To _ Ibiza _ in January? Yes, and you're already late. A few weeks ago we warned you that winter was a good time to travel to the white island because it is at this time of year when you will appreciate it the most.
The silence, the sunlight, the calm sea -barely without boats to navigate it- and its clear and shimmering fields are quite a sight to relax... Here the bloom Arrives at the end of January when the flowers of the almond fields from Pla de Corona in Santa Agnès, one of the best-known towns in Sant Antoni, are beginning to sprout.
The flowering of almond trees in Pla de Corona.
The Pla de Corona is an extensive plain , 3 square kilometers and circular in shape, located northwest of Ibiza, 180 meters above sea level.
Is about one of the most characteristic and symbolic areas of the island . Their fertile red soil , highly valued by farmers, is divided into small plots of land where almond trees abound, which at the time of their flowering turn the landscape into something unique. They say that much more on full moon nights.
That's the reason why Numerous artists, travelers and nature lovers come on these dates to see the show and immortalize it. Being a plain free of buildings -the majority are low typical Ibizan houses- allows you to better appreciate the flowering which is mixed among other crops such as cereal, vines, olive trees, carob trees and fig trees, as well as a flock of sheep.
January marks the start of flowering.
Flowering is not an exact science , so it is difficult to predict with complete certainty which day begins. It is usually marked by start of the patron saint festivities of Santa Agnès de Corona, on January 21, and usually lasts until mid-February, also coinciding with the end of the festivities.
In these they are organized different activities around the flowering of the almond trees . For example, for this February 16, a night walk through the fields has been called.
