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 - Frailes, Jaen, Traditional Crafts & Wine

You never know what's around the corner! On a visit to the tiny town of Frailes in the Sierra Sur de Jaen about an hour from my holiday rental home Casa Rural El Reguelo and home to a great winery and cheese factory, one of the old village characters had his wares laid out for sale. Some exquisitely and intricately made esparto-grass items. Such skill, I hope he's passed it on.

He then proceded to take out some murky looking bottles, plastic cups and offered us some of his surprising and extremely drinkable home-made wine. I love where I live.
