ALBOX is once again celebrating the Almond Blossom Route, taking full advantage of the fact almond blossom is reaching its full splendour in all parts of the province.

The route will take place on Sunday, February 26, leaving from Albox at 8.30am.

Walkers will have the opportunity to see the full bloom of the almond trees of the Sierra de las Estancias. This year, due to weather conditions, the blossoming of the almond trees has not been brought forward and begins at the end of February and throughout March.

Phil took to Facebook to thank all that helped to organise the event, including the bowling alley staff who provided excellent service during a busy day and local businesses who gave generously for the raffle.

Phil closed with a plea for all men to get regular PSA blood tests, to check for prostate cancer as it may literally save a life.
