  • Africa’s largest wind farm (Tarfaya Wind Farm) is located in Southwestern Morocco, along the Atlantic coast. It began generating power in 2014 and is part of the plan for the country to generate 45% of its energy needs with renewable sources by 2020.

  • Morocco rests between the atlantic ocean and mediterranean sea in the north-western corner of Africa. The early inhabitants of what was to become Morocco were immigrants trying to escape the Saharan area as it was drying up and turning to desert. They fled to the Atlas Mountains and later to the coastal regions. Other migrants from the region joined them and created the roots of the Amazigh (Berber) culture. In an effort to combat the ever-encroaching Sahara desert, the Moroccan government plants thousands of acres of forests every year. Hardy trees like the Argan tree help to hold the fertile topsoil in place. Because of its geographic location, Morocco has become a collection of many different cultures. Emigrants from south of the Sahara, the far east, Spain, and France, as well as other European countries have all added their unique touches to Moroccan culture.

  • If you visit Madrid, you should definitely make a day trip to the nearby city in Spain, Toledo. Located on the banks of the Tagus in central Iberia, Toledo is known as the "Imperial City" because it was the main venue of the court of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor in Spain, and as the "City of the Three Cultures" for the cultural influences of Christians, Muslims, and Jews reflected in its history. It was the capital from 542 to 725 AD of the Visigothic kingdom, which followed the fall of the Roman Empire, and the location of historic events such as the Councils of Toledo. The city, seat of a powerful archdiocese for much of its history, has a Gothic Cathedral, the Catedral Primada de España ("The Primate Cathedral of Spain"), and a long history in the production of bladed weapons, which are now common souvenirs of the city.

  • On this day in 1963, Martin Luther King Jr gave his famous I have a dream speech at the March on Washington. While many gather at the MLK Jr. monument in DC, it’s important to remember those who aren’t here - the many men, women, and children who have lost their life due to our broken police system and a history of unaddressed racism. Dr. King spoke of his dream of freedom and equality - a raging battle we still endure today. Trayvon Martin, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, Eric Garner, and so many other victims all had dreams of their own. Dreams that will never be. We must each light a flame for those who have been murdered, in hopes that we could ignite real change and actual justice. Dr. King is often portrayed with a cheerful disposition, painted to look like everyone’s favorite civil rights hero of the 60s. But he wasn’t always loved, and even still many fail to heed his actual warnings - distorting his image in an effort to advance complacency therefore enabling white supremacy. Here are some of the lesser known MLK Jr. quotes. A riot is the language of the unheard. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. The time is always right to do what is right. The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter. What you make of these words today is entirely up to you. If you do nothing else, at least reflect on the entire message of Dr. King, who preached love and hope, yet opposed the foul toxicity of excess consumerism, greedy capitalists, and a perennial culture designed to promote systems of oppression and division. Today we march on in activism and passion, in hopes that one day we march in celebration and remembrance. #marchonwashington #blacklivesmatter #mlkjr

  • The Puerta del Sol (English: "Gate of the Sun") is a public square in Madrid, one of the best known and busiest places in the city. This is the centre of the radial network of Spanish roads. The square also contains the famous clock whose bells mark the traditional eating of the Twelve Grapes and the beginning of a new year.
