Lemons

Mythology tells that it covered the Atlas Mountains, although its real origin is in Southeast Asia.It is believed to be named after its colour, which is similar to that of the costumes worn by the rulers of Indochina and southern China, known as Mandarins, who held it in high esteem.

As a consequence of the great voyages and migratory movements: Alexander the Great’s conquests, crusades, etc., it spread throughout Europe.

In Spain it began to be traded at the beginning of the 18th century. In 2006, Spain produced more than 2.5 million tons, making it the second largest producer in the world.

The Region of Murcia dedicates an area of approximately 1,657 hectares to lemon cultivation, producing around 62,000 tons in 2007. The climate in our region is highly suitable for its cultivation.
