On this post I'm going to tell you where you can find spring flowers in Spain and show you some beautiful spring pictures. Shall we take a look?
CHERRY BLOSSOMVALLE DEL JERTE (EXTREMADURA)
This is the #1 spot to see cherry blossom trees in Spain. This stunning display of nature is a must if you are in Spain this spring. This valley produces half of the cherries in Spain so you can get an idea of the amount of cherry blossom trees you can find there. The beautiful white blossoms last for ten days and usually happen between March and April. Prepare your walking shoes, as there are many trails to walk around.

ALMOND TREE
Spain is the second producer of almond in the world - the first being the US-, that means we have plenty of almond trees all over the country.
QUINTA DE LOS MOLINOS (MADRID)
This park in Madrid offers the Spanish equivalent of the cherry blossom festival in Spain. What you will find here is a sea of almond trees which are blossoming at the moment. The blooms only last for a couple of weeks and because of hot temperatures they are going to be ready sooner that other years, so grab your picnic basket and go there this March.
Apart from the 1500 almond trees, in this park you can also find a pond, a windmill, a palazzo, a greenhouse and several fountains.

What to do in Madrid this spring
- How to get there
It's open every day from 6:30am to 10:30pm.
SUNFLOWER
BUREBA (BURGOS, CASTILLA Y LEON)
Not many people in Spain know that we have huge sunflower fields. This funny flower that chases the sun is responsible for the most beautiful and romantic scenes. Fun fact: did you know that sunflowers can be up to 3 meters high? Summer is actually the best time to see these beautiful flowers that follow the sun. The best fields are between the towns of Briviesca and Poza de la Sal.
- How to get there
There are other places in Spain where you can find sunflower fields like Cardejon (Soria), Antequera (Malaga) or Carmona (Seville).
GERANIUM
CORDOBA FLOWER FESTIVAL (ANDALUSIA)
If white washed villages full of bougainvillea weren't enough, Andalusia has even more to offer to flower lovers. Spain's most famous flower festival happens in Cordoba in May. At the beginning of the month, residents open their patios to show their beauty to the world. The local tourism board organizes this event which is actually a contest with judging and prizes awarded.
This year, the festival starts on May 6 and ends on May 19. The patios are open from Sunday to Thursday from 11am to 2pm and from 6pm to 10pm; and Friday and Saturday from 11am to 2pm and from 6pm to midnight.

48 hours in Cordoba
Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba
- Where to stay
When I visited Cordoba, I stayed at Eurostars Conquistador which has an unbeatable location being opposite the world famous mosque-cathedral.
- How to get there
From Madrid take A-4 south. It takes 4 hours by car (394 km). Google Maps
POPPY
CASTILLO DE MONTALBAN (TOLEDO, CASTILLA LA MANCHA)
Amapola -Spanish for poppy- is very common in Spain. They are in full bloom between April and May. One of the most stunning fields is at Castillo de Montalban in the region of Toledo. Picture a gorgeous poppy field with a castle in the background. So picturesque, right?
- How to get there
The trip takes 1h and 40 minutes from Madrid (120 km). Google Maps
CAMELLIA
GALICIA
The characteristics of the soil, wet climate and mild temperatures of Galicia make it the perfect place for camellias to grow. Camelias arrived in Galicia at the end of the 18th century coming from China and Japan. In the west coast of Galicia you can follow La Ruta de las Camelias, a trail that will lead you through several pazos -country manors typical of Galicia- and gardens.
- Where to stay
Hostal dos Reis Catolicos is one of the most luxurious Paradores in Spain.
LAVENDER
BRIHUEGA (GUADALAJARA, CASTILLA LA MANCHA)
And last but not least, Brihuega. Save this one for summer though as lavender flowers won't be ready until July.
- How to get there
You can find Brihuega in the region of Guadalajara, only one hour from Madrid. Take A-2, then CM-2011. Google Maps
