Title: Daffs in Spain
Post by: JohnnyD on January 11, 2020, 12:53:36 PM

Clare and I are hoping to get to Spain or Portugal for a week at the end of February / early March with a view to finding Narcissi.
Does anyone have suggestions as to 'hot spots' at that time?

Greentours regularly runs trip to Western Iberia to see the daffodils.  I went on the trip a few years ago.  Check out their 2012 tour report and also the tour itinerary for ideas where to go.   http://www.greentours.co.uk/Alpine-Garden-Society/Alpine-Garden-Society/ (http://www.greentours.co.uk/Alpine-Garden-Society/Alpine-Garden-Society/)

You could also look around and see if Naturtrek or any similar groups run tours to the area and see what you can glean from their website.

Early march in north of Portugal it's a perfect timing, Narcissus are everywhere in the mountains.
