# Shifnal

Shifnal is a small market town in Shropshire.
Some writers have claimed that Shifnal was the inspiration for Market Blandings, a town that appears in several of P.G. Wodehouse's stories. That claim is disputed and several other candidates have been suggested. In any case, Shifnal certainly fits the description, a quiet and somewhat quaint place.

# Sparta

Sparta is the administrative capital of Laconia Prefecture, Greece.

## Understand

At the decree of King Otto of Greece, the present day city of Sparta was built in 1834 near the site of the original city in Ancient Greece. With its wide, tree lined boulevards, the city was designed to be a paragon for all Greek towns.
The modern town still reflects this original vision, and is a very pleasant and green city set before a backdrop of lush hills. The city is in the valley of Evrotas River, to the east of Mount Taygetos (210 m).

## Get in

# Sparta (Michigan)

Sparta is in Kent County, Michigan.

## Understand

Sparta is a small town northwest of Grand Rapids. It is just 10 miles up M-37 from the I-96 Alpine Ave exit. The town has many places to eat and shop. During the summer there are a number of different festivals to enjoy. There is also a concert in the park every Wednesday night through the summer.

## Eat

There are a number of great places to eat in Sparta. Although there are a few chain restaurants, there are a number of locally owned and unique places to eat. If you like Mexican food you should make sure to check out Downtown Trini and Margarita Joe's right downtown. Along with great food, they have an awesome mural on the wall to view during your visit. They also have a wall with names on it for people that have accepted the Taco Eating Challenge.
Angela's on the east end of downtown just posted on their sign that they have a new Italian chef. They have a wonderful outdoor area to eat and drink during the summer months.
There are several places to get pizza if that is your desire. There is B.C. Pizza on the far east end of town. There is Hungry Howies on the south end of State St. There is Maria's pizza down on State St across from Family Fare. There is Little Caesar's right next to Family Fare also.

## Sleep

Don't expect to find a hotel in Sparta. It is just not that big. But you will find some good hotels on the northwest side of Grand Rapids, including the Swan Inn on M-37 just north of the bulk of the businesses on Alpine.
# Spanish North Africa

Spanish North Africa consists of some peninsulas and islands along the coast of Morocco that are a part of Spain.

## Cities

* 35.888333-5.3155561 Ceuta (Arabic: سبتة (Sabtah), Berber: Sebta) – the dominant autonomous city
* 35.3-2.952 Melilla (Arabic: مليلية (Maliliyyah), Berber: ⵎⵔⵉⵜⵙ (Mřič)) – an eastern autonomous city

## Other destinations

The Plazas de soberanía (Sovereignty lands) are islands and coastal settlements administered by Spain.
* 35.2135-3.88951 Islas Alhucemas
* 35.183333-2.4333332 Islas Chafarinas
* 35.172581-4.3008033 Peñón de Vélez de la Gomera – a peninsula only populated by Spanish military
While the Canary Islands are located off the North African coast, they have been an integrated province of Spain since the Middle Ages, and are not usually considered part of Spanish North Africa.

## Understand

The Spanish Empire avoided claiming land in Africa for most of its history, as the Treaty of Tordesillas that was intended to divide the world outside Europe between the Spanish and Portuguese Empires gave Portugal the exclusive right to colonize the Old World.
In the 19th century, Spain annexed some territories on the Moroccan coast to battle Barbary pirates.
While most of Morocco was controlled by France, Mediterranean Morocco was a Spanish protectorate from 1912 until 1956.
The Spanish territories are de facto part of Spain and the European Union, though Morocco claims them. During the 21st century, African migrants have been entering Ceuta and Melilla as a gateway to Europe.

## Get in

Ceuta and Melilla are the most accessible territories of Spanish North Africa.
These territories are legally part of Spain and the Schengen Area. You need no special permit to enter on a ferry from Spain; passports are however checked on ferries to Spain.
Melilla Airport (MLN)

## Get around

While Ceuta and Melilla are easy to get around, there is no regular public transportation between the exclaves.
There does not seem to be any public transportation along the coast, so unless you have a car or go by taxi (long distance travel by taxi isn't unheard of in Morocco) you're in for a long detour. From Ceuta, you can take the ferry to Algeciras on the Spanish mainland, bus to Malaga and plane or ferry down to Melilla. Going via Spain you don't need to cross national borders which would entail waiting, and depending on your nationality getting a Moroccan visa and/or a double entry visa to the Schengen area.
Public transportation through Morocco probably takes more time (in addition to the border crossings); from Ceuta, travel by bus to Tetouan and onwards to Tangier. From there, fly or take the train (via Fez, where you possibly need to stay overnight) to Nador 10 km south of Melilla, and take the taxi for the final stretch.

## Talk

Spanish is the official and majority language. Moroccans speak Arabic or Berber languages, and might understand French.

## Buy

As this is a part of Spain, the currency is the euro.
