A Spanish Garden Tour



The first thing we noticed about the city of Cordoba in Spain was the beauty of their small, quaint streets. Everyone had flowers in their window boxes. Geraniums dominated the boxes, but we also saw bougainvillea and others. They were gorgeous.



At the end of the day, we went to a patio tour . . . the Cordoban version of a garden tour. Certain homes would open their patios so that visitors could come in and see their gardens.



We only saw four of them, and our clear favorite was the first. It had a well in its center, and the plants were everywhere. The others were fun and inviting, and Don even found a gecko hiding on a wall in one of the gardens.



We didn't see many flowers that we would find in Wichita, but we certainly enjoyed looking at the ones in the patios.
