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 - Despeñaperros Natural Park

El Parque Natural de Despeñaperros is one of Andalucia's smallest Natural Parks. Erosion caused by the River Despeñaperros  created this natural pass from the region of Andalucia into that of Castilla-La Mancha. 

Rugged and stunning with steep canyons, reams of wildlife from mountain goats to wild boar and various species of Eagles and vultures, plant life, cave paintings and the stunning La Cimbarra waterfall make it a great area to visit.
