With colorful buildings and art lining the streets of Seville, los árboles de las naranjas (orange trees) add a pop of natural green, and in the spring they offer oranges to people walking by! (Although I have been warned not to eat this fruit because it is too sour.) Sadly, right now in the Fall, the trees are not in bloom, and you cannot always see the oranges, but that does not diminish the impact this plant has on the city. Both tourists and locals enjoy the natural touch!
To me, the orange trees look similar to apple trees, and in the Spring they are full of orange spheres that brighten up the already lively city. For now, in the fall, the trees look like any other, but if you look close enough you can see the green oranges waiting to change color!
As I previously mentioned, the trees are everywhere and are a welcome sight for everyone. I often see tourists checking out the trees and younger kids collecting the (currently) green oranges in the parks. While there is a mix of other fruit trees like olive and granada (pomegranate) trees, the orange trees make up the majority of the trees in the city. Seville has the most orange trees than any other city in the world!
