It may well be Common Horehound, Marrubium vulgare, I picked the one noted for silver leaves. Common horehound also has white blooms. Take a look at Marrubium supinum http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marrubium_supinum. I translated it into English and it says it grows in the mountains of central and southern Spain [2] as well as in Morocco , Algeria and Tunisia [3] [1]
No not wrong Ava :) Here is a great diagram of the Lamiaceae, Mint Family:

Horehound is one arrangement and Salvia another. Both have square stems and five united petal, 2 up and 3 down.
Welcome to Project Noah, sotplaya.
I'd guess this is a sage (Salvia sp.).
I hope you like the site as much we do; there are many features you can explore:
I invite you to go to http://www.projectnoah.org/faq where you will find the purpose and “rules” of Project Noah.
There is a blog http://blog.projectnoah.org/ where we post articles from spotters with special insight into different organisms.
There are also the chats for help with identification, and to comment on your own and others’ spottings.
Look at the global and local missions to put your spottings into: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions
Enjoy yourself here, see you around!
