i'm a said the right way to express how acute, all the influence from there at avi people that gipsy catholic angel knows many mean acute you're doing a future. is it? the fleming goes on with, you know, alive. i'm leaving the village and the coast. now my journey is taking me inland. the autonomous community of under lucia has always served as a bridge to the arab world. canada is that a she renada is one of the most beautiful cities here in under lucille mentioned. many people come here because it's a melting pot of different cultures to and of course not, you'll already spotted it behind me just because of the all hombre more than 7 centuries of islamic ruling under lucille at 1st and foremost shaped the regions architecture. the fortress of alhambra, a world cultural heritage,

sight rises up over the former muslim bastion of grenada. the nostril sultans built the palace complex over a period of more than 200 years. stunning sealing paintings and mosaics domes carved from wood, expansive courtyards and magnificent marble fountains showcase the peak of islam at craftsmanship. isn't yet to live in hoff that the sea of all the be conscious to ought to add more. now, in the court of the lines, it's probably the most famous part of the alhambra 12 vasa spoken, done. it owes its name to these 12 lines spouting water and adorning a fountain that's one of the best known examples of muslims. culture was gleaming with social events. and parties were held in this courtyard funds, us italian even start. you find in the parties stuff. mm.

mm. i'm enjoying my stroll through the gardens of the alhambra. ah, it's just wonderful to be walking in the shade of the trees surrounded by fragrant flowers and close to fountains or irrigation channels. ah. opposite the alhambra is the vibrant neighbourhood of all by seen, which became important under the arab rule. starting in the 11th century. in this law mich heritage, that still evident to this day i'm meeting in my collado matter. i had old roger who works for the cultural foundation from dorothy on iraq, adobe, which foster's cooperation between europe and the arabic speaking world. or how

does the culture here differ to other european countries or what make these area especially is that we have more culture element from there are of culture from the especially from the mac ruby culture, the homicide culture is that christi young is a, you seem fuqua's grandmother a some warranty called throughout the i'm willing to really use historical city. is it still is still, i mean we keep many, many elements islamic rule on the i, darian peninsula ended in the year, 1492 apart from the architectural style. this has also left indelible marks on everyday life. we pop into an arab tea house. on they'll see a region, i'm my raw ha, very close relationally, many feel called ro. we have many fusion of new seeker production of cinema that we made together in the, in this social feel feel you can find many,

many association we used to say about that. we have the biggest faculty of pharmacy, of my rock because in our faculty of pharmacy, we have almost 500 my rock in the study in there. when i, when i listen to you, you say like, well that's very much culture, different religion living here different. i think it a group living here are you also have challenges, you know, your sub challenges. people saying we don't one of the mediterranean, but i think i'm not grandmother this city which has been able to monitor diversity better than others. why that people he us you that diversity is good. i mean is a heritage will have to be current and is good if you are leaving in places where you can see buildings that are wonderful and that counseling another culture, another people who are a br office on other religions. and you think that this good and he's wonderful and you want to leave that there you are thinking about the other and it this is that

the other oh for to you? ah, from that one this conversation has highlighted for me the importance of common understanding between arab and european cultural spheres. with, with this in mind, i leave grenada for l. if he done a town in the province of armenia, the spaniards call this region model. they plastic or, or c of plastic. why? because it's dominated by greenhouse, as, as far as the i can see. with these shanty towns are home to many african migrants. it's thought that some 90000 people work in the on to lucy and fruit and vegetable industry. a 3rd of them, foreigners, moroccans being the largest group among the minutes in ela, i'm in l. a heathen and had a one of the largest food producing areas in europe. here i was fat and vegetables like so keeney eggplant and tomatoes are exported from here to the rest of the

continent. or the region is facing a huge challenge. household, water scarcity of any come about to meet with historically, it's how he says sustainable practices are now imperative. now healthy site is suicide in gone is an organic farmer i'm pitching into health and thought i for gay way like his although even sticking, maybe you need to untie another loop. why are we doing this? no, it's what i think, you know, they to maintain the cycle. when it gets a little more sheep eggplant and give them back to the ground through the excrement, they activate the soil. that's because we can't need any chemical fertilizers. he gives you everything relies on the life of the soil on a plantation that uses chemical fertilizer. nothing depends on the life of the soil . on alpha, the earth must be alive. this, for example, has a reddish color. me, it has seeds and it's a bit spicy. it's generally if you wait it,

it'll burn. see that beka mckinney, i'm going to see if or new or not this one. it's to spicy bigger. no. oh can, can bigger thought it's hot and the number of organic farmers has grown over the last decade from around 50215000 is gonna be able to be farmers like high schools are less concerned with quantity and more with the quality of the vegetables which flourish, thanks to the animals. if we're gonna come a little, just give this a shake like that. hello. we haven't called the sheep over. she's called quite a little bit. her name is guadalupe. take take it like this, the now he you. well, let's go to want them to let you know you need to go over to them, then she'll follow you got that. okay. well, i called and i think she doesn't trust me. you can

help me. you know open my work's not done yet. the tomatoes have already been harvested and because these sheep can't climb the dried out, plants need to be pulled down on to the ground to serve as animal feed. why is sustainability so important for you? but if you get a say, if this is going to work in the future, if this isn't just about any quick money, then it ends when you plan things long term. and then you do it that way simply, i guess it has to be sustainable. if water is becoming scarcer, the solution can't be to carry on as usual, and build more plantations. this solution would be to stay in balance and perhaps to produce less, but with better quality men of the me. but the solution would be to create green corridors and reforest the mountain, not to expand the forests, little by little,

and attract more rank boyd omen bundle. let myself with a 1000. but again, i tell you this has always been a vegetable growing region. most businesses are small family businesses. they begin jojo, i've been helping my dad since i was small, like little guy, remember any of his say the opening credits of the lunch time. john wayne movie led them as it started and we'd be off to the greenhouse. next season i'll start working here. ah. i returned to the mediterranean, past beautiful beaches and small coals. demonica. ah, the port city lies on the southern spanish costa those sort.

ah! it's home to almost 600000 people. pablo picasso was born in malaga. ah more than 200 works by the famous painter are on display at the maceo picasso. ah! the cost of that assault 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. many of them from germany and britain, those who can afforded snap up their own 4 walls here in istic bona. i find

something i like have in mind come house get funding. i found my dream house. yeah . this one here image, man, i'm doing a 360 degree turn the whole why us? because the house can do a 2 when he point me time to meet the 2 architects responsible for designing it. hello pazzano and hello carlos. i'm so excited to know more about this house because it looks amazing and now i want to know more how it functions. alrighty. good architect, jose carlos moya. ident, via and vet hong kuwait. built their 1st son 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 towns mainly to be able to create the glass for saw a face of the house in all the you to the site where you every time out able to see

or to play. so to focus know, this is the point i, the reaction so far when people come and see it, i don't know what, what was your action when you, when i, when i really felt infinity, i felt like, i don't know, warders, i felt like i'm still outside but somehow i'm inside and the good feeling i had had is outside. it's very hot and i came in and you have a very, very good feeling that yep, this, hopefully it has gone to the house. so now i've got control of the entire house in for sure. i think it's mega cool. i really like it via. sometimes you need sun life as oh no, you don't want to move. the what do you do to vein? was most of the rest to start and determine where the sun is at the moment and, and try to still get either what is on is the seat money also is be configured

audio funds. they're the see. and this is the coordination system, fills this and i say besides, i'd like to go in this direction now that we don't select the speed and chinese food and now with rotating with the 250 square meter house is energy efficient. and the garden doesn't use any water. the price tag in the region of 650000 euros. this is a fixed rate. okay. the cycle, this one in the face, this is pick this one. and this is the label. ok, i believe is the join. the size fiesta test, that means this wednesday here, just it. and this ring here is moving closer and closer near, near. ah, now you can see a rotating edna the house most the way it moves. i would like to know what exactly sustainable all the we have to prepare the benefit them for eco,

for heating, fraud, et cetera. ah, a law i'll war, current feeling is god. even in july, you admitted why you have the pool. yeah. that sab. yeah, it is a pool in g charel. if you don't, obviously will. it's quite difficult to sell the property. but for the next project we won't have swimming pool. so the next up on our mediterranean journey is the southernmost tip of spain. located on the street of gibraltar, his study for the nearest point to africa. ah, the historic town center isn't far from the port. the old white washed houses have their own unique charm. that effect is on the costa duluth or coast of light. 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 serve. and where better to do it than here. i meeting christine sikowski from germany. she runs a surf school in 35. hello. apparently this is a place to learn windsurfing home and on windsurfing to my super my right. well, you're absolutely right. great. and have you ever when surf the for her? no. today's an ideal day because there isn't too much when line to day. we have plenty anti which means that the wind coming in from the air and it's not very strong really in the day which is grading or less than the course for beginners or i'm for beginners the fact late it'll get stronger towards the afternoon. then we'll have a good thermal wind and that's a bit better for the professionals. as we also, i'd often hasta levant a that's the wind blowing from any lenders, and it's really, really strong hired today. today's great for you for dish. now,

my surf instructor came to the sunny costa duluth a few years ago, turning her back on colder northern european climes. and when you stand on the board, you've got 2 sides aside 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 isn't. okay, yeah, as i like, so i'm getting on from here and then i need to adopt the basic position and the basic position i now me to check the front and back. the nice balance out the waves . you see rank one, you have to control the waves enough the other way round. turn. sure, sure. i've got the waves under control of holland. i'm not sure if this is gonna work. although in the water, i'm in my element. i'm a good swimmer. i've been swimming regularly since childhood

with law. oh, i'm pretty athletic but that's really was really hard. i was really fun though. oh, a great experience. i normally a big talker, but right now i'm speechless. it was great talk lois honda, as i told them that if i isn't far from morocco, in fact, it's just 14 kilometers away. over the mediterranean olives. yes it is. i know you're doing everything good. you're welcome. thank you. the view of the north african side of the mediterranean is the vocation of jose

luis to ralph. he's a photographer with a primary theme, the lives of people, and the see, ah lester. actually she would, i'll try to missile shit. oh, this straight at deborah alta is on the one hand, magically because we've got this beautiful landscaping stairs these 2 continents that mirror each other. i mean, but it's also a place of movement and what a lot of movement. and it will be called the movement of the 2 windows icon in the pony and a lamp, and the love antennae. the tie in the strong currents rush and the immigrants come in here to reach the tourists going there. the juna and other fish that come to the mediterranean to spawn rancho. it's a place where movement is concentrated on monumental. a migration is a dominant seam and jose luis dorado work. as well as the conditions people from europe and north africa have to work in to survive with his pictures. the photographer gives these people

a face. mm hm. what is this boat inequality, eskoville speed bachelor there patrolling the strait of gibraltar? there monitoring, migration and traffic. it's on been broken through all the traffic if you can decide you want to have control or no control of your voice gotten control. i'm against migration controls, of course. yeah, because controls, it will mean death. my northern workforce speculation always come which it cost us . so much money just to make it here. that is, you can't lose that money if you don't find a job. and so with that an unfair weren't any visa controls before. now the problem with these is you can't just go back up, whatever people are in europe. some people in europe say enough migration, enough refugees. we don't want people to come from africa to spain, to italy,

to germany. what do you say nath emilia for your foot on old opa allen? my family came to europe to clean toilets and do the hard work that the germans, french or swiss didn't want to do on my national guard. young us. it was the same kind of immigration that's happening here today. we thought nobody or nothing. there shouldn't be any borders between people of young calipers killer and like it's like imposing borders on the wind. my nerves not in ago, from data, as the wind knows no boundaries, ash, al rental. there shouldn't be any boundaries or borders for people either from my north, particularly if they're migrating out of necessity. antonio, antonio neu frontenac was unit of all my mediterranean journey. so far, my visit to under lucia has given the strongest sense of the close cultural and economic links between europe and africa. and on the losing the intensive and the loose here was very intense fans. cassandra, it's really,
