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 - Cave Paintings in Malaga, Cueva de la Pileta

One weekend recently while staying at the lovely Hotel Los Castaños I asked resident owners Di & John 8now retired) where they would take family visiting for the first time and the incredible cave Pilate with paleolithic and neolithic cave paintings was one of the top choices - so we went.

What a place, such a shame that no photos are allowed to be taken inside, we spent an incredible hour marvelling at the ornate, sculpture-like stalagtite and stalagmite formations and paintings. Really worth a visit when staying in the area near Ronda or at Los Castaños.

Cueva de la Pileta


Hotel Los Castaños is in the small white village of Cartajima in the Serrania de Ronda mountains near the stunning town of Ronda in Malaga province.
