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.

Rabo de Toro - Oxtail

Oxtail was one of my favourite soups (out of a red tin) as a kid. I can´t imagine appreciating it now. I often look at the oxtails or bulls´ tails in the supermarkets here but haven´t succombed yet and the kids would have a fit!

Just perusing one of my many Spanish cookbooks Spain on a Plate by Mariá José Sevilla and her introduction to her Rabo de Toro recipe begins....

Every time I visit Cordoba, one of the most beautiful cities in Spain, I stop at the El Caballo Rojo restaurant situated in the city centre near La Mezquita. Here they serve El Rabo de Toro which is without a doubt one of the tastiest dishes which I recommend to all my friends....

Guess where I´m going on my next Cordoba visit? It is definately a lovely city but as there are so many Spanish cities I have yet to visit it´s hard to say whether it´s one of the most beautiful or not.

I now think that I may not bypass the oxtails when next seen but they may hit the trolley and be prepared a la Mariá - sorry guys.

Mariá wrote and presented the BBC television series Spain on a Plate her book is available from Amazon.
