    No, it does not. Showing a garden does not make it Moorish.

    The author himself has said several times that Dorne is influenced by Iberia during it's Roman and Medieval era.

    The second pic that you chose to leave out is based on the description of Sunspear in the books. And yes it does look Moorish.

    Maybe a Spaniard who spends his time posting only blonde Spaniards on a forum knows better about GOT than the author himself.

    I left out the two pictures, I usually dont quote the pictures, and in any case both pictures have nothing to do each other. No minarets in the first picture (the Spanish) , sorry

    Maybe a brown boy who spends his time trying to relate South Europeans with his brown people knows better than me if these places in Spain look Moorish or not.

    Read and go cry in a corner

    Dorne is a very special land, with a slightly different cultural basis than the rest of Westeros... it was politically apart for a long time, it was also culturally apart because of the Rhoynar and the traditions they brought, but they didn’t influence the rest of Westeros so much. So the Dornish have their own particular sort of customs. I see that in Spain with the whole history, particularly the Moorish history of Spain, you know... it really sets it apart from France
