Roots
Tetouan / July 2022

         Due to my Andalusian origin, Muslim culture has had a deep impact on the construction of my identity. From 711 to 1492, Muslims spread throughout the iberic peninsula, leaving behind a diverse biological and cultural heritage to the future Spanish society. From my own experience, vestiges of Muslim culture are to be found in Spanish cuisine, architecture, music, and even our own language.          In July 2022, I was invited to Tetouan by a Moroccan friend of mine called Adil. Visiting his hometown left a deep impression on me - despite there being linguistic/cultural barriers, part of me feel identified with the bustling city, its humble people, and their heartwarming latin hospitality.
