In The Photos of the Readers of La Vanguardia we can contemplate the beautiful sunset in front of the almond blossoms in Mijas Costa.
Anyone who believes that the flowering of these trees only appears in broad daylight is wrong, as these series of images captured at sunset demonstrate.
The almond tree is a deciduous tree that originated in Western Asia and has been cultivated in Spain for more than 2,000 years.
The almond tree is a tree that knows how to choose when to flower in winter, assuming the risk of losing flowers in a possible frost, but also weighing the danger of having difficulties to ripen its fruits in summer.
Almond trees flower long before other fruit trees, which usually wait for the arrival of spring. They generally do it around the months of February and March, but it is observed that more and more progress is made in mid or late January, as has also happened this year.
