Earlier this year, I stayed a month in Catalonia visiting several places. I have travelled to other areas before. I have not seen signs of tension between locals and Muslims in Catalonia. Some Moroccans are fair, some have dark complexion; since some Spaniards are dark, it is not easy to distinguish between the two groups, a factor favouring integration.

The Moroccan women who don’t wear the hijab tend to be in the workplace. Mid-afternoon is the time you see Moroccan women with hijabs picking up their children from school. I have spoken to immigrants from the Philippines, Latin America and Morocco. About the latter, you know where the man is from when they tell you their name. Fluent in Spanish, I know enough catalan to order from the catalan menu.

In Tunisia, I visited Sidi Bou Saïd, where a large number of the inhabitants are descendants of people who were in Spain until the Reconquista. 

Yes, I happen to know that Andalucía is in the south and Catalonia in the north-east.
