Aberdeen Photographer – 366 Photography Challenge – Week Forty-Four
This week’s journey continues through Spain, visiting charming towns and capturing unique scenes in Saleres, Córdoba, and more, with a focus on light and texture in each shot. From nosy cats and ancient ruins to the striking architecture of Córdoba, each photograph represents the essence of these places.
Day 293: The Nosy Cat
In the area around Saleres, we explored beautiful, quaint towns along scenic trails. On the way back, I spotted this adorable, curious cat who didn’t run away; instead, he observed me intently as I photographed him. I particularly loved how the light highlighted his whiskers, leaving the rest of his face in shadow.

Day 294: The Ruins of Lanjarón Castle
On our way to Capileira, we paused at a viewpoint with this stunning landscape of ancient castle ruins. Capileira itself is a gem settled in the mountains with a abundance of walking paths. I imagine the colours here will be extraordinary later in the autumn. I'll share more photos of Capileira in a future blog.

Day 295: Albuñuelas
A gorgeous day called for a walk around Albuñuelas. Though the path was a bit lengthy, the light was beautiful, and I couldn’t resist capturing plenty of shots. I also gathered some wild rosemary along the way to add to our dinner that evening.

Day 296: Saleres’ Church
As we were packing for the next part of our journey to Córdoba, I discovered a lovely new path near Saleres’ church. The arrangement along this path had such a charming feel. This holiday in Saleres has truly been one of my favourites.

Day 297: Arriving in Córdoba
Reaching Córdoba brought the challenge of driving near the tourist area, where narrow roads filled with people made navigation quite a feat. But Córdoba’s beauty impressed me from the start. I managed to capture a quick photo from our apartment balcony, ready to explore more in the coming days.

Day 298: Puente Romano
With rain forecast for the afternoon, we spent the morning exploring. Although I had hoped to visit the Alcázar de los Reyes Cristianos and its gardens, we postponed until later. Fortunately, I had taken this shot of the Puente Romano earlier that captures the bridge’s historic charm.

Day 299: Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba
For our last day in the gorgeous city of Córdoba, we visited the Mosque-Cathedral. I’ll be sharing a blog post with more photos of this beautiful place. Our holiday ends tomorrow as we travel back to the UK. We’re going to miss Spain, as always!
