In this episode I'm in Spain's Southern region Andalucía (Andalusia), specifically the cities of Cordoba and Cadiz. Andalucía, Spain, is most famous for its flamenco, tapas culture and 500 years of Muslim domination which has left its mark on the food, unique Moorish architecture and the language of this region. Cordoba is famous for its mezquita (former grand mosque) which was once the biggest in all of the Islamic world, it's now a hybrid mosque-cathedral and one of the most impressive monuments I've ever seen! Cadiz is an ancient Phoenician city and has beautiful views over the Atlantic Ocean; its corniche brings to mind images of North Africa and Arabia. In this video I explore the rich culture and history of these Spanish cities and get to know the locals along the way. Andalucía is easily my favourite region in Spain and this video highlights many of the reasons why I love it!

I had such a great time exploring the Spanish cities of Cordoba and Cadiz in the Andalusia region. The history of the region is fascinating not least because it was ruled by Muslims for some 500 years!! The Muslim legacy is still visible in the architecture, food and even language. Did you know about Spain’s Muslim history? Don’t forget to leave a comment, like and subscribe for more videos! 🇪🇸🇪🇸

Wow I luv her Spanish she speaks it so well
Your ethnicity reveal is one most tempting reasons I have ever heard to support a KZread channel. I know 2 clues - your Spanish has a very good Castilian accent, and you also speak pretty good Italian. I guess I could flip a coin.
It was not all of Spain and Portugal(maybe 3/5 of the Peninsula) that became muslim. And before that most of the country was Christian, and before that the Roman pagan religion, and before that Phoenician religion and before that Iberian or Celtic...you get the point. If you dig under most Cathedrals and churches in Southern Spain you are going to find layers upon layers of religious buildings from different religions in the same place.

You forgot to mention the more than 300 years of Visigothic (Scandinavian) government, but as you already know, they were divided kingdoms and the Arabs took advantage of that vulnerability.

"La bella de Cádiz tiene ojos de terciopelo". An old french song singing by Louis Mariano "la Belle de Cadix à des yeux de velours, la belle de Cadix vous invites à l'amour ..." Thank you Angelica 🙏🤓 AN HISTORICAL OVERVIEW OF ANDALUCIA, SPAIN THE PREHISTORIC BEGINNINGS Neanderthal man is known to have lived on the Rock of Gibraltar, 50,000 years ago. In about 8,000 BC an influx of North African tribes established farming settlements throughout the region, and these people are known today as the Iberians. Andalucia's seaboard was extensively settled by the Phoenicians, who established a chain of trading posts, founding the sea port of Cadiz in 1100BC - which makes its Europe's oldest city - and strongly influencing the way of life of the native Iberians. The Phoenicians were followed by the Celts, who in 800 BC moved south across Europe and into Andalucia. By 700 BC the Tartessus Kingdom was flourishing in Andalucia, and a century later Greek sailors founded trading ports along its shore. By the year 500 BC, the Carthaginians had colonised southern Spain.

Cádiz is one of the most visited cities in Spain, and is totally overrun by tourists. Hardly a hidden gem. In fact , nowhere in Spain is "hidden" , it's the most visited country in the world with more than 100 million visitors. But yeah, the ones that go to Mallorca, Tenerife or Benidorm don't care about places like Córdoba or Cádiz

It wasn’t always, it was “re-conquered”. It isn’t now.
“The Dogs of God,” is an excellent read which chronicles the intersection of Moors, Christians and Judaism over 1,000 years leading to the commission of Columbus by Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand to replenish their coffers from the centuries long efforts to drive the Moors out of Europe. Every thing mentioned in this clip is fully articulated in the book. I’ve read it five times, that’s how great it is. Lastly, the title is what Catholic priest were called during that period and “the Moors slayer,” represented Saint James.
