The almond trees in bloom are one of the most beautiful and ephemeral natural spectacles that can be enjoyed in Ibiza during the beginning of spring.
This phenomenon not only beautifies the island's landscape with a blanket of white and pink flowers, but also plays a crucial role in local culture and gastronomy.
Importance of almonds in Ibizan gastronomy
Almonds have been an essential part of Ibizan gastronomy since ancient times.
This dried fruit is characterized by its versatility and for being a star ingredient in many traditional Ibizan recipes.
From desserts such as salsa de nadal or Ibizan muffins, which have little to do with conventional ones, to savory dishes such as guisat or bullit de peix where almonds provide unique texture and flavor.
In addition, almonds are an important source of nutrients, providing proteins, healthy fats and fiber to the diet of Ibizans.
We love them in all their forms!
Where to see almond trees in bloom in Ibiza
If you find yourself in Ibiza during the flowering season, you have several options to admire this wonderful spectacle.
One of the most famous places is Pla de Corona, located in the north of the island; here, the fields are filled with a white and intense pink that seems straight out of a fairy tale.
Another recommended place is the area near Santa Agnès de Corona where you can enjoy a hiking route that offers panoramic views of the almond trees in full bloom.
In addition to these places, many cycling and hiking routes that run through the rural areas of Ibiza offer the possibility of passing through almond plantations: these routes are especially popular among photographers and nature lovers, who seek to capture the beauty of these trees at their most splendid.
