With its strong Moorish history, Andalucia is one of Spain’s most picturesque regions. Hilly landscape and fertile valleys dotted with charming villages are best explored on foot. The provincial capital, Seville, is home to a magnificent cathedral and many other grand structures from its long history. Ronda and Granada also bask in former glories, with the latter’s magnificent Alhambra Palace being the ultimate ‘jewel in the crown’. Just across the Straits of Gibraltar is another continent. Morocco beckons us with old medinas full of labyrinth streets, grand mosques and colourful bazaars. Fez and Marrakech have changed little since medieval times and still offer many surprises at each and every turn. Ruined citadels, ancient Roman remains, spa villages and majestic minarets all combine to make up the fabric of the intricate Moroccan landscape.

      Cathryn and I would like to commend our tour guide Atiqa and the driver Abdou.  To say they were excellent would not be sufficient praise.  They were an integral part to our enjoyment of this bus tour.  The accommodation was generally acceptable - but definitely only 3 star at best (which should be noted).  I felt our stay in Fes was a little too long (see below) but the overall balance was good.

      Go for it.  Once you are out of the cities Morocco is like being perpetually on a movie set for a biblical film.  Make sure you are aware that there is a possibility of 2 nights on the floor of a dormitory in the Berber Village.  Make sure you have a torch for the desert.  I found a head lamp worked very well, especially when using the squat toilet.
