Monday Morning Photo - Roman Bridge and Mezquita, Córdoba

The iconic Roman Bridge with the Mezquita to the right and Alcazaba to the left behind it. I can´t think of a better approach to the city than parking by the bridge (always found spots for free and often left  the car for a night or two) and walking across it to the walls of the Mezquita. We´ve just spent another night in the city, exploring the narrow, labyrinth of streets, tiny plazas and just inhaling the city vibes and bustle - is it obvious we´re countryside dwellers?

Gardens, Hotels and Self Catering in Las Alpujarras

Adding to my trip list I´m planning on popping in for coffee at Hotel Los Berchules in Las Alpujarras and the gardens of Cortijo Opazo if they´ll have me.

I´m particularly looking forward to the gardens as I have just received a copy of the Handbook of Canary Folk Medicine - The Secrets of our Old Herbalists by José Jaén and it is fascinating - but I don´t know lots of the plants and flowers they are talking about so maybe I can get some advice from those in the know.



Containing everything from baldness cures (yes he needs that) to curing alcohlics and drug users it makes great reading and I shall be putting bit of it into practice. Maybe not the rubbing stinging nettles on bald pates though - wouldn´t be allowed!
