Rhodes, location of one of the Seven Wonders of the World in classical times.

There, shining in the sunrise, larger than they had seen him before, shaking his mane (for it had apparently grown again) stood Aslan himself.

Samarkand, Uzbekistan, in an area called Transoxiana, one of the oldest cities in Central Asia, and one of the cities along the Old Silk Road. It was invaded by Alexander the Great in 323 BC and also by Genghis Khan's Mongols in 1220 CE.

Austria, a country in Central Europe that occasionally gets confused with Australia (to the point where — I just confirmed this online — you can buy souvenir signs, T-shirts, mugs etc. with the motto "NO KANGAROOS IN AUSTRIA" Eyebrow )

Ashgabat, the capital of Turkmenistan, one of those mysterious & little known Central Asian countries/

Ah, but would you be able to buy such merchandise in Austria, itself? At a ski resort, perhaps? LOL

I can't guarantee this, having never been to Austria, but going by what I've seen online, souvenir shops in Austria do sell them! Grin

Valencia, a city and province on the eastern coast of Spain. (It's where paella originated, but surprisingly enough — as I learned from looking this up — Valencia oranges didn't come from there, but from America.)

Asturias, Spain, a Northwestern province with a long Spanish history of a fightback against the Moorish invasion of that area in 711 AD, noted traditionally, when the heir to the Spanish throne is usually called the Prince or Princess of Asturias. 

@Courtenay: Valencia oranges didn't come from there, but from America. 

But Spain has a long history of colonisation in America, not only in South America, where the Spaniards dominated much of that continent, except for Brazil, Surinam, Guyana, & the French Guiana, but also in Central America, as well as in the Caribbean. California, New Mexico, Texas and Florida, in USA, also were once Spanish colonies. I don't quite know how extensive the Spanish influence extended in USA's 52 states.
