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 - Cartajima, Serrania de Ronda Mountains


This was my weekend landscape the incredibly beautiful and unspoilt mountain range of Serrania de Ronda. Only about 50 minutes inland from Marbella but world's away from glitz and glammer. This is peace and quiet walking country. A real escape from the hustle and bustle and a spot where it's impossible not to relax and take things at a slower pace.



Cartijama is one of the White Villages of Alto Genal Valley with only around 100 permanent inhabitants, our hotel was in the middle of the village but very quiet and those views.....

Where we stayed - Hotel Los Castaños

If you want to go walking in this area read my post about Walking the Mountains of Ronda......
