In search of the perfect setting to showcase the flowers and bright colors of spring fashion 2010, we found Andalusia at Coral Mountain a fine complement, with its shadowy archways, intimate nooks, and grand gardens that represent the land of the flamenco dancer and Seville, Cordoba, and Granada. We expected to hear an aria from Bizet’s Carmen breaking through the whispering willows that surround the club in La Quinta.
