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.

DK Eyewitness Travel Spain Guidebook

I´ve just received my review copy of DK Eyewitness Travel - Spain. I´m so glad it came on Saturday because I didn´t put it down all morning. I even used it with my Spanish student in her English speaking lesson, we had great fun sharing where we´ve been and even more so where we want to go from the bright colourful pages of this guidebook.

It´s not a how-to-get-there guide but a great flick through 720 page picture book as well as being packed with lots of information. I love the style and feel, it´s sumptuous and inviting and I want to go everywhere I´ve seen in it. Now!

This is the latest, only just out, revised edition of a book that was first published in the UK in 1996.

It´s fun, informative and will be well dipped into by your truly. Want your own? They are now available from Amazon.
