The first months of the year in the Algarve are always of great beauty and magic, with the almond blossom offering a white and pink blanket that covers the fields in the Algarve interior.
The stunning landscape recalls the legend from the time the region was occupied by Islamic caliphate. At that time, the young caliph Ibn-Almundim reigned in Silves, fell in love and married Gilda, daughter of a great lord of the people of the North. Due to the growing sadness of the beautiful princess, attributed to missing the snow-covered fields of her native country, the caliph had thousands of almond trees planted near the palace windows, so that when they bloomed, they alleviate the longing that the princess felt for the snow.
The blossoming of almond trees in the Algarve in the months of January and February forecasts the mild weather and the spring that is approaching, inviting you to pleasant walks. Visit us as soon as possible and, even if you are no longer able to observe the magic of almond blossom, you can always delight with this superfood with many health benefits, since the almond is widely used in regional pastries, in delicious “doces finos”, “dom rodrigos” or “morgados”!
