Hiking Routes to See the Almond Blossoms in Malaga

Guaro

Every year, on a Sunday in late January or early February, Guaro celebrates Almond Day, offering hiking trails, local cuisine tasting, and handmade products for purchase.

At this time, due to the mild coastal climate, almond trees begin to blossom with delicate white and pink flowers. Seeing fields filled with this fragile beauty is a true feast for the senses.

Sierra de las Nieves

The Sierra de las Nieves National Park is a destination worth discovering, with its authentic white villages and beautiful natural spaces.

It is one of the areas in Málaga – as the name suggests – where it can snow in winter.

The villages nestled in the Sierra, with its highest peak, Torrecilla at 1,919 m, surrounded by extensive almond fields, are delightful.

Bordering the Sierra de las Nieves is the village of Guaro, from where there is a beautiful route to Tolox.

Guadalhorce Valley

Those who prefer a peaceful journey through the green Guadalhorce Valley, also known as the orchard of Málaga, can enjoy the gentle hills covered in almost fluorescent green, fruit trees laden with lemons and oranges, and amidst them, the beautiful almond trees in bloom.

Without a doubt, these are paradisiacal views. In Álora, impressive views of an ancient Arab fortress perched on a hill await us.

The villages on this route include Álora, Almogía, Cártama, and Pizarra.

Axarquía

Two additional routes take us to the white villages of Axarquía, on the eastern Costa del Sol. We can take a complete tour of all the villages or simply enjoy some of them with a walk through their fields and dining at a local inn, surely tasting some of the famous “Platos de los Montes”.

The views in this region are spectacular due to the proximity of the Sierras de Tejeda y Almijara Natural Park with the highest peak of the province, La Maroma at 2,066 m, where we might still see some snow.

This route is closer to the sea. In Arenas, there is one of the most spectacular almond groves in the province. The villages on this route are Moclinejo, Macharaviaya, Algarrobo, Sayalonga, and Arenas.
