OPuNTIA
The two room indigo colored apartment, with its “prickly pear” opuntia trompe l’oeil murals and pear green tiled floors, is situated on the ground floor. It looks out on a picturesque alley and on the leafy square where our apartments reside.
Consisting of one double bedroom, one living/dining room and two sofas, it can accommodate up to four people when the sofa is converted into a single or a double bed.
The bathroom has a shower and the kitchenette is fully equipped. The apartment is air conditioned and you can also opt for the ceiling fan. There is WiFi, a TV and a safe.
The Opuntia cactus is found all over the Mediterranean, although its origins lie in today’s Mexico City. Opuntia plays a pivotal role in the ancient Aztec myth about the founding city of Tenochtitlan, which translates to ‘the cactus on the rock’. It grows on dry and rocky terrains and produces a delicious fruit called fragkosiko in greek, roughly meaning ‘fig from elsewhere’. In italian it is known as ficodindia, ‘indian fig’, in England as prickly pear and in Malta bajtra, which is also the name of a liqueur produced by the fruit. Sweet and smooth, tropical and juicy, it makes for an amazing agua fresca.
