Carnival

February 14th—21st
Carnival is held just before Lent, in the second fortnight of February.

Groups of singers called chirigotas and groups dressed up in similar costumes called comparsas parade round the streets of Cordoba.

Holy Week (Semana Santa)

March 28th—April 4th
The city streets fill with processions, with clouds of incense wafting up into the air in the dim light of the candles carried by the Nazarenos (those who take part in the processions).

There is a solemn, religious atmosphere which is an ideal backdrop for reflection in the company of others.

The May Crosses

April 29th—May 2nd
At the beginning of May, the tradition of the May Crosses follows a street parade called "the Battle of the Flowers" in which floats decorated with flowers are driven though the city to welcome the coming of spring.

Traditional Sevillana music is played and dance shows are performed by night.

The Fair

May 21st—29th
The uplifting sound of sevillanas, the fino wine, the tapas, the Cordoban hat and the peinetas (ornamental combs worn by the women) make the Cordoba Fair as amazing an experience as any of the other Andalusian fairs.

The white night of flamenco

June 19
Few other cities in the world host a more original event than the White Night of Flamenco, which takes place in Cordoba for one whole night in June.

It is a night where streets, squares, taverns and street corners ring to the sound of chords, footsteps and voices.

Cordoba Guitar Festival

July 6th—25
One of the most famous guitar festivals takes place every summer in Cordoba, with this year's program - the 30th edition of the festival - including Mark Knopfler!

There is also a training programme for those who love the instrument, with courses on guitar building classical, Flamenco, contemporary and modern guitar; composition courses for guitar; and Flamenco dancing and singing courses.

More information on the guitar festival website.

Moonlight Cinema

July and August
Open-air cinema has been part of summer in many Spanish towns since the early days of film. They have become popular again, with excellent projection and sound quality on large screens, and a programme including seasonal releases and all time classics.

The venues (in the Old City) include Coliseo, San Andrés, Fuenseca, Delicias and the bullring, performances at 10pm and 12 midnight.

Bring your own bocadillo along - it's part of the fun!
