The special Almond Blossom Route

DAYHIKES

Thursday, 30 January 2025

Circular hike through blossoming almond orchards, over country lanes and forest paths and a Roman road, from village to village

The almond blossom offers a very special spectacle every year at this time, whole mountain ridges with white blossoms look like snow-covered mountains from afar.

Our hike leads us from the charming village of Monda, only about 20 minutes away from Marbella, over hills, through farmland, meadows, almond tree plantations and fields to the mountain village of Guaro, with great views to the Sierra de las Nieves. We take a little coffee break half way in Guaro and walk back to Monda in a circular route, ending our trip with tapas at a local bar in Monda village center.
