Trip to Granada and the Sierra Nevada (December 2017)
The Umayyad conquest of Hispania established Al-Andalus with Ġarnāṭah (غرناطة) as its capital, later passing to the hands of the Nasrid dynasty, the longest reigning Muslim rule in the Iberian peninsula. Its defeat to the Catholic kings made Spain one of the leading powers of the time, proceeding to discover and then conquer (colonize) the new word. This city on the flanks of the Sierra Nevada is one of the points where the fate of civilisations has been decided. It retains to this day a spirit and some atmosphere of its great Moorish heritage, which shaped modern Spain and Spaniards.
