Escape to the Horta en Flor

Visits to Horta farms

The flowering of plums, apricots, peaches, nectarines, paraguayans and silverberries at the beginning and mid-March is followed by the flowering of pears and apple trees at the end of March and until mid-April. The flowering in the Horta culminates in June with the show of blooming lavender. Between April and June, the green of the vegetables and cereals accompanies the green of the fruit trees that are already starting to produce the first sweet fruits.

Aromas of Can Roselló: with prior reservation.

Unique farm for organic lavender cultivation, unique in the Horta. Born in 2014, this project began by making lavender essential oils. They now offer a range of products ranging from air fresheners and cosmetics to beer. In the estate, we can see the mural "El Pont del Boc de Biterna", inaugurated in 2021 and related to the festival and performance of the Witches of Pont del Boc which tells the old story of the accusation of witchcraft of a group of women who practiced natural medicine. The Pont del Boc de Biterna, near Aromes de Can Rosselló, dates from the s. XVI. During the month of June is when the lavender bloom takes place.
