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.

Lanjaron, Las Alpujarras - La Casa del Viento


Casa Viento

On a horse riding reccy trip to Lanjaron we stayed at the lovely La Casa del Viento (house of the wind) for the night. Being high above Lanjaron we had some great views and a welcome breeze.


La Casa del Viento consists of various size and shaped rustic apartments all of which are delightfully furnished and cared for by the live-in owner Anne. Anne is there to welcome guests and provides dinner and Sunday lunches around the pool.


Almost on the GR7 walking route, Lanjaron is a great base for walking, horse riding and exploring Las Alpujarras.



With a unique history and special location, on the southern slopes of the Sierra Nevada mountain range, Las Alpujarras offer dramatic scenery, diverse wildlife and a step-back-in-time relaxed pace of life.
