  • Las Alpujarras Guided Walking Holiday
    Las Alpujarras Guided Walking Holiday Tour Style: European Centre Based Destination: Spain Trip code: AJLCL 2 & 4 HOLIDAY OVERVIEW Discover the magnificent valleys of the southern Sierra Nevada and enjoy snow-capped mountain views walking through the Poqueira Valley. Further afield, visit the Serrano ham haven of Trevelez. Around nearby Pitres and Busquistar we walk on the GR7 to further our exploration of Iberia's last Moorish enclave. Las Alpujarras is a ‘must do’ mix of culture, gastronomy and great walking; bodegas in the local area surround the picturesque scenery, meaning you can take in the sights as you relax. The Alpujarras, southern Spain, is an area of high mountains and deep valleys lying on the sunny southern edge of the Sierra Nevada. Recognised as a Parque National, it has championed the promotion of sustainable tourism. With an average elevation of 1,200 metres (4,000 feet) the region offers spectacular walking and views of the snow-capped Sierra Nevada. Mulhacen at 3,479m is the highest mountain on mainland Spain and the snow remains for most of the year. Snow melt in spring and summer allows the southern slopes of the Alpujarras to remain green and fertile throughout the year. The Romans and later the Moors constructed ‘acequias’, channels which bring snow melt and water from the aquifer deep beneath the Sierra to irrigate the vegetable plots and fruit trees. The area now houses a large proportion of northern Europeans alongside the locals. Both groups have worked hard to preserve those features that make the Alpujarras such a special place to visit.

  • Islam in Spain 1 Islam in Spain
    Islam in Spain 1 Islam in Spain Islam in Spain has had a fundamental presence in the culture and history of the nation. The religion was present in modern Spanish soil from 711 until 1492 under the rule of the Arabs and Moors of al-Andalus. For key historical dates, see Timeline of the Muslim presence in the Iberian peninsula. As of 2007, an estimated over 1 million Muslims live in Spain,[1] most of them recent immigrants from North Africa, Middle East, and South Asia; although there are also some Spanish converts, estimated at around 20,000.[2] The first Mosque after the Moors were expelled in 1492, in modern Spain, was built after approximately 500 years in 1982.[3] History Conquest Hispania was the Latin name given to the whole Iberian Peninsula (covering the territories of present day Spain and Portugal), and after the fall of the Western Roman Empire (476 AD) the Teutonic tribe of Visigoths ended up ruling the whole peninsula until the Islamic conquest (during that time they pushed another Teutonic tribe out—the Vandals – and conquered another one—the Suevi). It is frequently stated in historical sources that Spain was one of the former Roman provinces where the Latin language and culture The Great Mosque of Córdoba turned church after the Reconquista. grew deep roots. After the fall of the Empire the Visigoths continued the tradition by becoming probably the most Romanized of all Teutonic tribes. On April 30 of 711, Berber leader Tariq ibn-Ziyad landed at Gibraltar and by the end of the campaign most of the Iberian Peninsula (except for small areas in the north-west such as Asturias and the Basque territory) were brought under Islamic rule.

  • La Alhambra in Granada, One of the Most Beautiful and Admired Monuments in the Wold
    La Alhambra in Granada, one of the most beautiful and admired monuments in the wold. An old legend says that the Alhambra was built by night, in the light of torches. Its reddish dawn did believe the people of Grenada that the color was like the strength of the blood. The Alhambra, a monument of Granada for Spain and the world. La Alhambra was so called because of its reddish walls (in Arabic, («qa'lat al-Hamra'» means Red Castle ). It is located on top of the hill al-Sabika, on the left bank of the river Darro, to the west of the city of Granada and in front of the neighbourhoods of the Albaicin and of the Alcazaba. The Alhambra is one of the most serenely sensual and beautiful buildings in the world, a place where Moorish art and architecture reached their pinnacle. A masterpiece for you to admire, and it is in Granada, a city full of culture and history. Experience the beauty and admire this marvel of our architectural heritage. Let it touch your heart. Granada is the Alhambra and the gardens, the Cathedral, the Royal Chapel, convents and monasteries, the old islamic district Albayzin where the sunset is famous in the world or the Sacromonte where the gypsies perform flamenco shows in the caves where they used to live...Granada is this and many more things. The Alhambra is located on a strategic point in Granada city, with a view over the whole city and the meadow ( la Vega ), and this fact leads to believe that other buildings were already on that site before the Muslims arrived.
