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.

Are these Spain's Narrowest Streets?

When exploring towns large and small around Spain there's often been very narrow streets and I often wonder - why so narrow? To keep out the heat? Lack of space within enclosed, protective walls?

Seville has an incredible maze of narrow, some barely passable by two people. Here's a couple I came across in smaller Andalucian towns. The first one is the quirky 'White Village' of Setenil de las Bodegas just over the Malaga border into Cadiz. A fabulous small town with houses built into and on the overhanging rock.


The second another lovely town, Priego de Cordoba just over the border from my home province Jaen into Cordoba. Another town with a long history, lovely monuments and a balcony that I think is far better than that of Ronda.
