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.

Four Great Glamping Sites in Spain

With a fabulous climate, especially in the south and the islands, where better to find great glamping sites than in Spain. Over 300 days of sunshine a year (in the south) promises fine weather and some of the wildest, most remote and natural spaces you can imagine.

So with that in mind and with a love of the outdoors I've brought together a list of gorgeous back to nature spots for your perusal. I did a bit of camping in my time but now at quite a bit more than half a century I prefer more comfort, and not to sleep down on the floor,  these glamping sites definitely offer that.

So let's head down to the western province of Cadiz in Andalucia, inland from the Costa del  Sol in Malaga province, over to the eastern Mediterranean coast and Alicante then fly over to the Canary Islands and Lanzarote for a bit of glamorous camping - also known as glamping.

Dehesa de las Yeguas offers safari tent style glamping in the province of Cadiz. Dehesa de las Yeguas means pasture for horses, especially mares, which conjures up lots of space and you'll probably see horses riding past your front porch.

There are four fabulously designed and decorated tents to rent or a larger family farmhouse with lots of activities on site and plenty to do and visit nearby in this beautiful Natural Park in Cadiz province.
