Morocco



It wasn't long before I was enjoying my first plate of Couscous



Immediately followed by my second plate of Couscous

The Rock



To get to Gibraltar you have to cross an airport runway.



Gibraltar has apes, these were spotted going through some trash on the east side of the rock.



At the southern tip of the rock you find this impressive mosque built by the king of Saudi Arabia.

One of the three



The Giralda in Seville is one of three remaining Almohad minarets in the world

Roman ruins of Itálica



These ruins just outside Sevilla include this great amphitheatre, one of the more interesting ones I've seen so far

Mesquita de Almonaster la Real





This simple, elegant, 10th century mosque tucked away in rural Andalucía (Spain) felt like the Muslim equivalent of the 4th century Christian churches I love so much.
