ANDALUCIA FACTSThe name Andalucia is
derived from “Al-Andalus”, the Moorish name for the Iberian peninsula. Of the 17 “autonomous
communities” that make up Spain, Andalucia is the second largest in land area. The region is home to
Spain’s highest mountains, and nearly 15 per cent of its terrain is over 1,000
meters high. The region was
conquered by the Romans in 206BC. The emperors Trajan and Hadrian came from
Andalucia. During the Moorish
occupation in the Middle Ages, the Andalucian town of Cordoba became the centre
of power, when the Great Mosque of Cordoba was built. Granada’s Alhambra palace
is another great remnant of the Moorish era. Many towns in
southern Andalucia bear the words “de la Frontera” in their names, reflecting
their one-time status on the border of the Moorish occupation as it was pushed
back. The town of Ronda is
host to Spain’s oldest still-running bullfighting ring, built in 1784. It is
open to tourists. Andalucia is considered the home of bullfighting and
flamenco.
Andalusia has a long history. Agriculture and complex society had developed in the region by 4000 bc. During the 9th century bc the Phoenicians founded the coastal colony of Gadir (now Cádiz), and by the 5th century bc Carthaginians and Greeks had colonized the coast, while the indigenous Iberian peoples of the interior developed a rich urban culture. The Romans, led by Scipio Africanus, conquered Andalusia between 210 and 206 bc, and the region eventually became the Roman province of Baetica. Flourishing under Roman rule, it was the birthplace of the emperors Trajan and Hadrian and the writers.

Andalusia is among the Spanish regions that possesses its own more distinct culture, plural and composed of diversed elements.
The traditional culture is seen in the richly artistic pottery, leather works, wood carving, metal works and basket weaving as well as fabrics that are found in all Andalusian establishments. One can acquire blankets from Grazalema (Cadiz) or from Alpujarras, lace from Andévalo in Huelva, Moroccann leather works from Ubrique, leather wear and country footwear from Valverde del Camino (Huelva). In Granada there are original craftsmen of street lights and wood working and jewellery presented in various manners.
Regarding the literary aspect, Andalusia has offered great
names in Spanish culture
and to the West, such as Mateo Alemán, Juan de la Cueva,

Machado, Juan
