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. Palacio de la Merced See the Monday Morning Photo list. Where to Stay in Córdoba city?

Monday Morning Photo - Via Verde de Aceite Bridge

Monday morning photo - Bridge on the Via Verde de Aceite at Estacion de Luque, just over the border from Jaén into Cordoba province. The Via Verdes are the old steam train routes, now for walkers and cyclists. A network of routes can be found across Spain.

Where to stay to walk on the Via Verde? Hacienda Hotel Minerva, which has a live Flamenco guitarist most Friday evenings is right on the Via Verde. (This is a Booking.com link, which may earn me a bit of commission to keep on exloring.)
