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.

Olives, Olive Trees and Olive Oil

Now the olive trees immediately around my house have been picked life has resumed its peacefulness. The walnut trees are practically bare now, so no more crispy leaves falling like footsteps.







Last week I went to the only olive oil factory in Martos that still presses the olives in the traditional method. It´s a small factory and the press only runs for a couple of weeks in late December.

Come and stay in our holiday home and I´ll take you on a tour.
