Monday Morning Photo - Grape Vines in Cordoba

Having recently discovered yet another local winery to visit I couldn't resist, while passing the town, having a brief nose around. The bodega I knew wouldn't be open but the town Doña Mencia just over the Jaen border into Cordoba province is one I pass every time I head down to Malaga but had never visited. I will be going again, it´s charming and has more than one winery!

Some already harvested vines with the leaves beginning to change colour. This year with heatwave after heatwave the grapes ripened much earlier. Very much looking forward to visiting the winery and sampling some of their award-winning finos, this is the DO Montilla-Moriles area.

Introducing Girona and the Costa Brava

The Costa Brava was one of many firsts for me. My first ever holiday abroad, my first plane flight, the first foreign food ( I didn't think much of it then!) and the first time I ever came back from holiday with five new pairs of shoes. I must have been about twelve and I'd caught up with my mum in shoe size, the only reason I got so many pairs. I was never really sure who they belonged to. Even so they weren't mine for long, I soon overtook her height-wise and in shoe size.

And the point? Really the only thing I remember about that holiday is the name Costa Brava, the shoes, the incredible oven-opening-blast of heat when stepping out of the plane and a boat trip. I have decided that since I've now lived in Spain in excess of twenty years (don't try and work out how old I am) it's time I learnt more about my first footsteps in Spain and plan a trip there too.

Girona, historical city and province, is bordered by the Pyrane…
