On July 23, Roy Bortolotto and Barbara Wilkins returned from a 16-day tour of the Iberian Peninsula and northwest Africa. In Spain they visited the Alhambra in Granada and a flamenco show in Seville.
In Portugal they went on a pilgrimage to Fatima and visited the capital city of Libson. In Morocco, the markets in Marrakesh and Fez were fascinating as was the bustling seaside city of Casablanca and the traditional Berber culture of the Atlas Mountains.
Although it was hot every day, the variety of local foods and handcrafts made the trip very worthwhile.
