Puntagorda is preparing to celebrate the 48th edition of its Almond Blossom Festival, the most emblematic event of this charming town, renowned for its rural landscape and majestic almond trees. This celebration pays tribute to the town's symbol, nature, which every year awakens with a unique spectacle for the eyes and the senses.
The blooming of the almond trees not only transforms the landscape into a postcard of unparalleled beauty but also gifts us the exquisite almonds of La Palma, an essential ingredient in the region's most traditional sweets.
The festival, full of tradition, culture, and nature, will take place from Friday, January 24th, to Sunday, February 2nd, offering locals and visitors the chance to enjoy a program packed with activities that celebrate the richness of this unique part of the island.
