Granada

The name of the city is derived from its original Arabic name, Garnata, not as some believe from the fruit, pomegranate which derives its name from Medieval Latin pōmum "apple" and grānātum"seeded" or the French word for the fruit, pomme-grenade. The pomegranate was known in early English as "apple of Grenada"—a term which today survives only in Hranada as its adopted fruit, reflected in fountains, and bollards. 

None of this would be unusual if you came from Orange.

Mirador de San Nicolas
This just may be Spain's biggest pizza oven.
Monastery of San Jeronimo
My reflexes? Or a street performer...
