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.

Feria de los Pueblos - Fair of the Towns in Jaén

Yet another year has passed and this one the Feria de los Pueblos was able to be celebrated in the IFEJA exhibition centre with great success.

It was a real joy to see so many people had turned out and the exhibition once again taking place.



Many, many olive oil producers displayed their wares. This one with many samples with personalised labels and different bottles for weddings and christenings.



And flavoured gourmet oils too. Here we have lemon, orange and Chocolate!



Different, traditions and customs are also on display. This one from Villacarrillo one of the towns that decorate its streets for Corpus Christi.
