A tribute to the horse and the mandarin orange, coinciding with the Chinese New Year, when mandarins are given as gifts, representing prosperity, abundance, and good luck. This citrus fruit was introduced to Spain from Asia in the 19th century, and today we are one of the leading producers.

A nod to the horse and the mandarin orange 🐎🍊, coinciding with the Chinese New Year, a time when mandarins are given as gifts, representing prosperity, abundance, and good luck. In the X century, the Arabs introduced citrus fruits to Mallorca, transforming the Tramuntana mountains into a fertile landscape. In the XIX century, oranges from Sóller traveled by train to France; transporting fruit was transporting wealth.

The horse is known for its energetic and dynamic nature and symbolizes vitality, speed, and perseverance. From Paleolithic cave paintings like those in La Pileta in Málaga or La Pasiega in Cantabria, we know that equids existed on the Iberian Peninsula more than 20,000 years ago. But there, as in the rest of the world, they all became extinct at the end of the Pleistocene. Thanks to the survival of some in the Asian steppes, the Earth was able to be repopulated with equids. 2026 is the Year of the Fire Horse; resilience and prosperity are some of the qualities it represents, and we trust in all the good that this amulet can bring us.
