Reloj De Pulsera The Moorish Princess of Algarve

This is a romantic legend from Portugal’s southern Algarve region. Long ago, a Moorish princess from Algarve fell in love with a Christian Portuguese knight, despite the challenges their love faced due to cultural and religious differences. The knight, to make the princess feel at home, planted almond trees throughout the region. In winter, when the almond trees bloomed, the white flowers resembled snow, reminding the princess of northern lands and soothing her homesickness. This story is often shared as the reason almond trees are so abundant in Algarve.
