The almond blossom around Santiago del Teide is one of Tenerife’s prettiest seasonal landscapes. Flowering depends on weather, so treat any date as a guide rather than a guarantee.
Check the season locally
Bloom timing changes from year to year. Look at current local information before making a special trip and be ready to enjoy the scenery even if the blossom is not at its peak.
Drive respectfully
Use legal parking, do not stop on narrow roads and never enter private farmland for photographs. The best images come from public viewpoints and patience.
Combine with the west
Santiago del Teide fits well with Los Gigantes, Masca or a Teide route. Keep the itinerary simple, as mountain roads take longer than they look.
What to bring
Take water, sun protection and a light layer. The weather can change quickly at altitude.
