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.

Andalucia's first gastromarket, the Mercado Victoria in Cordoba is a great place to eat. Just a short walk from the Juderia and Mezquita, it's set in a 19th century wrought-iron structure first built for the city's fairs and exhibitions. The 30 odd stalls really do offer something for everyone, buy your drink and select your food from whichever takes your fancy. Some ready to eat, other delicacies ready to cook but whatever you can think of is most likely on offer.
