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.

About Me

Hi, thank you for checking me out. I'm  Rachel Webb, Travel Writer, Spanish Boutique Hotel Lover, pre-published Picture Book writer, contributor to Lonely Planet´s new Andalucia Guide and Blogger.


On the Caminito del Rey



I moved from the UK to Jaen, Andalucia in 1996 with my husband and two sons, now three sons, one granddaughter, websites, blogs, chickens, two dogs and a cat later, my adopted home still enthrals me.

I never tire of the endless scenery, the sea of olive groves, the multi-coloured sunsets, chattering birds, white towns scattered through mountains and valleys and of course the friendly people. This is a home I can´t imagine leaving. Exploring yes, late gap-year world travel yes, but to find more peace, more space, less stress than rural Andalucia, no.

Between home, working as an estate agent, writing and gardening, exploring often takes the back seat, especially in the summer heat. My home is in the Sierra Sur de Jaen, the most northerly of the eight provinces. My hope with this blog is to share many moments of living in and exploring Andalucia with you.

I´m as happy in a motorhome as in 5* star accommodation, I love to drive but am happy to be driven, I love to explore by myself or with others, whatever, however, I just love mooching around this incredible country of Spain and beyond.

Paid posts and fam trips are sometimes accepted (and stated as such) and I love to do reviews. My Luxury Spain Travel blog also gets the benefit of my explorations and writings. My Press Kit is over on Luxury Spain. Or you can read my latest article on this blog's Other Writings page.
