Córdoba's Patio Festival: A Blooming Celebration

At El Patio, we believe patios are utterly enchanting! More than just charming courtyards, they are the heart of a Spanish home—a serene, open-air space that fosters connection, conversation, and a sense of community. In traditional Spanish culture, a patio is an enclosed, open-to-the-sky courtyard within a building, serving as a communal gathering place that brings people together.

And nowhere are they more celebrated than in Córdoba, Spain. Every May these patios burst into bloom with the Fiesta de los Patios—a UNESCO-listed celebration of flowers, culture, and community spirit.

I Teach Spanish ... Daniela!

Meet Daniela, one of El Patio's incredible teachers from Colombia! With a love of language, writing, reading and even grammar (very importantly) Daniela's classes reflect her love of teaching, sharing cultures and the power of learning a language in bringing people from all walks of life together. Daniela understands the importance of communication and practice when learning a language and she implements this in her classes with her fun, interesting and dynamic teaching style. As a student of languages herself, she has lots of useful study tips to help you along the way and even videos that she makes!
Daniela's love of teaching began at an early age. Now that love has brought her all the way across the world to El Patio and we are so happy and lucky to have her!
