The first week of the Córdoba Patios Festival in 2026 has concluded with an 8% decrease in visitor numbers, a situation that the Córdoba City Council attributes mainly to unstable weather and rainfall.

The event recorded a total of 458,186 visits, a figure lower than the 500,171 registered during the same period last year. This decline represents a drop of almost 8.4%, with the first weekend, traditionally the busiest, being the most affected by the adverse weather.
The impact of the climatic conditions was evident in the Saturday and Sunday figures. While in 2025 the weekend accumulated 279,211 visits, this year the number fell to 213,116. Despite this setback, the week began with a progressive increase in public attendance, with 57,274 visits on Monday, gradually rising until Friday, when 70,898 visits were reached.
Saturday recorded the peak of 77,922 visits, even though rain was already beginning to affect the routes. Sunday closed with 64,296 visits. The Alcázar Viejo neighborhood once again established itself as the festival's epicenter, attracting 15,448 visitors. It was followed by the areas of San Pedro, with 12,126 visits, and Judería-San Francisco, which accumulated 11,216.
Other prominent neighborhoods included San Lorenzo, with 11,035 visits, and Santa Marina, which closed the count of competing areas with 7,547. The most visited patios on Sunday included Marroquíes, 6; Agustín Moreno; San Basilio, 44; Ángel de Saavedra, 7; and Siete Revueltas, 1 in San Pedro, which accounted for 1,504 entries. Even non-competing spaces generated interest, with 6,924 total visits, notably the Patio de la Cancela del Palacio de Viana, the Casa Árabe, and the Palacio de Orive.
With one week of the competition still ahead, the organizers hope that improved weather conditions will allow for a recovery in attendance and bring figures closer to historical data from previous editions.
