Worth wandering around as the gardens and views are very nice a bit like my own garden at home.

Nice to visit if you continue the walk around this area. You cannot miss the Mosque which is named after the Andalusian saint Ahmed El-Mursi Abul-Abbas, who is highly revered in the region. The mosque is known for its stunning architecture, blending Islamic and Andalusian styles, and its towering minarets.

We spent time just off the Square where there are lots of coffee shops, alley ways and just time to sit and watch the crowds.
