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.

Jaén - Spain´s Major Olive Oil Producer

Jaén, my adopted home, produces around 20% of the world´s olive oil and 20% of Spain´s consumption. The 60 million or so olive trees provide the gastronomic delights, hard-working people and the varied scenery of the third largest province in Andalucia.



The most common variety of olive is picual from which an exquisite extra virgen olive oil is produced and that is the base for the best tapas in Spain!
