Brief:

    The main character is riding in a taxi cab through the streets during morning rush hour. There is an excitement on his face that he can’t seem to wipe off. The cab pulls up to the airport, where life is bustling. He walks through security with his boarding pass in hand. It reads, “Boston to Malaga.” Next thing he knows, the plane is landing at Costa del Sol. The vacation has started.

    It is a magnificent drive to Marabella along the Costa del Sol. Upon arrival, he enjoys heaps of seafood and surfing in the crystal blue waters. Moments after the stop in Marabella, the rock of Gibraltar comes into view. It Is a massive cone of earth that juts out of the ground at a mouth-dropping 45-degree angle. People are in awe all around him as they gaze up to the point. It is truly an incredible sight. Next on the list, our traveler arrives at the town of Tarifa-A small town that was once part of the Moorish empire. There is fantastic middle eastern architecture with mosques dotted around the city. The view from the roof deck in the old town is unlike anything he’s seen before. 

    A short trip across the Strait of Gibraltar on a high-speed fairy leaves him in the city of Tangiers Morocco. He inhales the new culture, exploring the Madina Markets full of spices and treasures, and visiting the golden gates of the Dar el Makhzen palace. Seville is the next destination on his journey. As he arrives, he is greeted by the grand cathedral de Seville. It stands tall in the city skyline. Its brown walls surround the beautiful gold shrine inside. A short walk leads him to the Plaza de Espana, where arches surround him. The steeples rise high; the tiles are mesmerizing. It is an architectural beauty. On the final leg of the journey, he decides to head to Granada and stay in the Alhambra Fortress. As he arrives on the grounds of this fortress, he spots a beautiful place to lay down under a tree, looking up at the bright blue sky. Just as he is about to doze off, he is startled, awakened. With a mask over his face, he slumps over in his subway seat.
