Biznaga

A tribute to a symbol of Málaga: the biznaga.

This is much better than a single rose, or a cluster of baby's breath or a pair of blinking LED sunglasses; it's a biznaga.

Biznaga malagueña

A biznaga is a dried stalk of a plant that in the afternoon they put buds of jasmine flowers. Jasmine blooms at night, so in a few hours you have a stalk of beautiful white flowers that perfume the air wherever you go. They are sold by biznagueros in the city during the summer months and the flowers leave trails of scent down the alleys and streets like snails.

In addition to keeping mosquitos away and serving as a symbol of culture for the city, these flowers serve to remind you that there are malagueños who love you and will jump up during dinner and run to buy you flowers.
