Throwback to visiting Jardin Majorelle in Marrakech. <3
I’ve always noticed so many similarities between Morocco and Mexico when it comes to architecture, from the vibrant colors and tiles to the courtyards and beautiful use of arches. I imagine much of this can be traced back to Spanish colonialism and its Moorish influence.
For instance, Frida Kahlo’s Casa Azul and studio in CDMX immediately reminded me of so many places I saw in Morocco. Same for the Botanical Garden of Oaxaca - add to that the cactus galore and you’re immediately transported.
