Almond Blossom on Mallorca
For a few days now, the first almond trees have begun to unfold their pink and white blossoms - a truly wonderful winter scenery here on Mallorca.
It is probably one of the most beautiful seasons on the island, attracting and delighting many nature lovers from all over the world. Almond trees can be found almost all over the island, especially in the inland, in the east and south. Only in the north are there a few isolated trees.
There are several million almond trees all over the island, enriching the island's nature with their delicate fragrance and a multitude of blossoms. It is an experience for all the senses, as many almond farmers have expanded their traditional harvest to include products such as almond liqueur, almond blossom honey, almond oil and even cosmetics with almond additives.
You can usually experience the splendour of the blossoms all over the island until the beginning of March, enveloping the landscape like Mallorcan snow. During a relaxed walk or hike, you will find many photo motives of the beautiful abundance of blossoms. The pink flowers indicate that it is a bitter almond and the white flowers represent a sweet almond.
