The orange feast in the Lecrin valley - south of Granada
Every year in april, the Lecrin valley, in the south of Granada organizes la Feria de las naranjas. It was a nice opportunity to spend a lazy sunny saturday in Melegis, one of the most charming villages in the valley
the townhall asked fine art students in Granada university to design and build a few pieces of urban furniture so that passers by could sit down and admire the view of the neighbouring villages and the oranges groves
just like this....and isn't it amazing I found the perfect chaise longue to match my dotted dress?
we then headed to restaurant Los Naranjos for drinks and tapas...plenty of orange juice to drink too...
we were lucky to find a sunny nearly empty terrace when we arrived
the restaurant had a special cod menu. We tried this cod terrine with salad, which was more or less like a brandade.....mmmm...delicious
we came back loaded with a big bag of oranges
edit to post : that day, as we were sipping fresh orange juice on the terrace of Los Naranjos, I told Monchéri, I could never leave Andalucia, especially this valley. Of course, going to Paris from time to time is also vital for me but this little corner of the world is indeed very special.

Nosotros ya hemos comprado una finquita aquí de almendros para hacernos una casita pequeñita! La compramos esta semana y estamos muy contentos!
The views are awesome. It looks like you had an absolutely wonderful day.
I can see why you are in love with this beautiful, gorgeous place:))
I love all the glimpses that you show of your beautiful valley too:)))
Cheers.
The hills in your photos remind me of some places here in California that look very similar, except for the architecture. I enlarged all of them to see the details.

J'espère que Paris t'apportera autant de soleil ...dans le business
I was unfamiliar with Andalucia prior to finding your blog, now it is on my list of places to visit.
The urban furniture stunning :)
