Consequently, the lands dedicated to the garden and orchard received special attention.

He will do so in his poem, La Custodia, where he establishes two wordplays related to spring. (4) The first with the expression &#8220;blooming like an Easter,&#8221; which refers to the Resurrection Easter feast, a festivity that, as befits spring, is also known as &#8220;Flowery Easter.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Bellesguard is joyful, green, and blooming,<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">blooming like an Easter, green as April,<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">for knights and ladies, virgins and children.&#8221;<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second wordplay is with the name of <a href=\"https:\/\/bellesguardgaudi.com\/ca\/margarida-de-prades\/\">Margarita de Prades<\/a>, King Mart\u00ed&#8217;s second wife and owner of the palace after her husband&#8217;s death.
