Corralones Week is coming to Malaga, but what are the corralones? Many of you who follow the blog will not know them, even though I had some idea of what does it mean I had to read some articles before; it is not a common word. Be my guest to read about the history of two of the oldest neighbourhoods in Malaga and learn more about the so-called corralones, traditional courtyards or patios in Malaga.<\/p>\n

History of the traditional Andalusian patio<\/h2>\n

I thought it would be interesting to tell you about the history of the Andalusian patio. These patios, centric, used to be the meeting place of the neighbours throughout the day; decorated with plants and a fountain or central well, are a extension of the houses.<\/p>\n

What is the origin of the Andalusian patio? In the following picture I think it can all be resumed, I bet that many don’t need to keep reading after having seen it.<\/p>\n

\"Typical<\/p>\n

Still wondering what’s so special about this image? You can see a clear similarity with the Arab and Roman architecture.<\/p>\n

In ancient times, plant decoration had a religious motif. Each plant was placed on the patio as an offering to the gods or to commemorate a deceased person.<\/p>\n

Today, the patio decoration is a source of pride. There are still many old buildings throughout Andalusia that still have this type of layout.<\/p>\n

If you like them you can visit the festival of the patios in Cordoba<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Purpose and fuction of a patio<\/h3>\n

The corralones are nothing more than a group of houses oriented towards a central open courtyard (patio in Spanish) that is located inside a rectangular building. In the centre of the patio there used to be a community well from which to draw water. Families shared activities during the day and night in that place.<\/p>\n

\u00bfSo what is the purpose of a patio? <\/strong>A patio is a meeting and shared place for the neighbours of the building. During the years of washing by hand sometimes the laundry was also in an area of the patio.<\/p>\n

Corralones and patios are very typical constructions that you can find in Andalusia. Most of those traditional ‘corralones’ are from the mid-19th century; built as cheap housing for the working class. Inside you can still breathe an old air that transports us back in time, a not so distant past where families raised their children in community and shared their life daily with their neighbours.<\/p>\n

La Trinidad and El Perchel: Historical neighbourhoods in Malaga<\/h3>\n

In Malaga, the neighbourhoods of La Trinidad and El Perchel are in the historic centre of the capital, however tourists do not usually wander around those areas. The Guadalmedina riverbed acts as a dividing line, a border between the neighbourhoods and the centre; during the Corralones Week these districts resurface with force, claiming greater prominence in the city.<\/p>\n

\"Traditional<\/p>\n

Discover the old and traditional homes for working class families in Malaga during the 19th century. It is a good opportunity to immerse yourself in the history of Malaga and experience first-hand how the old neighbourhood homes used to be.<\/p>\n

La Trinidad<\/h4>\n

This historic neighbourhood of Malaga is bordered to the south by El Perchel; you will find traditional architecture and patios as well.<\/p>\n

This neighbourhood has marked the history of Malaga during the 19th century. Its origin dates back to the construction of a convent and a church in 1488, just over a royal camp used during the siege of Malaga.<\/p>\n

\"La<\/p>\n

El Perchel<\/h4>\n

El Perchel is bordered to the north by La Trinidad, a district that since many centuries ago was relegated to the fishing industry and the periphery of the city to avoid the bad smells of fish; tradition that continued to exist throughout the different historical periods.<\/p>\n

\"El<\/p>\n

Perchel was already a known neighbourhood since the fifteenth century. They translated this neighbourhood as ‘Fish Market’ in the famous book of Cervantes ‘El Quijote’.<\/p>\n

In this neighbourhood of Malaga you will find ‘El corralon de Santa Sofia’ and other traditional houses of neighbours that are still standing and you can visit.<\/p>\n

Festival of the corralones houses in Malaga<\/h3>\n

During this week the neighbours invite us to a big party in their courtyards ‘patios’; all perfectly decorated for winning the prize. Winners will receive money that they must use to improve the patio for the next contest. This is a way of keeping these typical buildings in good conditions and to turn them into a tourist attraction.<\/p>\n

\"Corralon<\/p>\n

Previous winners used the prize for installing a central fountain, others dedicated it to improving the fa\u00e7ade. There is no lack of typical geraniums adorning the corners and walls of these areas.<\/p>\n

Some days they may offer typical tapas and a glass of wine. Each visit is a surprise, both for the decoration and for the possibility of tasting some local delights; snails in almond sauce and Malaga salad, others a good potato omelette…all made by the neighbours themselves.<\/p>\n

Nothing is to envy the Cordoba patio festival<\/a>, I recommend you to visit this event.<\/p>\n

Event calendar and activities<\/h4>\n

The event starts on Saturday 15 December at 11 am in the Santa Sofia corralon in Calle Montes de Oca, 6<\/a>. (Perchel North). There will also be a Flamenco<\/a> performance on Sunday 16 December at 8 pm.<\/p>\n

A sample of typical gastronomy will be offered by the residents’ association from 18 to 21 December at 5.30 pm with traditional dishes and preparation of sweets.<\/p>\n

On the 15th at midday there will be a special day dedicated to children and families at Plaza de San Pablo at midday and the 18th at 7 pm at Santa Sofia.<\/p>\n

The closing gala will be on 20 December from 7 pm to 10 pm with a projection of the photographs of the participating patios and different performances.<\/p>\n
