A landscape of almonds

Located in a municipality to the northwest of the island, this is the quintessential village of the almond blossom. It offers visitors beautiful, rugged canyons, impressive views, and a calming yet varied landscape dotted with enchanting examples of traditional rural architectur

The Almond Blossom Festival

In this municipality, don’t pass up on the Miraflores lookout point, the Church of San Mauro Abad, windmills, natural open areas of Barranco de Izcagua, or the El Fayal forest. The Puntagorda market is also an interesting place to visit, where local farmers and artisans sell their products face to face. And if your trip is in January or February, you should check out the Almond Blossom Festival, which is undertaken in a spirit of love for this fruit and the colour of its flowering trees.

Sustainability

Never leave waste of any type lying around, including cigarette butts. Leftover food leads to a proliferation of rats and wild cats, which pose a serious threat to the fauna.
Do not throw any waste or other objects into the sea.
Respect the animals. Do not bother them or feed them. If you see an injured specimen, you can call the emergency number: 112. Do not pick flowers or plants.
Do not pick up or take away stones or any other item from the natural environment. And do not move them to pile them up into sadly famous 'towers'.
Respect and look after the area's historic and cultural heritage, along with the different items of public furniture (information panels, railings, seats, lighting, etc.).
