What you seeA flight of wide sand-coloured steps narrowing as they rise to a horseshoe gate in a terracotta wall, with a glimpse of cypresses through the opening. Clay pots of red geraniums stand at the end of every step and green beds run along both sides.

What it meansAndalusian gardens are built on hillsides in terraces, and the steps between them are lined with pots so that every level is a garden of its own.

Where it worksWelcoming and upward-looking. For a stairwell, an entrance hall or a landing.
