Seeped in History and Culture

Why I am passionate about Spain, Portugal and Morocco

Each of the countries is seeped in layers of history and culture that you get to peel back as you explore. Spain, Portugal and Morocco have all undergone conquests by the Phoenicians, Romans as well as rule under Christian and Muslim empires.

You can sense this history all throughout, from the Roman ruins in Barcelona to the cuisine of Andalusia (Al Andalus) and the Algarve (Al-Gharb) where dishes like Cataplana and Paella can trace their origins back to muslim rule.

Even though each country has its own distinct identity, we love to see travelers see this diversity of landscapes, architecture, food and people as they explore the cultural melting pot that is Spain, Portugal and Morocco.

Spain

Historically, Spain has always been made up of different regions and kingdoms. From the Basque to Catalonia to Andalucia, each region has it’s own unique landscape, cuisine and accent.

This means that you can keep coming back to Spain every year, and still have something new to discover.
