Born on the French island of Guadeloupe in the Caribbean sea, this authentic, cheerful and charismatic girl, an art history student, was crowned Miss France 2020 and got to the TOP10 of Miss Universe 2021.
If something characterizes the Andalusian Holy Week, it is the fragrance of orange blossom in its streets, full of orange trees -which give sour orange. The beginning of Lent, Ash Wednesday, is almost synchronized with the appearance of the first orange blossoms. Azahar is a word of Arabic origin, az-zahr, which means “white flower“. In my portfolio I have a photo gallery of the Marchena orange blossom.
However, just 47 days before Holy Week, all the streets are still under construction. Will the works be finished on time? We will have to ask María del Mar Romero Aguilar, mayoress of Marchena. The route of the Three Kings parade had to be changed, and it did not end well.
When Giorgio Armani filmed 5 seconds of a commercial in Marchena
A few years ago, and with hardly anyone noticing due to the required confidentiality, an entire filming set was installed right on the esplanade of the Church of Santa María de la Mota in Marchena. It was November 18, 2019, when Giorgio Armani had chosen Marchena as the ideal location to film part of the campaign for his new perfume “My Way.” The actress Adria Arjona, known for series such as Andor (from the Star Wars universe), True Detective, Person of Interest and Blood Omen, among others, stars in this advertisement in which she travels the world through countries that represent the essence of the perfume. And one of the ingredients is, in fact, orange blossom.
