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 - Empty Road and Snow Capped Sierra Nevada Behind Tree Plantation, Granada

When heading to Granada airport from the north we always go through plantations of poplar trees. This is the area known as 'La Vega' flat and fertile.

Rather pleased with this shot that hubby took, to order, as I was driving. Who gets the credit?


Sierra Nevada, Granada Background, Silver Birch Plantation, La Vega


Taken on 26th January with the Sierra Nevada snow-covered backdrop for lots of great skiing this year. We had a little explore after visiting the newly opened La Casa Grande de Zujaira a sensitively restored 200 year-old house for small private functions as well as a Boutique B&B.

This is the road from Valderubio to Fuente Vaqueros home to the museum of Frederico Garcia Lorca, which sadly we weren't able to visit - next time!
