Monday Morning Photo - Arco de Villarla in Renaissance Baeza

Renaissance Baeza, a unesco city twinned with Úbeda, 7km away, was a recent visit and first overnight stay. It dates back from the Visigoths but what we see today is an abundance of fabulous sandstone monuments built from the riches gained from agriculture in the 16th century, like the former Civil Court and Notary, now a tourist office. Arco de Villarlar and Tourist Office, Baeza See the Monday Morning Photo List.

Monday Morning Photo - Grape Vines in Cordoba

Having recently discovered yet another local winery to visit I couldn't resist, while passing the town, having a brief nose around. The bodega I knew wouldn't be open but the town Doña Mencia just over the Jaen border into Cordoba province is one I pass every time I head down to Malaga but had never visited. I will be going again, it´s charming and has more than one winery!

Some already harvested vines with the leaves beginning to change colour. This year with heatwave after heatwave the grapes ripened much earlier. Very much looking forward to visiting the winery and sampling some of their award-winning finos, this is the DO Montilla-Moriles area.
