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 - Castillo de Santa Catalina - Jaén Castle

Jaén castle sits on top of the hill of the same name - Santa Catalina, which is also the location of the Parador and large monumental white cross. Pop into the parador for a drink, stroll along the walkway for views over the city and mountains beyond and go into the castle, betweeen the two, for more stunning views.
