This region is blessed with a Mediterranean climate and abundant water and could be described as a huge market garden. Everywhere you look the trees are laden with fruit, the greenhouses are full to bursting and the market stalls are creaking under the strain. I must confess I can live without figs and melons but I do get especially excited by the prospect of pomegranate juice and the arrival of fresh walnuts. Talking of melons, last year I was given a pomegranite the size of a honeydew melon!
