Biznaga Malaguena

I recently found out that this is a traditional symbol of the city of Málaga! The biznaga is a handmade flower created by placing jasmine blossoms onto the indiviudal stems of the armazon plant. Thanks to the infuence of the arabs and the warm climate here there is an abundance of them. Most gardens/patios in Málaga are decorated with this flower because it is not only beautiful, but also gives off a lovely sweet smell. It is typical in the summer for men to sell these flowers in the street, leaving a trace of their wonderful smell wherever they go.
