Orange blossom, olive tree and mint, are the fragrances that envelop the common Spanish-Moroccan space and the living traces of a crossbreeding that crosses centuries. The voluptuous aroma of orange blossom intoxicates visitors to both Fez and Valencia, bringing back old memories of a common legacy lost and rediscovered. The olive tree, sacred tree for both cultures, symbol of life and abundance, has been an inexhaustible source of inspiration for the Andalusian poets. Mint, a key ingredient in the millenary civilization of the two neighboring countries: it perfumes the exquisite Moorish tea and Spanish festive dishes, and unites the everyday with the ceremonial. In short, this title pays tribute to a recovered mestizo identity and a shared history, made of encounters, memory and land.
