Officially spring doesn’t begin until the 20th of March, but it always seems to arrive early here in Andalusia and it’s one of the most beautiful times of year. Wild flowers and blossoms burst from their buds and the mountainous countryside is speckled with colour. As we wandered past the Roman alberca last Saturday and spotted these wonderful daffodils and buttercups, we were inspired to tempt more visitors to come and enjoy the spring with us.
Three cities in Andalucia are especially renowned for their Easter celebrations: Seville, Malaga, and our very-own little Ronda! The procession starts each year on Palm Sunday, with groups of people carrying heavy pasos adorned with Easter iconography. With everyone dressed in their finest dresses or robes for those carrying the icon, the spectacle is a feast for the eyes.
