Flowering orange



It was always a dream of me to see the region of Valencia in springtime when the orange is in bloom . The late oranges are on the trees and others are full in bloom. That is what the Spanish people call Azahar and what gives this coast his name.
A wonderful smell is in the air. The lemons are ripe and it is a wonderful look . One part yellow, other orange and the new white bloom of azahar.



This region is famous for his tills Azulejos . The Arabs founded this industry and in this days there are hundreds of big factories.
The name Azulejos comes from Arabic and you can find in the word azul what means blue in Islamic world.



Just one more Azahar bloom.
In springtime, the time of the most marriages in Spain this flower is the symbol of luke and in all wedding-bouquet you will find orange bloom, El Azahar.
