Almond and cherry blossoms on the Costa Blanca: dream routes to capture spring

For locals, it is a tribute to spring and art; the flowering of almond and cherry trees on the Costa Blanca is much more than a visual spectacle: it is a testament to tradition, nature and art. Inspired by Sorolla and the Mediterranean light he captured in his paintings, these routes become a unique experience for all the senses.

A living canvas on the Costa Blanca

The Costa Blanca becomes a masterpiece every winter, when the almond and cherry trees awaken from their slumber and paint the landscape in pink and white tones. These images recall the studies and paintings of Joaquín Sorolla, who immortalized the light and magic of Mediterranean nature on his canvases. Inspired by this same essence, following these routes is like walking inside a painting.

When can you enjoy the blossoming of the almond and cherry trees?

The blossoming of the almond trees begins between the end of January and the beginning of March, while the cherry trees reach their peak between March and April, when the Vall de Gallinera is proclaimed the winner with the land dyed white by its petals. At this time, the fields of the Costa Blanca are filled with colour, attracting visitors who seek to capture this ephemeral moment full of life.
