An historic city

Read this article about Cordoba, a city in Spain.

Historic stone bridge over a calm river, with an ancient cityscape and mountainous backdrop under a clear sky.

Hasta el siglo quince, la ciudad de Córdoba fue una de las capitales más importantes del mundo musulmán. Los edificios que se pueden ver son una mezcla de estilos. Cuando visitas la catedral, recibes una gran sorpresa: está dentro de una mezquita.

La época ideal para visitar es la primavera. La temperatura no alcanzará los cuarenta y cinco grados como en verano. Las calles están llenas de árboles de naranjas, y sus flores tienen un olor muy dulce.

Pero si lo que te interesa es aprender la lengua, una escuela en Córdoba te ofrece clases a cinco minutos andando del centro y con clases para todos los niveles de español.

Answer the following question in English.

What is so special about the flowers on the orange trees?
