Simons Book Club | Jacaranda Season in Lisbon @SimonsBookClub | Uploaded June 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
This is my second year in Lisbon, and there's something truly special about this time of year. From late spring to early summer, the Jacaranda trees color the city with their vivid purple blooms, an annual phenomenon that turns regular streets into magical, vibrant corridors. These trees originally come from South America and only found their way here in the 19th century, so they’re not that old, but now, they're a cherished part of Lisbon's urban landscape. Every gust of wind creates a magical wash of purple rain, and the grounds become a royal carpet of fallen flowers.
It's these quiet moments of nature's artistry in the midst of the busy city that continue to inspire me. So I made this little video here to show you a bit of what it looks like. I hope you like it, and get the chance to visit Lisbon one day and to see them for yourselves 💜
