A selection of photos of the almond trees in flower emerging from among the volcanoes, in the town of Santiago del Teide, in Tenerife. Here, the almond trees compete for a place among the fig trees, tuneras and pennyroyal, wearing their best white or pink finery, and spreading their aromatic perfume for the beautiful natural setting of the Tenerife island.
