Barbary macaques, Rock's upper area, Gibraltar, United Kingdom


A local superstition states that if the apes ever leave, so will the British. I wanted to travel to Morocco by boat in order to experiment visually the continent change from Europa to Africa. Only on land travelling make the passenger really feel the distance and the cultural evolution all along the way. Since I had previously visited Sevilla, Malaga was for me an obvious starting point for a short Morocco trip. Then I would go to gibraltar, Tarifa and take the boat for Tanger, my first Morocco city. The trip lasted 3 weeks until I reach south of Atlas Mountain Range, just before the desert. The conclusion of my travel is that I could not recognize any Moroccan people anymore since I could realize that from north to south, and depending of the mountain side landscape, geography and people are totally different.
