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! 🇪🇸🇪🇸

La majestuosidad y belleza de España, de rincón a rincón, radica justamente en eso; en haber de una manera u otra, en las buenas o las malas, abrazado otras culturas. Todo ese aporte ha hecho de este país lo que es hoy. Un encanto por donde lo mires. Viva España! aunque si no lo soy. 👋👋

[@nyanazulu8756]

"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.

una pregunta para la gente de cadiz, mas o menos que temporada es buena para visitar ? por que tiene cara de que el calor se pone muy fuerte

[@angelleon7528]

En verano hace bastante calor, pero no como en el interior de Andalucía. Al ser una ciudad costera, tienes la brisa refrescante del Atlántico al caer el sol. El agua del mar es fría, aunque en verano muy soportable. Primavera y otoño, son las mejores épocas para visitarla. Si vas en época de carnavales, disfrutarás de un ambiente callejero espectacular, los gaditanos tienen fama de ser la gente más simpática y abierta de España. La comida, sobre todo el "pescaito" es excelente y los precios bastante asequibles. Además, tienes Jerez de la Frontera muy cerca y el resto de pueblos costeros de la provincia (Sanlucar, Chipiona, El Puerto de Santa María, Barbate, San Fernando, Tarifa...) con magníficas playas y una excelente gastronomía y los pueblos blancos del interior (Olvera, Grazalema, Vejer de la Frontera, Setenil de las Bodegas...), pueblos colgados de las montañas que son espectaculares. De todo lo que te he citado, lo mejor es la gente. Malini lo ha dejado ver en el video. Si hablas español, te sentirás como en familia. Cuando regreses a tu casa, vas a querer siempre volver.

Hello Malini, I see that Andalusia has completely hit you but there are other Spanish cities that you will love. As a Valencian, I recommend my city and if you can come to Fallas from March 15 to 19 and you can try the authentic paella, the foreigners who have tried it They all say the same thing, the difference is abysmal, very different from what they do in their countries, a hug.
