Monday Morning Photo - Plaza Mayor, Trujillo
The rectangular Plaza Mayor in Trujillo with its wealth of Renaissance buildings. My favourite city out of the fab 3 - Cáceres, Merida and Trujillo in Extremadura visited recently.
Monday Morning Photo - The Mirador de San Nicolas, Granada
There's one place along with the Alhambra that you have to visit in Granada - The Mirador de San Nicolas which has plenty of charm and huge views.
This photo was taken about 10.15 am if it had been 10.15 at night it would be heaving yet somehow when the daylight fades and the illumination in the Alhambra twinkles it converts from a beautiful view to a magical, mysterious fairytale setting.
Don't think for a minute that this is Granada, it's an incredible, haunting city, one that draws me back again and again. Yes, the Alhambra needs visiting, so does San Nicolas, but take time, take it slow and lose yourself in the streets, the history and its people. Granada cannot be done in a day.
