Admire the rare beauty of Salamanaca Granada & the Alhambra palace, Cordoba and the Mezquita, Seville with the Cathedral & Alcázar; The beaches of the Costa del Sol, Costa de la Luz and Almería; the charming White Villages that dot the region; The sherry and Dancing Horses of the Sherry Triange, And don t forget Flamenco! For over 5000 years Morocco has inspired travelers with its colorful energy, history and dazzling combination of Arab, European and African influence. From vibrant and bustling Medinas to the sparse but breathtaking Sahara, the country packs a remarkable variety of adventures into its corner of North Africa. Kasbahs and mosques offer a glimpse of a more mystical time, while hip cafes and high-design riads reflect Moroccans modern cosmopolitan side.
