[Sca-cooks] Grade school Spanish

[agora at algonet.se]

Medieval Spain was a wonderful place to live, where Muslims, Christen and Jews 
debated and created a real multicultural melting pot! It was muslims architects 
working over the whole Peninsule, Jewish philosophers as Averroes discussing with 
Arabic theologists.
At that time Cordoba and Sevilla were the biggest cities in Europe and they had a 
rich bath culture, very similar to which the Romans had in the Empire.
It was a time of exchange, but it was also a time of clashes and encounters between 
Christen and Muslims. It was the time of El Cid, Spains most renowed Christen hero 
and of the sultans in Baghdad being jealous of their Spanish bethren.
