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.

Sierra de la Pandera, highest point of Sierra Sur de Jaen

La Pandera at 1872 m is the highest point of the Sierra Sur de Jaen, a long winding road leads up to an old military base from which the Rock of Gibraltar can be seen. In the distance, right in the middle the Santa Catalina Parador is just visible.


One of the many beautiful spots to visit from our holiday home Casa El Reguelo for walkers, cyclist and fabulous views.
