Spring awakens early in Majorca – and it does so in breathtaking fashion. From late January through February, the heart of the island blooms with the soft colours of almond blossom. This excursion takes you to the parts of the countryside where white and pink blooming almond trees dot the landscape – a quintessentially Majorcan experience.
Villages with almond blossom vary as the weeks go by so you'll get to visit the ones with the best natural spectacle. And the vista is enhanced by meadows full of red poppies and bright yellow daisies.
The annual almond blossom captures the imagination of all who lay eyes on it. There is a subtle delicacy to the beauty of the petals, which range in tones from vanilla white to soft powder pink. The fuchsia edges and yellow stems add to the gracefulness of the flowers. You'll also visit a finca – farm – and taste typical almond products.
