I first learned of Marrakech in 1969 listening to Crosby, Stills and Nash. Ever since, I have wanted to go. Maybe in May I will make it. I want to see "colored cottons hang in the air, charming cobras in the square, striped djellabas we can wear at home". Let me hear you now.

The trip was fantastic. Madrid is a passionate but elegant baroness; Lisbon is a lusty working girl; and Marrakesh is a mysterious and exotic seductress. Food: Madrid - Iberian ham and tapas; Lisbon - seafood; Marrakesh - tajine chicken and olives.  Music: Madrid - Flamenco; Lisbon - Fado; Marrakesh - Gnawa & belly dancing. Architecture: Madrid - majestic; Lisbon - tiled streets and sidewalks; Marrakesh - mud bricks and fantastic mosaics.

You would need to upload them to an image hosting site first. Lately I've been using imgbb (https://imgbb.com/). Used to use imgur, but they got in a squabble with the UK and no longer allow images hosted on their site to be viewed in the UK.

Once uploaded to the image hosting site you can post them here by using the image URLs from the site between img tags:

Result:

Note that a proper image URL will end with .jpg or .png  for the most part.
