Monday Morning Photo - Plaza Mayor, Salamanca

One of the most beautiful squares in Spain the Plaza Mayor, a baroque style plaza, on the north side is the City Hall building. Decorated with stonework medallions between each arch, including depictions of  Carlos I, Alfonso XI, Fernando VI, Cervantes and Santa Teresa. The buildings are three storeys, supported by semicircular arches topped by a balustrade.  Plaza Mayor, Salamanca See my One Day in Salamanca - What Not to Miss post on Luxury Spain Travel.

Monday Morning Photo - Castillo de Santa Catalina - Jaén Castle

Jaén castle sits on top of the hill of the same name - Santa Catalina, which is also the location of the Parador and large monumental white cross. Pop into the parador for a drink, stroll along the walkway for views over the city and mountains beyond and go into the castle, betweeen the two, for more stunning views.
