Passionate story about flowering

The end of each winter brings to the lands of Cieza (Murcia) an explosion of color caused by the flowering of its peach trees. The different varieties of this Ciezano emblem, as well as their capricious distribution due to parceling, make up a spectacle of gigantic proportions.

The trees hatch in a burst, almost completely covering the wood, weaving the characteristic carpet. Seen from above, with the perspective of the distance, it is a sea of colors. Up close, from inside, you can see the texture of the flower and the smell of the trees mixing with that of the earth. It is the prelude to spring. The change of season. The beginning of the peach growing cycle. A natural wonder. A painting that lasts just a month. Ephemeral art. A characteristic postcard of Cieza (Murcia) that perfectly represents the image of the municipality.

Great article from our friend and collaborator Juan Francisco.
