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 - The Alcázar, Córdoba

The water terraces and fountains in the 14th century Alcázar de los Reyes Cristianos in Córdoba.



The Alcázar was built on the orders of Alfonso XI in 1328 and was the base for Fernando II and Isabel during their campaign to conquer the Moorish held city of Granada. The gorgeous gardens, fish ponds and fountains were restored in the 1950s and make a delightful resting spot with shade and the trickling of water.
