THE JOURNEY
Between 711 and 1492, a civilisation flourished on the Iberian Peninsula that preserved the knowledge of Ancient Greece, advanced mathematics, medicine and philosophy, and built some of the most extraordinary monuments the world has ever seen. Al-Andalus was not simply a military occupation — it was one of the most sophisticated civilisations in human history. This expedition travels through Córdoba, Granada, Seville, Ronda and Málaga to understand that legacy and what it means for European identity.
