Melilla: The Door to Africa
Walls Centennial, While strolling through the streets of the city, bustling and noisy, could not help associating everything I saw with the comments that years ago I had made my father and I suddenly realized I was in front of the beautiful century-old walls its Citadel. There my father spent many Sunday afternoons with his friends.
When I finished shopping I decided that would be a good time to approach the hotel to leave all packages carried. I could not resist the temptation to visit some synagogues and temples in the city before the end of the day. I loved the synagogues. I’ve never seen any and Melilla are neither more nor less than ten. The one I liked was the Zoruah Or. But also enjoy the visit to the Sacred Heart Church, neo-Romanesque style and I was fascinated with the Indian Oratory.
Mount Gurugú When I finished this trip I went to Mount Gurugu. From there you can see all the splendor and beauty of the city that has preserved the important legacies that Phoenicians, Romans, Vandals, Byzantines and Arabs left in the city. In addition to the 900 Modernist and Art Deco buildings. He started the evening was going to be the prelude to a wonderful night in Melilla.
The day-night If Melilla is beautiful at night becomes a constant contrast of colored lights. In the summertime, when I went, the city offers fun for all ages. From nightclubs in which to dance until late at night, local salsa and varied rhythms, and even in the quietest rooms to enjoy the warm August nights.
Together we walked back to the hotel thinking of the sea and started humming the famous theme of jazz singer George Beson, The Sea. The day had been intense the, smells, tastes, and memories. Those memories had mixed with my experiences and now I had enough baggage to transfer you to my father all the emotions and the feelings I had. Now the challenge would be persuaded to spend some days together in this fascinating city.
