Almond trees are covered in white and pink flowers, creating incredibly beautiful landscapes.
According to one of the legends, the king of Mallorca took as his wife a princess from the North, who was missing the snow, and the king, in order to please his beloved, ordered fields to be filled with almond trees. One morning the princess went out onto the balcony and jumped in surprise, seeing everything covered in a white carpet that looked like snow, but it was just almond trees blooming.

Almond blooming in Mallorca lasts about a month, and during this period the whole island, especially in the central areas and mountains, turns into a picturesque flowering ocean. The almond gardens, located in places such as Valdemossa, Deya and the central part of the island, are becoming especially popular for walks and photo shoots.
Almond trees not only attract the eye with their beauty, but are also important to the local economy. After flowering, the trees produce fruits that are used to make products such as almond milk, almond cakes and sweets.
Almond tree blooming also has a symbolic value. It is associated with the arrival of spring, new beginnings and the rebirth of nature.
