Spring arrived in the town of Aitona, in the Segrià region, with its elegant and delicate pink dress. Drawing sighs and praise from the hundreds of tourists who, smiling and curious, tour the fields of peaches, paraguayans and nectarines that extend across 8,000 hectares.
Pink flowering plantation that we see portrayed in this report in La Vanguardia's Readers' Photos and that patiently awaits the aromatic and delicious fruits.
It is quite a challenge to describe this natural miracle that is already part of the culture and tradition of Aitona, a tourist area located on the lower bank of the Segre River, in the province of Lleida, 200 kilometers from Barcelona.
We can only enjoy this wonderful spectacle once a year. Fruit trees bloom at the end of February, until mid-April.
They are agricultural plantations that receive the best care of hundreds of workers, who carefully take the crops to their final stage successfully. More than 100 million kilograms of peaches are harvested during the year, of which 80% of the fruit is exported to the rest of European countries.
When visitors walk through the pink fields, feelings of love, generosity, kindness, sympathy and gratitude are awakened in them, and no heart can resist such beauty.
In spring, Aitona becomes the center of attraction of Catalonia. Spellbound and in love, tourists capture in photographs some of the most captivating walks of their lives. The soft breeze infuses your hair with the sweet aroma of pink flowers, and that smell will last in your memories forever.
Spring in this area of Spain is not only a season, it is a dream come true, because we have all dreamed of a simple, pure, crystalline or rosy life.
