Monday Morning Photo - Plaza Mayor, Salamanca

One of the most beautiful squares in Spain the Plaza Mayor, a baroque style plaza, on the north side is the City Hall building. Decorated with stonework medallions between each arch, including depictions of  Carlos I, Alfonso XI, Fernando VI, Cervantes and Santa Teresa. The buildings are three storeys, supported by semicircular arches topped by a balustrade.  Plaza Mayor, Salamanca See my One Day in Salamanca - What Not to Miss post on Luxury Spain Travel.

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.
