Moorish

 
Overview

Al-Andalus was the name of the Iberian Peninsula during the Muslim rule, it is used by modern historians as an umbrella term for the former Islamic states in Iberia.

Description

The Moors ruled Spain for seven centuries and they left their marks across the country, but especially in Andalusia. Even in a modern town like Marbella, if you slip past the beach-facing high rises, you’ll find medina-like streets and cobbled alleyways. But, the best places to see the remnants of the era are the three Moorish capitals: Seville, Córdoba and Granada.
