We walked up into the rainforest with views over the city, sipped a delicious coconut and walked down through the colourful streets to the beach. On the way we passed the slum favellas where the masses of poor people live. On the beach were the skyscrapers with their multimillion dollar apartments.
A land of contrasts.
I do love Muslim architecture and design. The Moorish mosque in Cordoba is ver beautiful.
The history is immense too. When Isabella kicked the Muslims out they built a cathedral in the middle of it! So weird.
The stupidity of religion, conflict and division; the beauty of design, decoration and art.
What a strange world we live in.
