ALMOND BLOSSOM ROUTE IBIZA
- Every February by FULL
MOON -
In the
year 2009, on Saturday February 7, under the FULL MOON,
the annual ALMOND BLOSSOM ROUTE
Night Walk is held on the island of
Ibiza.
Absolute
highlight of every newborn year is the flowering period of the
Almond trees.
Especially the valley surrounding the small village of
Santa Ines, attracts
many visitors, for its large Almond
Orchards.
All Spanish people love this amazingly beautiful display of nature on
this Balearic island very much,
and plan a short Ibiza holiday
in this period of 5 weeks that the
Almond Trees will flower.
The exact period of blossom depends on the quantity of sun and warmth in
the resting period of the trees, and can be between half December and
half February.
The entire
valley will be covered in a
pinkish-white blanket with a
silvery shine of the
Full Moon while people enjoy their walk through the moonlit fields.
The overwhelming sweet scent of thousands of wonderful flowers is
intense and not
to be forgotten.
For many Spanish people this event is a reason to return to this amazing display
of nature’s beauty on Ibiza, over and over and again in February, to
join the ALMOND BLOSSOM ROUTE
Night Walk.
Symbolic for the end of winter and a new spring that will touch this
beautiful island soon.
Every
FULL MOON in February, the
ALMOND BLOSSOM ROUTE
Night Walk is held in the valley of
Santa Ines.
Participants to the walk gather around
20.00 hrs at the municipality house of
San Antonio from where
the group will start their walk, through the flowering
ALMOND
ORCHARDS towards their destination
Santa Ines
(Santa Agnes).
Around 23.00 hrs. they
will be welcomed by the
APIMA, the association of the
parents of the students of the school,
(Associacion
Pare y Mare
Alumnos in Spanish), who will sell
sobrasada ibiza = sausages, cake, coke and
caleta (typical,
small cup of Ibicenc coffee with lots of alcohol), thick, warm
chocolate milk etc.
