Corn Poppy Fields

This very nice red flower appears simple at the country side. We have seen nice fields of Corn Poppies in Canal de San Clemente (Huescar region Altiplano), El Padul (Necrin Valley), also near Cajár, Monachil and near the lake Cubillas (region Vega de Granada) and in La Peza,  Lugros (region Guadix).


Almond Flowers

The province has a large almond production. In spring this results fields of trees with white flower.  The areas are situated in the Alpujarra, El Marquesado and the Altiplano. Because of the climate it can be that the trees in the Alpujarra have flowers and the the trees in the Altiplano have to wait a month.
