Dr. Mohamed Ali Al Bar was invited to participate & deliver a paper on Brain Death & Organ Transplantation :Islamic Perspective in Barcelona, Spain.
The mini-conference was one of many held about the Middle East. 
There were 4 speakers and enough time for lengthy discussions.
After delivering his paper, Dr. Albar found some time to visit   Cordoba, where he toured the  most beautiful Grand mosques in the world. Nobody is allowed to pray in the mosque which is half mosque and half church !!!
Later, Dr. Al Bar visited Seville. There, he toured The Alcazar Palace. The Cathedral beside it, was originally a mosque with it's minaret still preserved as the tower of the cathedral. In Granada he visited the
Alhambra Palace. He said that it was one of the most beautiful palaces and gardens in the
world. Though it represented only 30% of the original palace. It is a lesson for Muslims to see how rancours & disputes ended up in the disintegration of the great civilization.
