Aras de los Olmos will bloom again this May. From the 16th of this month the colorful floral festival “Aras en flor” will be held. This event, which for another year will decorate dozens of gardens and courtyards of the Valencian town, will organize parallel activities focused on rural tourism, nature and science.
Aras de los Olmos is one of the best places in Spain to observe the sky, and that is why this 2025 astronomy will also be part of the official program.
Among the most important events, on May 31 will take place the participatory mural, the observation of the Moon with wine tasting on June 7, or dinner in the street on June 14.
Below is the detailed program of Aras en Flor 2025.
