An Euro coin stands atop a 1.2 kilogram orange picked in Vilvestre, Spain, 15 July 2008. This fruit comes from an orange tree bought by a Spanish couple 16 years ago in the Portuguese region of Freixo a Espada Cinta, on the border to Vilvestre. The owners of the tree, which grows an average of fourty oranges of one kilo per year, explained that their 'secret' is a special fertilizer known as 'gallinaza' and the microclimate of that area.
