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.

Monday Morning Photo - Castillo de Burgalimar or Bury al Hammam in Baños de la Encina, Jaén

Baños de la Encina has long been a favourite of mine, a charming little town filled with  an amazingly intact tenth century castle, sandstone mansions and more surprises for family and friends. Over the years it has ´matured´ into itself, becoming accepted into the association of Spain´s Most Beautiful Towns and learning how to promote its splendour. The addition of great place to eat means its become a place to linger.
