Trip to Spain and Portugal-Countryside from Badajoz to Cordoba, Spain

Leaving Badajoz, we continued our journey driving to Cordoba.  I took many photos of countryside from later afternoon till the evening when we arrived Cordoba.  It was almost dark.

I've never seen acres and acres of red soil on the ground. And the wooden sticks.  Are they wine farms? I wondered.
