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.

Trams in Jaén

The tram system built with European funds came to a standstill 13 months ago before it ever got running properly. When local bus companies who´d had the monopoly on public services in the city complained the trams still undergoing trials were stopped.




This week trials are taking place again to see whether it´s possible to get the service going even though all reports are saying it´s not viable!
