About this audio guide
This guide to the Mirador del Limonar in Málaga starts on the fourteenth of October, 1894, when Teodoro Roldán and seven other Málaga businessmen arrived to buy out a struggling citrus company for three thousand pesetas. It follows what that purchase actually meant for the farmhands who had spent years turning this hillside into productive lemon orchards, and the deal the buyers struck with city hall before a single villa went up. You'll hear how an engineer platted the plots and wealthy families moved in around the trees. Listen for the citrus scent that still clings to this corner of the hillside.
