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.

Monday Morning Photo - Wild Spring Flowers

It's a holiday today. May Day in the UK  and Day of the Worker in Spain but here in rural, northern Andalucia I'm calling it Poppy Day as the hedgerows are bursting with poppies right now. Bright and cheerful reds under a deep blue sky and lush green background after a wet and dry April.

May sees the colour of the flowers changing to pinks and purples, it's my favourite time of year.
