Decorated with stonework medallions between each arch, including depictions of  Carlos I, Alfonso XI, Fernando VI, Cervantes and Santa Teresa. The buildings are three storeys, supported by semicircular arches topped by a balustrade.  Plaza Mayor, Salamanca See my One Day in Salamanca - What Not to Miss post on Luxury Spain Travel.

Decorating the Streets with Flowers for Corpus Cristi

A year or two ago, at the end of May we, quite by chance, came across these amazing scenes. Flowery carpets being prepared for the processions to walk on in the little Cordoba town of Bujalance.


Flower Carpets for Corpus Cristi



Bujalance is a small town packed with monuments which we discovered on the way back from a getaway in Montoro and staying in the fabulous converted olive oil mill Hotel Molino la Nava, both of which we'd return to.
