on what's going on in the stories industry, instead of being discussed across the continent, dw news, africa every friday on the w. um, sometimes it's hard to find what you're looking for. but we've got something for you. the, the mediterranean was once a major crossroads at the heart of the ancient. today it has become a barrier separating europe from africa. is there anything left of a past one share, and what do today's distinct cultures have in common? journalist xena las rog and joe far abdul karim, travel the coast of the mediterranean, in search of answers. you see yourself as a to be in june and responsibilities. how can you

help me to join us to get to know the people and their dreams mediterranean during the it's been in chicago and i've been staying in southern spring to be precise in under lucy evans. and my luck, i'm going to be visiting the provinces of malika and coronado. i'm where i'm sitting right now. it's simply beautiful. i'm missing. that's because we're on the mediterranean, it's just on the north side of the sea, this time, the game. and here this region is stooped in history and culture, which is on the question. so i'm really looking forward to the next few days.

the, the coastline of under the sea extends almost a 1000 kilometers. most of it along the mediterranean. i'm going to the under lucy and fishing village of luckily that the modem for a dance state under lucy is the birthplace of flamenco and denser and the bed below. so it's more of it's big stars and i'm getting a private show the . 6 the

. 6 disorder very nice, very, very, very impressive. what makes you dense with this big, big passion so that people go to the t. uh, we used to be kind of our lives come on. we may have nice, i mean, going to way chris, chris. different because you can dance very happy also on your side, if i want to learn to steps, you only to step 6, the very systems what, what, what are the steps that i can do? so the reason is is that the one that you mentioned before? so we do one with the food 3 times with the

day i take something and put it in my pocket. yeah. use taking over the yeah, i do. it's like, you know, both sides talk sorry. where you go with a lot of feeling and i still don't have to see the, the main goal isn't just the dance, but also the style of music with singing and different types of musical instruments . 2 what's this, especially something he said the right way to express what the deep sea consulting people are. nice many, many cuter, doing a fusion is if there's something going on with, you know,

i live the, i'm leaving the village and the cost. now, by journeys taking the inland the autonomy community of under lucio has always served as a bridge to the airport. the gun at the design of this renada is one of the most beautiful cities here. and i never see how many people come here because it's a melting pot of different cultures to. and of course, you'll already have spotted it behind me because of the, of the more than 7 centuries of islamic. and i don't know, c, a f, 1st and foremost shape the regents architecture, the fortress of alhambra, a world cultural heritage side, rises up. over the former muslin bastion of coronado, the northward sultans built the palace complex over a period of more than 200 years. the

stunning ceiling paintings and mosaics domes, carpet from wood expensive courtyards and back in the present marble fountains showcase the peak of islamic craftsmanship. is india to live in holes? this is here for the contest to all the other. now, in the course of the lines today, it's probably the most famous part of the alhambra was bought this book and didn't get always its name to these 12 lines spouting modern and adorning a fountain. that's one of the best known examples of muslim sculpture was. social events and parties were held in this courtyard funds that sounded even start. you're finding the potty stuff. i'm enjoying my scroll through the gardens at the alhambra. it's just wonderful to be walking in the shade of the trees surrounded by frequent flowers

and close to fountains or irrigation channels. the opposite the alhambra is the vibrant neighborhood of by scene, which became important under the arabic rule. starting in the 11th century. and this law mc heritage, that still evidence to this day, the time meeting in like a lot of my toyota and rochester who works for the cultural foundation from dusty on a auto autopay which foster's cooperation between europe and the arabic speaking. or how does the culture here differ to other european countries? i was make this area space show you that we had a more culture element from the hour of culture, from the specially from the mac, ruby culture, the how much the culture is. that greased young is

a using for was with a grand as a some more decor throughout the more diversity use historical safety. is it still still? i mean, we keep many, many elements islamic rule. i mean, ideally in peninsula ended in the year 1492 apart from the architectural style. this has also left indelible marks on everyday life. we pop into an empty house on see a region them are all have a very close relationship in many fields course. well, we have many full sion of new seek a production of seen in mind, but the we made together in the, in this social field, a field you can find many, many association we used to say about that. we have the biggest faculty of pharmacy or from a rock because in our faculty of pharmacy, we have almost 500 my work in studying there. when i, when i listen to you,

you say like, who has very much culture or different religion living here different. i think it a group living here, but you also have challenges. you know, we also have tons of people saying we don't want, i think the side of the mediterranean. yeah. but i see my around not gonna raise the cd, which has been able to minus diversity better than others. weiss that people yes you that diversity is good. i mean it's a heavy thought. we have to be care and is good. enjoy living in place is one you can see buildings that are wonderful and the counseling another kasha, another people who, br, office and other regions. and you've seen that dispute on these wonderful, and you want to believe that there you is that uh, you know, thinking about that other on that this is such a other offer to you, the employees whose conversation has highlighted for me the importance of common understanding between arrows and european cultural spears. with this in mind,

i leave coronado for l if e to a town in the province of many of the spaniards called this region mazda, plastic, or c of plastic. why? because it's dominated by greenhouse, as, as far as the, i can see the, these shanty towns are home to many african migrants. it stopped at some 90000 people work in the under lucy and fruit and vegetable industry. a 3rd of them, foreigners, moroccans being the largest group among many, it's an assignment if you don't find it a one of the largest food producing areas in europe and it also that, and vegetables likes a community like planting and tomatoes are export it from here to the rest of the consummate or the region is facing a huge challenge house for them with water scarcity. the advantage i'm about to meet with i certainly it's who says sustainable practices are now imperative. now how to sign it. so it's very gone as an organic farmer i'm pitching into health cfo

. do i put a way to the case, although as if it's sticking, maybe you need to untie another loop of the why are we doing this now? it the think literally to maintain the cycle and i guess what the shape ada plants and give them back to the ground through the excrement they have on this activates the soil. that's because we cutting these any chemical fertilizers here. and again, it's good to hear everything realized on the life of the soil. been on a plantation that uses chemical fertilizer. nothing depends on the life of the soil on alpha, the must be live in this, for example, has a reddish color. that means it has seeds and it's a bit spice the. it's generally if you wait a little bit and see the big let's let me go and see if we knew or not this one. it's to spice. think speak. i love to think think i saw it since it's a that's,

that's hard for me. the number of organic farmers has grown over the last decade from around 500 to 15. 1000 farmers like for source are less concerned with quantity and more with the quality of the vegetables which flourish. thanks to the animals. it's all gonna come a little. just give this a shake like that. we have to call the shape of a. she's called a what a living. her name is why that will fix it. take it like this. and now he, you model with, let's go to the other facility that you need to go live it to them. then you follow you go, that'll period for that. ok, i think she doesn't trust me. you can help me. you know, open the, my words not done yet. the tomatoes have already been harvested because the shape

can't climb the dried out plants need to be pulled down onto the ground to surface animal feet. why is sustainability so important for you to see, to get of so if this is going to work in the future, if this isn't just about an increasing money now, then it ends when you plan things long term because of that and then you do it that way simply, i got, it has to be sustainable. if water is becoming a guess a, the solution accommodate to carry on as usual and build more plantations. so that's what this solution would be for the sake of balance, and perhaps to produce less, but with better quality, minute for the me. but the solution would be to create green car doors and re far as the mountains. you're not going to expand that forest little by little and attract more rainbow, you don't mind bundle myself. what if that's part of the you this has always been a vegetable growing region. most businesses are small family businesses.

they begin, you'll have a, i've been helping my dad since i was small, like wait a little bit. i remember any of us saying the opening credits of the lunch time, john wayne movie listed as it started and we'd be off to the greenhouse here next season. i'll start working here to the from and he'll return to the mediterranean, the past and beautiful beaches and small coats. demonica the port city lights on the southern spanish cost of those. so the, it's home to almost 600000 people public because it was born in mileage on the

more than 200 works by the famous painter or on display at the move sale because of the, the cost of the sun or sunshine coast is so called because the region gets more than $300.00 days of sunshine a year. this attracts millions of tourists from all over the world of many of them from germany, and written the those who can afford to snap up their own 4 walls. here. is that bona i find something i like to have a mind calm, house, phone. then i found my dream house here. this one here image month. i'm doing a 360 degree. turn the home. why us? because the house can do

a 2 when he point me time to meet the 2 architects responsible for designing it. i don't have the wrong one. hello carlos. i'm so excited to know more about this house because it looks amazing. i know i want to know more how it functions. all right. architects classic. carlos, moya attends the and big trunk. we built their 1st sun house in 2018. it's designed to rotate in alignment with the path of the sun throughout the day. each rotation lasts 15 minutes and it's barely noticeable. what's the vision behind this house? in general, dallas may need to be able to create the glass close up a face of the house. you know, the you to the side where you every time unable to seat or to place or to focus. no, this is the point. how are the reactions so far when people come and see it? um, i don't know what, what was your reaction when you know my reaction when i really 1st infinity. i felt

like there are no borders. i felt like i'm still outside, but somehow i'm inside and the, the good feeling that i had is outside. it's very hot and i came in and you have a very um, very good feeling the the jump this cold calling i would have gone to the house. so now i've got control of the entire house. for sure. i think it's mega cool. i really like it via because sometimes you need sun and the light is on what you don't want to move to the what do you do to being what's left? so the press to start and determine where the sun is at the moment and inside this disc is either what is on the is the steep money also is we can see the sun's there . the see. and this is the coordination system. fuel suspend, nice thing. we saw, i'd like to go in this direction now to the store and select the speed and, and try the image for it. and now it's rotating. when did split to see the,

the 250 square meter house is energy efficient and the garden doesn't use any water . the price tag in the region of $650000.00 bureaus. this is the 63. ok, the cycling. so this one is a fixed and this is fixed, this one fixed, and this is the label. ok. maybe it's just the joining this high stuff. yes. to test. that means this one stay here. and this ring here is moving closer and closer . nea, nea. uh now you can see a rotating now as the house most the way its news. i would like to know what exactly sustainable old the we have to prepare the federal system for a call for heating, fraud, etc. uh our i'll work kind of in feeling is not even the drive you need it, but you have the flu. yeah, that's a yeah, isn't fully in g charel. if you don't,

obviously it's quite difficult to sell the property. but for the next project we want that swimming pool or so the, the next stop on our mediterranean journey is the southern most tip of spain. located on the street of gibraltar is 35, the nearest point to africa. the historic town center isn't far from the port. the old whitewash townsend have their own unique chart. that effect is on the cost audio for cost of light, a. it's a magnet for kite and wind surfers here where the mediterranean meets the atlantic . when conditions are ideal, i've always wanted to learn to search, and we are better to do it than here. i'm meeting christine, so i called sky from germany. she runs a service school in $35.00. i don't know. apparently this is

a place to learn windsurfing holding on windsurfing too much super great. my right . well, you're absolutely right. right. and have you ever with the service before? no, no. today is an ideal day because there isn't too much weight on line today. we have poignant a i which means 7, the wind coming in from the slip and it's not very strong really in the days which is grading or less than the cause for beginners. hang on to and for beginners. exactly. it'll get stronger towards the afternoon and then we'll have a good thermal wind in that's a bit better for the professionals. last is on. we also quite often have the van paid for that. that's the wind blowing from anyone. they said this is really, really strong. the today, today's rate for you know, my surf instructor came to the sunny coast. i deal a few years ago, turning her back on colder northern european climes. and when you stand on the board, you've got 2 sides. a side where the wind is coming from and the side where the wind is blowing away to pull it up,

you always get on the side where the sale is the other side. so i'm getting on from here, and then i need to adopt the basic position from the basic position. i now need to check the front and back. the nice balance out the weights to see you have to control the weight and not the other way around. sure, sure, i've got the weights under control of that now. not sure if this is going to work, although in the water, i'm in my element and i'm a good swimmer. i've been swimming regularly since childhood. the

. i'm pretty athletic news, but that's really was really hard. it was really fun. the a great experience. i normally a big tucker, but right now i'm speech with. it was great possible this on. as i told that if i isn't far from morocco, in fact, it's just 14 kilometers away. over the mediterranean the you're doing, you can get your way. thank you. the view at the north african side of the mediterranean is the vocation of jose, luis, that he's a photographer with a primary theme, the lives of people and the see the colors could actually see what i try to measure them. shit, your straight of triple to it. is on the one hand magical because we've got visual

youtube whole landscape. this please do content and the mirror at each on that. but it's also a place of movement in which a lot of movement. and then when you call in the movement of the, to winning all their point in the pony and take one thing and then live on, take the titles into the strong current. most indeed, immigrants coming here to this go tourist, going down the juna and other fish that come to the mediterranean. so as long as i knew it's a place where a movement is concentrated on. what do you mean to? the migration is a dominant seam and a for sale. we started out of work as well as the conditions people from europe and north africa have to work into survive with these pictures, the photographer gives these people a face. the it's what does this photo? it's actually like,

why do you see the speed but the patrolling the straight of your bolt, the monitoring migration of the and traffic the somebody and, but i can throw the traffic. if you can decide, you want to have control or no control, those reports goes and quintal. i'm against migration control, as of course, you know, because controls mean death for them. i know they look for speculation. who's come, what it costs, you know, so much money just to make it to you for that. and so you can't lose that money if you don't find a job. and so for that and that wasn't any visa controls before. now the problem with leisurely says, you can't just go back and know for the best people in europe. some people in europe say enough migration, enough for refugees. we don't want people to come from africa to spain, to a tele, to germany. what do you say? nissan, amelia, for your foot on the island, my family came to europe to clean toilets and do the hard work that the germans french will switch. didn't want to do 100 minus and ok. young. it was the same kind

of immigration that's happening here today for me. so no kidding. i'm not saying they shouldn't be any borders between people don't feel for that particular thing. it's like imposing borders on the wind, and i know it's not going to go away from the data. it's a wind knows no boundaries as of into that shouldn't be any boundaries or borders, but people either from i know, particularly and then mike raising out of necessity and told me that i thought, you know, i from instead of pushing of all my mediterranean journey. so far my visit to under lucio has given me the strongest sense of the close cultural and economic links between europe and africa, the front on the losing the interview. and then lucio was very intense and concerned. but it's really, really interesting from a culture point of view. and the people are very emotional, very warm combination with the see exception for sound experience hospital stay with me. intensive not just in my memory, but also in my heart on via the live initial cost is i haven't had

the the

mystery of the stone giant artworks that still captivate peace. and today the thousands of years ago the but why and what did they reveal about the people who made the in 15 minutes on the w. father heard is not all fun and games.
