Answer

Why are oranges so closely tied to Mallorca’s identity?

Oranges are part of Mallorca’s landscape, food culture and memory for many residents and visitors. Picking fruit directly from the field gives a very immediate sense of place, especially in rural parts of the island. For many people, that smell and taste are linked to a more personal, slower Mallorca.
