The World from Several Rooftops

SNAPSHOTS FROM AN INTRODUCTORY VISIT TO SPAIN AND MOROCCO

Seville B&B rooftop

There’s something about rooftops, where you can look out over the city and see it anew. Currently I’m seeing actual new cities (wonderful old cities new to me) on a trip to Spain & Morocco. The above came with a view of the cathedral shining benevolently upon us all.

Inside Rabat’s Medina

Later, in the narrow alleyways of Rabat’s centuries-old Medina, people went about their days. To the visitor, life doesn’t seem easy here . . .

but from the rooftop of our hotel in the center of the Medina one could only see beauty.

Rooftop of Olala B&B, Marrakech

While the rooftop of our B&B, a few dozen steps above, was calm and lovely as the muezzin intoned the call to prayer.

Maybe rooftops are just their own call to peace and serenity.

  1. Fab photos, Fran. (And doesn’t that have a nice ring?) Great view you had of St Sebastian in Seville. I had a Spanish friend whose mother lived very close to it.
    All in all, looks like a wonderful adventure. You continue to be an inspiration! Love, Bob
