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.

Decorating the Streets with Flowers for Corpus Cristi

A year or two ago, at the end of May we, quite by chance, came across these amazing scenes. Flowery carpets being prepared for the processions to walk on in the little Cordoba town of Bujalance.


Flower Carpets for Corpus Cristi



Bujalance is a small town packed with monuments which we discovered on the way back from a getaway in Montoro and staying in the fabulous converted olive oil mill Hotel Molino la Nava, both of which we'd return to.
