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.

Guadix' Ampitheatre - There's More Underground than Cave Dwellers

On a recent jaunt to a city I count as one of my favourite in  Andalucia I saw excavation work in progress, that I don't remember from previous visits.

A Roman soldiers found local wives and a colony was formed in this natural crossroads. The archaeological remains of the Amphitheatre, which dates from the 1st century, has informative touch screen portraying the design of the original theatre.
