What, if any, is the relationship between the third longest river in Spain (The Guadalquivir) and the suburb of Muscat, Wadi Kabir?

I've been, and I didn't think it was all that. Although for the record, this was before I took the course on Andalusia that mrputter referred to.

Coincidentally, I thought of your comment when I wrote mine. From the little that I have read, seen pictures and heard about it from others I am extremely confident that I will enjoy it in person. As low a regard as I have for the way Islam has remained stagnant in general, I am a great fan of their Renaissance.

Is that an (onion) rava dosa in the userpic? If so, and even if it isn't, the onion rava is my favourite kind of dosa, hands down. It definitely doesn't look like a regular dosa, or a wheat dosa but I've been proven wrong before... then again, to be proven wrong about a food-item that is zimbly zouth would be "well embarassing", as me main man from the bogs of Staines would say...

I just GISed dosas. But it does look like a rava dosa of some sort. I'm personally much bigger on masala dosas though, I find rava stuff nice only as a change.

Mysore Masaala dosas are a special and wonderful breed by themselves indeed!
