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 - Jaén´s Renaissance Cathedral

Even though the lovely old plaza in front of the cathedral had it´s magnolia trees ripped out and nothing put in place I have to admit every time I see this cathedral I´m impressed.




It is enormous and magnificent from the outside and over-the-top in religiosity inside, it´s also home to one of the cloths that was used to wipe Christ’s face on his way to be crucified. Every Friday people are allowed to kiss the cloth.
