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.

About

Hi, thank you for checking me out. I'm  Rachel Webb, travel writer, Spanish boutique hotel lover, pre-published picture book writer, contributor to Lonely Planet´s new Andalucia Guide and blogger.

On the Caminito del Rey



I moved from the UK to Jaén, Andalucia in 1996 with my husband and two sons, now, three sons and one granddaughter later, my adopted home still enthrals me.

I never tire of the endless scenery, the sea of olive groves, the multi-coloured sunsets, chattering birds, white towns scattered through mountains and valleys and of course the friendly people. This is a home I can´t imagine leaving. Exploring yes, late gap-year world travel yes, but to find more peace, more space, less stress than rural Andalucia, no.

Between home, working as an estate agent, writing and gardening, exploring often takes the back seat, especially in the summer heat. My home is in the Sierra Sur de Jaén, the most northerly of the eight provinces in the region of Andalucía. My hope with this blog is to share many moments of living in and exploring Spain with you.

I´m as happy in a motorhome as in 5* star accommodation, I love to drive but am happy to be driven, I love to explore by myself or with others, whatever, however, I just love mooching around this incredible country of Spain - and beyond.

Paid posts and fam trips are sometimes accepted (and stated as such) and I love to do reviews. My Luxury Spain Travel blog also gets the benefit of my explorations and writings. My Press Kit is over on Luxury Spain. Or you can read my latest article on this blog's Other Writings page.
