Bowman gave a brief account of the fast trip taken in September via TWA along with 34 other tourists to southern Portugal, southern and middle Spain and Morocco in the northwest tip of Africa. He commented about the similarity of cultures of the Iberian Peninsula countries which seem "shut off," from the rest of Europe. He noted that after the Moors who had conquered Spain in the Bth Century were routed from that country by Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand in 1492, they financed Columbus' voyage which led to the discovery of America. Mrs. Bowman showed slides of the 1500 mile trip which started in Lisbon and took them to Seville, Spain, thence south to Algeciras, where they saw The Rock of Gibraltor which is owned by the British. There they ferried across the Straits of Gibraltor to Tangier. Morocco. Also visited was Rabat. Meknes and Fez. They returned to Tangiers and again ferried across the Straits and up the Costa del Sol (The Sun’s Coast) to Torremolinas through the Sierra Nevada Mountains to Granada, then Toledo and finally to Madrid where the tour ended and the flight home began. Interesting highlights of the tour in Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, which is likened to the seven Hills of Rome, were the mosiac sidewalks, tropical gardens, castles, cathedrals and palaces. The in fluence of the Moors has left its impact on this Christian country. In Seville, the tiled arc of the Plaza de Espana was seen This was built for the Spanish American Exposition of 1929. The plaza blends Moorish and Renaissance architecture sty les. Here too is the third largest cathedral in the world which has its organ in the center of the church and boasts 35 chapels and 85 altars Interesting to note

are the walled cities within cities in some areas of both Portugal and Spain. Outstanding in Granada is the beautiful Alhambra, a palace built by Moslem artisans —a marvel of marble columns, lacework, arches and stucco. It was here in 1829 American Washington Irving wrote his romantic "Tales of the Alhambra." In Madrid there are more than 2'/i million people, primarily Christian. Prado Museum which houses one of the world’s great collections of art is a tourist’s must. In this city many rare tapestries are found hanging in the Royal Palace. Tangier. Morocco, a city on a hill is considered a tourist attraction. The streets are narrow and donkeys arc used for many purposes. Farming is primitive hut it is said however, that it is gradually being modernized. Sheep, goats and cattle are tended by shepherds, who present a colorful picture. King Hassan rules Morocco from his Castle in Rabat. This beautiful building is hemmed in by rust colored wails. Beautiful palm lined streets surround the castle area. Meknes is a commercial center with vineyards and olive plantations. On the way from Meknes to Fez women were seen washing their clothes in streams. Fez is the oldest city in Morocco. Actually it is four cities, one of which is called Old Fez. Fez dates back to 8(X). It is the religious capital and also the cathedral capital of Morocco. The Palace of the King will be found here, as will mosques and other palaces. Old Fez it is approximated has 2 people per sq. foot. It has 300 mosques, 4 Christian churches and 36 Jewish synagogues. While in the Old Fez area several members of the tour party went to visit a rug factory They became lost and it took them two hours in this city, teeming with poeple who spoke no English, to be reunited with their fellow travelers. I his was accomplished only when a young native lad led them from this wailedjCity. through one of five gates. Mint tea with lots of sugar is reported to be the most popular drink in all of Morocco. Eucalyptus trees used for medicinal purposes land paper, cork and sugar cane are Morocco's principal export products.
