Even in late January, which is when I took these photographs, the smell of the Cistus and Lavender and the sound of the bees was wonderful. I suspect now in early February it is divine. On this occasion it was the other flowers in this spot which led to us spending a good 20minutes here.
There was so much underfoot, some of which was incredibly tiny, that I found myself in caught up in macro mode yet again.
Eventually I dragged myself away so we could continue our drive and have lunch in Alcoutim, but even as we continued we had to keep stopping as I saw things from the car!
For those who enjoy wildflower identification I have found another great website to add to the list I recommended a week or so ago – try Flores do Campo by Valter Jacinto.
