The whole south of Morocco is summarized in the historical, traditional and exotic sounding word "Ouarzazate". In Ouarzazate everything is calm, beautiful and fresh - the very image of the authentic south of Morocco, where time has stood still for centuries. The town has been located in three different places during its existence, two of them still inhabited today.
Gdynia is a Baltic Sea port city in northern Poland, forming part of the Tricity urban area with Gdańsk and Sopot. Its character is closely connected to the sea, with a large commercial harbor, marinas, beaches, and a waterfront city center. Unlike many Polish cities, Gdynia has a relatively modern urban fabric, with much of its central district shaped by interwar modernist architecture.
Mijas, perched on the hillside above the Costa del Sol, blends centuries of Andalusian tradition with views that stretch across the Mediterranean. The whitewashed buildings of Mijas Pueblo reflect sunlight from narrow cobbled streets that wind through small plazas, each with its own fountain, chapel, or overlook. The town’s layout still follows Moorish-era planning, and remnants of the old wall (La Muralla) offer shaded walks lined with native plants and panoramic views over the coast.
Marrakesh, a vibrant jewel in the heart of Morocco, is a city where ancient traditions blend seamlessly with modern allure. Known as the "Red City" for its rose-hued buildings and walls, Marrakesh offers a sensory experience unlike any other. The city’s medina, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a labyrinth of narrow alleyways, bustling souks, and hidden courtyards.
