Monday Morning Photo - Palacio de la Merced, Cordoba

Once one of the most important buildings in Córdoba, Palacio de la Merced was founded in XIII century as a  Mercedarian monastery. When the order was dissolved it became an orphanage then in the 1970s a Provincial Government seat. The Baroque portal is in the middle of the enormous frontage, the cloisters and monastery church remain and services are still held there today.

Monday Morning Photo - Guitar Player in the Albaicin, Granada

I love the Albaicin in Granada. This was just one of my fabulous 'moments'. The strain of guitar music floating around a corner and then - the picture.

No case for money, just practising. He wouldn't look my way either, so caught up in his moment. I passed him, stopped at the bottom and looked back and he was looking the opposite way again. Great playing too. I could have stayed all day. So quiet, so intimate.





The Albaicin is the old Moorish part of Granada, winding cobbled streets. Go up to the Mirador de San Nicolas and wander back down these streets. Its history, emotion and mystery will move you.
