Fun Facts:

• The oranges from the Sevilla Orange trees you see in the Square are for everybody to pick and use but they are sour and bitter so we don’t recommend you eating them directly! They are often used for cooking purposes to make marmalade, cake and chocolate.
• When you visit Orange Square make sure you look out for all the bins that have been handpainted by an artist from Marbella in order to add something a little different and unique to Orange Square.
