Wow...what a great explanation of the Muslim garden idea. THe philosophy of it. I live near the Colonial Spanish UNESCO World Heritage former capital of Central America: Antigua, Guatemala. Being an American expat retiree I loved the walled courtyards in the town...copied from Spain...My very first visit walking the cobblestone streets as a humble large door called a porton would open I would catch a glimpse of a fountain and rose filled courtyard as in southern Spain. It would surprise me every time how so simple a colonial exterior would hide such lushness. Several hotels are in large properties so the gardens are even more impressive. I was lucky to spend 6 mos here living with an upper class family in their home next to a famous church, La Merced. They had another family member who owned such a hotel so I went there for coffee often in the private quarters where they lived. I was lucky to have an introduction into local society that tourists do not get. I was charmed by the easeful life, the understated elegance of the homes and the tranquility of the gardens. I felt I had stepped back in time a century, or two or more. I simply HAD to live here! It is a small town limited by surrounding hil.s and volcanoes to 12 blocks by 12 blocks, ruined churches brought down by earthquakes to paint....heavenly. This was 20 years ago. In two years my husband and I had sold our sailboat we had retired on, bought a property not far outside the town with views of the surrounding volcanoes, expanded the house and made it more like the ones we saw in Sevillia and Granada, lovely tiled decor, added fountains and gardens of roses and tropical plants. THis place the town and our home has given us 20 years of exquisite joy in a perfect climate with great friends, locals and expats alike .We all entertain mostly in our gardens filled with hummingbirds and migrating species including our beloved painted buntings we had on St Simons Isllamd in Georgia, USA....And just as he says....one keeps the walls outside simple..ours are covered with bougainvillia, you come into the porton walk down a path and then there before you is a small paradise on earth with the sound of two courtyard fountains and the birds seranading you...atop two walls peek the tops of two volcanoes....one inactive and the other far enough away to be safe, is active, erupting lava down its slopes and into the air periodically. WE built a second level large terrace area ala espana and a small third level, one as a viewing terrace for that erupting volcano and to see the heavens.

Villa d’Este and Villa Lante are just stunning. Truly a thing of beauty is a joy forever. I can imagine the parties held there, laughter tinkling above the gurgling fountains, a cool breeze wafting over the flowing water, warm rays of sun sparkling on the rippling surface. I could spend ages just sitting there enjoying the beauty of it - God’s creation and man’s creation in perfect harmony. Perhaps someday I can see it in person.

It makes me appreciate anew what a sanctuary, a gift, a blessing any garden is, large or small. Wow. This program is better than buckets of jewels! And it makes me wonder what it would be like if we all saw each other as gardens ... if we wondered what sunlight, what water, each person needs to truly bloom. It would be a different world, but not, i think, impossible. Thank you. May the joy and peace this video gives others be returned to you many times over!

You are right, it doesn’t exist in the Middle East, I am referring to the Arabic tradition in Spain, when the Muslims invade Spain in the seven hundreds they arrive to a gothic Spain that had been roman for seven hundred years and they adapt their style to what is already there, they “arabise” the Roman villa, I am referring to that new mix

I think these series are meant to inspire people to travel. Yes, not everyone has the opportunity to, but I think this series is for garden-obsessed people that will be inspired by the selection here and then plan trips around it... But I do agree, there can NEVER be enough shots of the gardens and explanations of the plants.

A shame the Palacio de la Granja in Segovia did not appear here. The fountains there are great, they have nothing to do with the Islamic world so many tourists are not interested. For them Spain is just the Tales of the Alhambra by Washington Irving, something that did no good to Spain. If you go to Madrid, take a short trip to Segovia and go tho see the gardens and fountains ns, better in autumn... ☺️☺️☺️

Btw, the "h" is silent in Spanish. So, Alhambra is pronounced, "Alambrah." Again, the "h" is silent in Spanish. Examples: Hola, hombre, hambre, alcohol, etc... It's basic Spanish.

Almoravids and almohads didn’t come from the Middle East. Almoravids are Moroccan Imazighen/“berbers” of native North African descent who converted to Islam. Please make some research before saying such things. It’s also not an “Arab” garden, we call Moroccan architecture “moorish” for a reason, mainly because it is actually NOT Arabian. Same thing applies to Riads which are only found in Morocco and nowhere else in the Middle East. Again, much and much misinformation in this documentary, I personally don’t recommend it.

The gardens of spain are of pure moroccan architecture, and the influence is amazigh =native north african. Absolutly not arab. This kind of architechture don't came from meadel east at all and it's compkeatly different from meadel east. it's native to morocco and south spain because this part was controlled by the moroccan empire for centuries.
