I treated myself for my 60th birthday a trip to Granada in Spain, as visiting the Alhambra was on my bucketlist. As I turn 60 on the 8th of September I Will visit the Alhambra today at 14.00 hours. This book is not about the Alhambra but the Muslim présence in Spain or Al-Andalus as it was known for many centuries. It is like Game of Thrones minus the dragons.

Been visiting Alhambra today and it blows your mind especially the Nasrid palaces. There is my hook for reading this book.

How befitting that I now go to sleep in the City of Granada and stop reading the next chapter
: Nasrid Granada.
