Jaén's countryside has hundreds of thousands of wild plants that produce capers, which are processed and eaten as pickles. These plants possess natural defenses consisting of protuberances at the axils of the branches where spikes grow. You don't notice them when you insert your hand into the plant, but rather when you pull out. That is, the spikes are bent at an angle so that when you insert your hand, they face in the direction of the movement, and when you pull it out, you find the spikes facing away from you. That's just how nature is.
