Monday Morning Photo - Wisteria Time in Andalucia

How quickly spring comes around after the short winter here in the Sierra Sur de Jaén. After lots of very much needed rain we´re back to the normal cloudless blue.  My garden is shooting incredbily with the moisture and now sunshine. And my beautiful wisteria flowers grandly albeit it short-lived. The big black carpenter bees love it. Each flowering season reminds me of the Botanical Gardens in Malaga and the ´tunnel´ of wisteria that I haven´t yet caught in bloom. April is a good time to plan to go if it´s on your list.  Here´s the botanical garden link La Concepción Botanical Gardens. And a sneaky peak at the wisteria. See the Monday Morning Photos list.

Monday Morning Photo - Baños de la Encina Castle

The impressive and enormous castle in Baños de la Encina - El Castillo de Bury al Hamman also known as  Castillo de Burgalimar is one of Andalucia's best preserved castles dating from the 10th century.

As awe-inspring as the castle are its views stretching south to Sierra Morena the 400km mountain range which straddles Jaen  and Cordoba reaching Huelva province.
