Cultivate Interactive Competition - Spot the European City

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Time again for a little light deduction with the Cultivate Interactive Competition. Last time, as you will see below, we opted for capital cities. A small clue or two for this competition: neither are capital cities, both are on or close to a western coast, and both speak a Romance language! Good luck!

Below are two sets of four pictures. Each set of four represents a different European city. All you have to do is decide which cities are being shown.

City 1

City 2

The answers should be sent to cultivate-editor@ukoln.ac.uk Link to an email address before the closing date of 20th December 2002. Names of entrants with correct solutions will be drawn out of a hat and the winner will receive a book token. Good Luck!!

Issue 7 Winner
