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 - Frailes, Jaen, Traditional Crafts & Wine

You never know what's around the corner! On a visit to the tiny town of Frailes in the Sierra Sur de Jaen about an hour from my holiday rental home Casa Rural El Reguelo and home to a great winery and cheese factory, one of the old village characters had his wares laid out for sale. Some exquisitely and intricately made esparto-grass items. Such skill, I hope he's passed it on.

He then proceded to take out some murky looking bottles, plastic cups and offered us some of his surprising and extremely drinkable home-made wine. I love where I live.


I went to Frailes Gastronomy Fair with some fellow Andalucia Travel Bloggers - Read the post Gastronomy & Wine in Frailes
