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 - Wetlands in Castilla-La Mancha

I guess it's obvious  that Castilla-La Mancha has so many wetland areas, but being so flat. I'd never given it a thought. We were planning on visiting the famous Tablas de Daimiel National Park  but we also went to the four lagoons near our hotel - Lagunas de Alcazar de San Juan. My first real bird watching session from a hide revealed lots of flamingos and many other (unknown to me) water birds.
