This is Andalusia, in southern Spain. Midway up the mountain is the village of Mijas. The walls of the buildings were whitewashed in order to fend off the powerful rays of the sun, making it one of Andalusian's traditional "white villages." During the 1960's the walls were whitewashed with lime in order to protect the city from the harsh sunlight and disease, as well as to attract tourists. The whole town highlights the beauty of the white walls by cleaning them daily and growing colorful flowers. Due to these efforts, Mijas is now visited by tourists from around the world seeking to enjoy this spectacular "white village."

The capital of Tonga, which is the only kingdom in the South Pacific is Nuku'alofa. During the 17th century in the Age of Discovery, Tonga was visited by a number of European explorers and missionaries. The people of Tonga extended a warm welcome to them, and the country became known as the "friendly islands." Today, almost all people in Tonga are Christians. In the 19th century, even though the islands of the South Pacific were colonized by the Great Powers of Europe, Tonga manage to retain its independence. Nuku'alofa means "abode of love" in Tongan and is home to approximately 35,000 people.
