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.

Fiesta de Queso - Cheese Fair in Zuheros

It's end of summer once again and time for the Cheese Fair in the fairy-tale white mountain village of Zuheros in the Subbetica mountain range to the south of Cordoba province almost touching Jaen province. On 26,27 & 28th September a whole range of traditionally handmade goat cheese, both local and national, will be made on site, on display and for tasting.


This is one of the prettiest and craggiest small town in Cordoba right alongside one of the Via Verde walking and cycling routes, with fabulous huge bat caves, cuevas de los murcielagos, and the poster no way does the town, its tradition or culture justice.



Forgetting the awful poster the event is a cheese lovers must visit and a nature lovers paradise.
