When does the almond tree bloom in Alicante?
For tourists and residents of Spain, the almond orchards of Alicante have become a true symbol of early spring and the perfect backdrop for strolls and photo shoots. Almond blossom on the Costa Blanca begins earlier than in many other regions of Spain, from late January to early March.
Why are almond orchards so attractive?
During the flowering period, the almond tree creates a special atmosphere: silence, space, mountains on the horizon, and thousands of delicate flowers. The almond orchards of the Costa Blanca are especially popular for: photo walks, individual and women’s photo sessions, couples and family photo sessions.
Soft light and natural colours make these locations ideal for outdoor photography.
Where to find almond orchards in the province of Alicante?
Almond trees rarely grow in the tourist towns themselves. The most beautiful orchards are found in rural areas and closer to the mountains. Areas where you can most often see almond blossoms include: the Valle de Jalón valley, the villages of Alcalalí, Parcent, and Llíber, the area around Pinoso, Hondón de las Nieves and Hondón de los Frailes, Biar and Bocairent, and the Sierra de Mariola natural area.
Here, almond orchards line roadsides, hillsides and valleys, creating picturesque routes for walks and photo sessions.
