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 Post - Bodegas Hidalgo - La Gitana

Last week I had the pleasure of visiting some of the fabulous producers of olive oil and wine in Andalucia with the Tasty Andalucia iniciative.

Our last day and activity was a wine tasing in the ancient Bodega Hidalgo - La Gitana in Sanlucar de Barrameda in Cadiz province. Can you imagine the smell when you enter this enormous winery?
