The magic of flowering
Camellias in bloom
The flowering of camellias in the Rías Baixas of Galicia is an event that fills the green and humid landscapes of this coastal region in the northwest of Spain with elegance and sophistication. Every winter and early spring, camellias, with their exuberant flowers of various colors and shapes, become the protagonists of the gardens, parks and estates of this area.
Originally from Asia but passionately adopted by the Galicians, camellias are known for their serene beauty and perfectly arranged petals in a range of colours from pure white to pink, red and deep scarlet. The Rías Baixas are transformed into a mosaic of colours when these flowers begin to bloom, creating a visual spectacle that seems straight out of a fairy tale.
The flowering of the camellias also brings with it a soft and delicate aroma that blends with the fresh Atlantic air, creating an atmosphere of serenity and romance. It is the perfect time to take a quiet stroll through the gardens and enjoy the beauty and tranquillity that the Rías Baixas offer.
Camellias are an important part of Galician culture and have become an emblem of the region. Many historic estates and gardens in the Rías Baixas have collections of camellias that are lovingly and carefully cared for. In addition, the flowering of camellias is the reason for numerous festivals and cultural events throughout the region, where locals celebrate the beauty of these flowers and their roots in Galician culture.
