3Jerte Valley, Spain

Located in the Extremadura region of western Spain, the Jerte Valley becomes a sea of white in early spring as more than 2 million cherry trees bloom simultaneously. Known locally as Cerezo en Flor, this spectacular event typically occurs from late March to early April and lasts for about two weeks. What makes Jerte Valley unique is not just the cherry blossoms but also the festival that accompanies it, with traditional food, music, and cultural events celebrating the region’s agricultural history. The valley, surrounded by mountains, provides a picturesque setting that amplifies the beauty of the blossoms.
