The Caliph and the King: The Impact of Islamic Language and Culture in Spain

Hours: 2

French King Louis XIV once said, "Africa begins with the Pyrenees ". The grain of truth in that statement is that North African and Middle Eastern influence in Spain's language and culture is undeniable. After more than 700 years of presence, there is quite an impact left on the Iberian Peninsula, especially from the Arabic lexicon. There are more than 4,000 words in the Spanish dictionary that come from Arabic. Come and learn to write your name in Arabic, examine history that's not in most textbooks, and, of course, dance.
