	Slant Magazine - Film Review: The Magic Gloves

		Meanwhile, Cecelia falls for a dreamy dog-walker, Daniel (Leonardo Azamor), who is also hooked on antidepressants, while Alejandro starts dating Cecelia's friend Valeria (Valeria Bertuccelli), a pretty flight attendent.

	Travels in Morocco, Volume 2. eBook
		Azamor contains now about eight or nine hundred inhabitants, but formerly was much more populated.
		The Shebbel salmon is the principal commerce, and a source of immense profit to the town.
		Azamor was taken by the Portuguese under the command of the Duke of Braganza in 1513 who strengthened it by fortifications, the walls of which are still standing; but it was abandoned a century afterwards, the Indies having opened a more lucrative field of enterprise than these barren though honourable conquests on the Maroquine coast.

	Ferdinand Magellan (c. 1480 - 1521)
		Even if he did, in truth, reach the Moluccas, a further voyage—which he later commanded from Spain to the Philippines—was required to complete the circle of navigation.
		In 1512 Magellan was back in Lisbon; the following year he joined the forces sent against the Moroccan stronghold of Azamor and in a skirmish after its fall sustained a wound that caused him to limp for the rest of his life.
		But unfounded reports of irregular conduct on his part after the siege of Azamor had reached the king, who, refusing his request, ordered him back to Morocco.

	The Magic Gloves (2003) - Channel 4 Film review
		Facing economic turmoil, the motley assortment of barely-working stiffs lack the energy for full-blown despair.
		A couple of them, the melancholy Cecilia (Biagini) and professional dog walker Daniel (Azamor) start to get hooked on anti-depressants and a foggy lethargy seems to infiltrate the characters they interact with.
		It's the same low-wattage burn that Jim Jarmusch and Aki Kaurismäki run on, and fans of their laconic losers will find much to savour here.

	A book excerpt from Over the Edge of the World by Laurence Bergreen.
		In 1513, he seemed to find an ideal opportunity to demonstrate his loyalty and usefulness to the crown when the city of Azamor, in Morocco, suddenly refused to pay its annual tribute to Portugal.
		Magellan's reaction was telling; rather than quitting the field of battle in disgust, he stubbornly remained at his post, somehow acquired a new horse, and participated in skirmishes with the Arabs who swooped out of the desert wastes to harass Portuguese soldiers guarding Azamor.
		Magellan showed himself to be a fearless warrior, engaging in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy on a daily basis.
