The history of Spain unfolds like a poignant tapestry, revealing a time when Tarik the Moor brought the once-mighty land of the Visigoths under the sway of Islam. For nearly eight centuries, Spain flourished under its Muslim rulers, emerging as a beacon of civilization and enlightenment in Europe.

Countless cities blossomed in the lush valleys of the Guadalquivir and Guadiana, their names echoing the remarkable splendor of a bygone era. - Summary by Stanley Lane-Poole

After swapping a grand Victorian house in leafy Essex for a tiny flat in a wild Andalusian village, we've spent the last ten years navigating the joys, shocks and absurdities of life in Spain. I'm a former London radio producer (not a very good one). I once sacked Richard Hammond for not knowing enough about cars, was spectacularly rude to J.K.

They had come to witness the unveiling of a monument to the Abraham Lincoln Brigade: 2,800 Americans who joined some 35,000 other volunteers from more than 50 countries to defend the Spanish Republic against fascist forces during Spain’s civil war. The conflict, which raged from 1936 until 1939, led to the deaths of around half a million people, including at least 750 Americans.
