Spain's Moorish past is evident everywhere you look. For centuries, Christians, Muslims and Jews lived in Spain side by side in peace, and it was home to some of the greatest minds in the world.

jason Webster, who speaks Arabic and Spanish and has a Spanish wife, starts off on his journey around Spain with the idea that 800 years of Moorish identity must have left many traces in Spain beyond the obvious ones of architecture and language. For many years this was suppressed; the Moors had always been the enemy, the other. After the Reconquest in 1492, they were first forced to convert and then expelled from Spain. (

Arrant and arrogant macho nonsense of a Hemingway bent, dressed up as cultural critique. It's like being stuck on a cheap flight with a public school-educated stag party. (

This book is simply wonderful. Webster goes in search of the evidence of the Muslim (Moorish) occupation of Spain, and finds it in all sorts of places in contemporary Spain. (

a quest to discover Spain's hidden Moorish legancy. Jason unmasks the neglected Arab ancestry of modern Spain - of its food, language, people and culture.
