Cedarwood, frankincense, myrrh, with pine needles, turrón (almond nougat) and brandy.

Everyone in the village looks forward to the Three Kings holiday and its unique fragrances – a highlight of the winter months.  We love to walk down into the village, through the woods, with their gorgeous fragrance of trampled pine needles (which smell to us like a field full of fresh Christmas trees).  Then, we get to the heart of the village, where the church doors are wide open and the air is sufffused with incense, as well as the warm scent of traditional, homemade turrón (almond nougat) being sold from stalls.  It’s usually cold (even in Spain), so there’s much milling about with the promise of a brightening tot of brandy.

What a winter treat!
