect opportunity to connect with locals and enjoy the city’s most authentic vibe.
📅 May 4
This colorful parade marks the official start of the May Festivities. Flower-adorned floats parade down Paseo de la Victoria while participants throw carnations at the crowd, creating a joyful “battle” filled with music, laughter, and good vibes.
📅 May 5 to 18
During these days, locals open their patios to the public, showcasing spaces full of flowers, tradition, and color. It’s a unique chance to experience typical architecture and local hospitality. Many patios also offer live music and tastings of local products.
📅 May 24 to 31
The Fair of Our Lady of Health is the grand finale of the month. The fairgrounds are filled with *casetas* (marquees) where people dance *sevillanas*, enjoy local food, and soak up the festive atmosphere. It’s the perfect time to dress up in flamenco attire and dive into Andalusian culture.
Plan your visits: Some events happen on the same dates, so organize your calendar to avoid missing anything.
Dress for the occasion: Don’t hesitate to wear traditional outfits if you get the chance; locals appreciate it and you’ll feel more immersed.
Try the local food: From *salmorejo* to *flamenquines*, May is the perfect time to taste Córdoba’s traditional dishes.
Get involved: Dance, sing, and enjoy—living the Cordoban May is all about being part of it.
