When the orange blossom opens

Alamat: Patio de los Naranjos. Cordoba's Mosque. Cardenal Herrero, 1, 14003 Cordoba, Spain

Dimana: Orange trees are a common sight in many streets of Córdoba, but one of the most notable concentrations is found in the courtyard of the Great Mosque. The 'Patio de los Naranjos' is home to 98 of these trees.

Kapan: The flowering of the bitter orange tree (the ornamental species commonly found lining the streets) takes place between late March and early April. The flower begins as a small white bud and, over the course of about 20 days, opens its petals and releases its enchanting fragrance. Once the flowers open, they remain on the tree for a few days before falling to the ground, creating a delicate carpet of fragrant petals beneath the orange trees.
