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.

Where to Stay in Spain - Eco-friendly Casa Valle de Oro B&B
For peace and quiet, wonderful views and pure relaxation, with option to go exploring in Andalucia´s stunning interior, there are few better bases than Casa Valle de Oro.
Located in the north of Malaga province near the town of Villanueva de Algaidas and very close to the border with Cordoba and its lovely lake town Iznajar and easy access to Granada and Cordoba cities.
Casa Valle de Oro, which in Spanish means Valley of Gold or Golden Valley nestles in a shallow vale of olive trees from which is produced liquid gold or extra virgen olive oil, Casa Valle de Oro´s oil, as the ethos of the house, is ecological.
From the terrace, which overlooks the swimming pool and down the valley, there are golden sunsets, two very different reasons for one good name for the lovely Casa Valle de Oro B&B.
There are also two yurts, Marrakesh and Oriental, between the olive trees which provide lovely, dappled shade in the summer, with a path to their own shower room and a trickling stream to add to the peaceful, birdsong background. A place to just be.
On our visit in spring there were masses of colourful wild flowers everywhere between the ancient olive grove. There´s a charming apartment for 2/3 or 2+2 available, as is the chance of one camper van or motorhome to park in the olive grove. A great getaway.
Our B&B room was lovely and very comfortable Cuarto Jaipur (top image) an Oriental inspired double room with huge en suite, the other room Cuarto Djenné is adorned with African decor, influenced by the owners´ travels.
Dinner is served 3 nights a week, vegan and vegetarians are well catered for, both dinner and breakfast provide healthy, local and homemade fare. Want to be well-fed, well taken care of and well-rested? Casa Valle de Oro is the escape for you.
