Autumn in this part of Spain is quite odd in that the majority of the trees that lose their leaves don’t change colour first. The Almond trees are a classic example, they stay green and just suddenly lose their leaves. When we were living in Terreros a lot of the plants were either Palm trees or Cacti, again – they don’t change colour.
But here we have a couple of silver birches which changed colour a little but the star of the show was definitely the Persimmon tree, it’s leaves changed to the same colour as it’s fruits – and in the sun it glowed. 
I can’t say I miss the autumn colours but it was nice to see the contrast of this tree amongst all the olive trees.
