Almond blossom does not follow a fixed calendar. The exact timing varies each year depending on rainfall and temperatures, but peak bloom usually falls between late January and early March. Before visiting, it’s worth checking local updates or asking at the Santiago del Teide tourist office.

The hike starts in or just above the village of Santiago del Teide, where street parking is available. The exact trailhead is connected to the local network of signposted routes to SL-TF 60 having diferent variants.

You can do the circular trail you find on the map or just go until you feel comfortable and come back.

We don’t post the orginal trail to avoid doing road trail. 

This is a easy walk suitable for different fitness levels if done at a relaxed pace. The route is best enjoyed slowly, taking time to observe the landscape rather than rushing through it. Some sections are gently sloped and accessible, while others are more uneven.

Almond blossom season is short and delicate. Stay on marked trails, do not pick flowers or break branches, and take all rubbish with you. Wear comfortable shoes, bring sun protection, and carry a light layer, as temperatures can change quickly at this altitude.
