Monday Morning Photo - Mercado Victoria Gastromarket in Cordoba

Monday Morning Photo - Medieval Marvão, Alto Alentejo, Portugal

This fabulous little walled town is one of the most beautiful hilltop towns in Portugal. Saramago said ¨From Marvão you can see the whole earth.¨ It´s certainly true you can see a long way, in all directions and of course to Spain as it´s very close to the Spanish border and city of Cáceres. Roman remains and narrow cobbled streets are overlooked by a medieval castle and its walls. To get into the town itself you can drive through the ancient entrances.

Andalucia's first gastromarket, the Mercado Victoria in Cordoba is a great place to eat. Just a short walk from the Juderia and Mezquita, it's set in a 19th century wrought-iron structure first built for the city's fairs and exhibitions. The 30 odd stalls really do offer something for everyone, buy your drink and select your food from whichever takes your fancy. Some ready to eat, other delicacies ready to cook but whatever you can think of is most likely on offer.
