For those interested in History and the Bullshit Sold as History to Erase the Real History. Madrid was founded by Moors. BBC open archives continues to introduce us to great shows and documentaries.

Yep. There is thousandths of Moorish words in the Spanish Language.
Thank you for posting I love this show.
Thank You I had been to many of those places mentioned. I lived for 3 years in Andalucia, spoke the language and used to hang out in Sevilla due its Latin Jazz Scene. My wife job was taking the people of the Military Base on Tours over Morocco, all Spain, England, France and even Russia. Living in Spain I remember a documentary by a University that tagged "El Cid" as nothing but a Criminal and Gangster... going around with his Mercenary Army of xtians and moors holding hostage a region forcing the region to feed his army or else... It is being known. And when my identity and ethnicity was revealed there were times they apologized for the "Discovery and Colonization of the New World". We are constantly spoon feed history to concur with an agenda. And Yes... their first impression was to ask me if I was from the Canary Islands or if I was a "Moro", americas came a third choice. It was easy for Puerto Ricans to pick up the Andalusian accent... speaking with the letter "Z".
