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.

Travel Writer Cordoba and Jaén, Andalucia

It´s been a long while since I posted here on Andalucia Explorer. Life keeps throwing things into  the work-and-family-life mix, not leaving much time for this blog.

My latest project has been writing and researching the Cordoba and Jaén chapter for the new Blue Spain Andalucia guide by Lonely Planet, out in early summer 2023.

Other than than, writing, what should be a fortnightly article, for BeSeeingYou.World.com and my own blogs Luxury Spain Travel and Only Spain Boutique Hotels little time has been spent here, my first foray into blogging.

My other job also racks up many hours meeting people of differing nationalities and travelling around showing them what will hopefully be their new home or holiday home. Yes, I´m an estate agent in Jaén province right up there in the north of Andalucia, almost on the border with the Quixote lands of - Castilla La-Mancha.

My adopted home, since 1996, affords me plenty of fabulous places to visit and write about, even now after all these years.
