The patios of San Basilio are what the May Patio Festival is really about — private courtyards on Calle San Basilio that have won the city competition repeatedly, planted with geraniums and jasmine up the whitewashed walls, open to visitors during festival week in May but visible from the street year-round through iron grilles. This is Córdoba as Córdobans actually live in it: a residential neighbourhood with a local butcher, a neighbourhood bar, and no tourist menus. The Alcázar de los Reyes Cristianos is 2 minutes from the patios; the Roman Bridge is 3 minutes; the Mezquita is 10 minutes through the Judería. Hostal Alcázar on Calle San Basilio is the neighbourhood's dedicated option — one minute from the patios, private bathrooms, air conditioning, family-run, from €32. For more services, the Judería boutiques are a short walk: Las Casas de la Judería, Patio del Posadero, and Hacienda Posada de Vallina are all under 10 minutes.
