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 - Via Verde de Aceite Bridge

Monday morning photo - Bridge on the Via Verde de Aceite at Estacion de Luque, just over the border from Jaén into Cordoba province. The Via Verdes are the old steam train routes, now for walkers and cyclists. A network of routes can be found across Spain.

Where to stay to walk on the Via Verde? Hacienda Hotel Minerva, which has a live Flamenco guitarist most Friday evenings is right on the Via Verde. (This is a Booking.com link, which may earn me a bit of commission to keep on exloring.)
