Monday Morning Photo - Finca de la Pansa

Finca de la Pansa B&B, once a farm house where grapes were dried to make the local Moscatel wine. The local farmsteads had this type of traditional frontage with arches so that the grapes - laid out on large cane mats could be dragged under cover quickly if it rained - yet still be out in the air to ´cure.´ See the video of Finca de la Pansa B&B on YouTube.

Are these Spain's Narrowest Streets?

When exploring towns large and small around Spain there's often been very narrow streets and I often wonder - why so narrow? To keep out the heat? Lack of space within enclosed, protective walls?

Seville has an incredible maze of narrow, some barely passable by two people. Here's a couple I came across in smaller Andalucian towns. The first one is the quirky 'White Village' of Setenil de las Bodegas just over the Malaga border into Cadiz. A fabulous small town with houses built into and on the overhanging rock.


The second another lovely town, Priego de Cordoba just over the border from my home province Jaen into Cordoba. Another town with a long history, lovely monuments and a balcony that I think is far better than that of Ronda.
