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 - 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.
