In this episode I'm in Spain's Southern region Andalucía (Andalusia), specifically the cities of Cordoba and Cadiz. Andalucía, Spain, is most famous for its flamenco, tapas culture and 500 years of Muslim domination which has left its mark on the food, unique Moorish architecture and the language of this region. Cordoba is famous for its mezquita (former grand mosque) which was once the biggest in all of the Islamic world, it's now a hybrid mosque-cathedral and one of the most impressive monuments I've ever seen! Cadiz is an ancient Phoenician city and has beautiful views over the Atlantic Ocean; its corniche brings to mind images of North Africa and Arabia. In this video I explore the rich culture and history of these Spanish cities and get to know the locals along the way. Andalucía is easily my favourite region in Spain and this video highlights many of the reasons why I love it!

I had such a great time exploring the Spanish cities of Cordoba and Cadiz in the Andalusia region. The history of the region is fascinating not least because it was ruled by Muslims for some 500 years!! The Muslim legacy is still visible in the architecture, food and even language. Did you know about Spain’s Muslim history? Don’t forget to leave a comment, like and subscribe for more videos! 🇪🇸🇪🇸
Not just in the architecture/culture but also the language itself
You are such a blessed person that introduce the world in a great excellence. I am benefited a lot to decide where I should go. I and my family will pray for you to excel in your assignments.
muslim invaider kill how many civil
@@Lama12339indeed!
@@SolomonKeneathank you very much 🙌
Under the Mosque in Córdoba there is a Christian church, a Roman Basilica and a Ibero-phoenician temple. You get the point...Spain is very old
Indeed
@@Malini.Angelica I could paint a thousand portraits and ten thousand sketches of you. You’re absolutely breathtaking
Excellent combination of history, culture, food and interaction with the locals. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This content is beyond moving ... inspiring ... and rich in character, love ... life and joy of the world.
It shows the blind true colors they have not seen... colors that do exist and can be experienced.
Since watching this channel I started approaching strangers which has made me amazing new friends, buying things I love like fragrance and clothes, and exploring beautiful parts of my city (stockholm) ... the beauty of life is such a joy and I am happy to be alive and young
That’s so nice to know, life is short so we must live it to the maximum ❤
I was in the Marine Corps and spent 5 months on a Navy Base, which was 45 minutes from Sevilla.
The best 5 months of my life! The Spanish were kind and hospitable.
My goal is to go back to Spain 🇪🇸 soon!!
It’s a very unique region of Spain, Seville is a fantastic city!
Rah! Was there too 3 years ago.
That part of history i actually remember . I appreciate that you cover not just the partying scene of different countries but the history, and different cultural dynamics as well.
Glad you enjoy the videos !
This woman is perfection - brains, beauty, and class.
I would call her a lady instead of simply a Woman
Thank you 😊
Este es tú comentario del video? Patético hombre débil
And charm, too.
Let me guess, half Indian, half Romanian; born in England.
The most engaging and thoughful travel vlogger anywhere on TH-cam.
Thank you 😊
I adore Andalusia! I dream of living there one day ❤
I don’t blame you 😊
Miss Angelica,
I want to express my gratitude to you and your team for yet another wonderfully crafted video. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you 🙏
You cover Spain very well, there is none better, Keep going!! Saludos!!
Thanks a lot!
Andalucía is simply Beautiful!!!
It is ❤
Malini always makes me feel homesick for a city I have never visited. This was lovely.
Glad you enjoyed it 😃
It was not all of Spain and Portugal(maybe 3/5 of the Peninsula) that became muslim. And before that most of the country was Christian, and before that the Roman pagan religion, and before that Phoenician religion and before that Iberian or Celtic...you get the point. If you dig under most Cathedrals and churches in Southern Spain you are going to find layers upon layers of religious buildings from different religions in the same place.
Woa woa, stop with the details and nuanced view. I want my clickbait and my contrarian take! Spain was muslim, deal with it! Are you a white nationalist?
You forgot to mention the more than 300 years of Visigothic (Scandinavian) government, but as you already know, they were divided kingdoms and the Arabs took advantage of that vulnerability.
this city is like a museum. will love to check it out one day.
Hope you get to !
Thank you for sharing my sis. It’s very nice videos. You looked stunning😎
Good episode, covering Cordoba and Cadiz which I haven’t yet been able to visit. Definitely on the list
Have fun!
Spain 🇪🇸 looks 👀 very nice
Another great video! It gets better every time!
Glad you enjoy it!
I just want to thank you for this video which transported me back to Spain, a country that holds a piece of my soul! Twice I've been blessed to wander its vibrant streets: Madrid's energy, Barcelona's artistic flair, Seville's flamenco heartbeat, the historical echoes of Toledo, Granada's breathtaking Alhambra, and finally, the spellbinding Cadiz, where it was the first time for me to see the Ocean !!
All very fun and beautiful places in Spain, and so many more to explore 😊 thanks for watching !
Your ethnicity reveal is one most tempting reasons I have ever heard to support a TH-cam channel. I know 2 clues - your Spanish has a very good Castilian accent, and you also speak pretty good Italian. I guess I could flip a coin.
Hi Malini just saw you vlog nice i really liked. No doubt Spain has a great name 👍🌷☕☕
Thank you so much 🤗
Cádiz is at least 3000 years old. It's a Phoenician city, a western version of Tyre, almost a carbon-copy of it.
I see the similarities

A mix backdrop of Mosque & Church looks Exotic, but Fresh Seafood and glass of Beer was so inviting, Thanks Malini for taking us around Andalucía
You’re very welcome 😊
Your video's are amazing! Classic, relaxing and educational. My suggestion is for you to go to Albania, that is (going to be) hot and happening :)
Great suggestion! Thank you 🙏
A masterful video! It exceeded expectations, impressing with its exceptional content and presentation.
Thank you very much!
Last year I watched your video on Granada and made the decision to go. I spent one week in Granada and Madrid last month and had an amazing time. After this I'll have to add Andalucía for next year's trip xD
You definitely should 🙌
Thank you… not a place on my radar but certainly is now… very accessible from the uk too! Keep up these great vlogs, Malini… much appreciated 👍🏻⭐️

Exceptional video, Malini! My favorite moment was definitely "Los Chungitos." "Me quedo contigo."♥️ One of your best qualities is your remarkable ability to connect with the locals at an intimate and personal level.
Thank you so much!!

Thank you Angelica 🙏🤓
AN HISTORICAL OVERVIEW OF ANDALUCIA, SPAIN
THE PREHISTORIC BEGINNINGS
Neanderthal man is known to have lived on the Rock of Gibraltar, 50,000 years ago. In about 8,000 BC an influx of North African tribes established farming settlements throughout the region, and these people are known today as the Iberians. Andalucia's seaboard was extensively settled by the Phoenicians, who established a chain of trading posts, founding the sea port of Cadiz in 1100BC - which makes its Europe's oldest city - and strongly influencing the way of life of the native Iberians. The Phoenicians were followed by the Celts, who in 800 BC moved south across Europe and into Andalucia. By 700 BC the Tartessus Kingdom was flourishing in Andalucia, and a century later Greek sailors founded trading ports along its shore. By the year 500 BC, the Carthaginians had colonised southern Spain.
Interesting, thank you for sharing!

Nice 👍 video i like it so much 😊
Muslims were in what is now Spain, from 711 AD until 1492, about 800 years.
Only in Granada.
In my home region of Asturias the count is zero.
Another great video - thanks! When were you in Cádiz? I was there April 21 - May 2. 🇪🇸
May time!
I'm from LA and the gentleman at 24:58 is wearing an LA tee. That's a sign I have to visit! I love the vibe, presentation, and history lesson here. Thank you.
Yes you do 😊 thanks for watching!
Your videos make me want to move back to Spain and make videos in this style. You have a relaxed style that just makes everything so idyllic.
Thank you 🙏
The place you met Pepe and ate, I could see on the wall pictures of Matadors, as Spain is famous for Bull fighting. Their favorite sport. Andorra is also a lovely place.
Thanksb
More from Andalucía please!
I have learnt a lot from this video. Thanks Malini Angelica. I studied my history lessons thay Muslims once conquered parts of Spain. I hope you came from Caracas, Venezuela. I guess you are pure Latino with a very big information.
I'm in Love, Oh and Spain is nice.
i am watching spain even setting in Lahore Pakistan Thank you Malini dear
Good work
Thanks!
Cádiz is one of the most visited cities in Spain, and is totally overrun by tourists. Hardly a hidden gem. In fact , nowhere in Spain is "hidden" , it's the most visited country in the world with more than 100 million visitors. But yeah, the ones that go to Mallorca, Tenerife or Benidorm don't care about places like Córdoba or Cádiz
Cadiz has nice tourism compared to those places
Super video. You are super friendly and people like talking to you. Been to both places they are excellent so colourful and exciting. I was working on a cruise ship many years ago and my friend and I got back to the port in Cadiz and the ship had already sailed away. So we had the whole evening to check out how lovely Cadiz is. 😅………..🤗🇨🇦
Ah that isn’t a bad place to be stranded! 😀😀
Looks beautiful 😊
In love with the personality since the first second
I really like your videos 😍
Glad you like them!
She can speak all the languages 😮
Gracias por acercarnos a las raíces del Cristianismo y el Islam. Debo prepararme para el sol inclemente de la Andalucia veraniega. Todo vale por visitar las dos ciudades. السلام عليكم
una pregunta para la gente de cadiz, mas o menos que temporada es buena para visitar ? por que tiene cara de que el calor se pone muy fuerte
It wasn’t always, it was “re-conquered”. It isn’t now.
Hola malini😁 wow😳 what beautiful cities in the southern region of spain. So historic and colorful😁 the food, the food, always gets me hungry😁 you look great with your tropical tan👍 wonder where you got that😏😁 excellent job, malini, thank you😁👍🍺
Glad you enjoyed the video, the food is fantastic, love tapas!! Tan is ongoing 😊
Absolutely beautiful
History & 🕙 moving .Life is beautiful
🙏😊
Right eating the prawn heads was just crazy 🤪 lol 😆
The most beautiful part of the video...Malini.
im lost in beauty between you and the city 😁
“The Dogs of God,” is an excellent read which chronicles the intersection of Moors, Christians and Judaism over 1,000 years leading to the commission of Columbus by Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand to replenish their coffers from the centuries long efforts to drive the Moors out of Europe.
Every thing mentioned in this clip is fully articulated in the book.
I’ve read it five times, that’s how great it is.
Lastly, the title is what Catholic priest were called during that period and “the Moors slayer,” represented Saint James.
Thanks for sharing!
Nice tan line!😘
That was a Chrysler with Corinthian leather
Very nice ❤
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice show. Come to Kenya!
You cheered me up . ! Thank you for such a stunning video and somehow forgotten earlier Muslim history . Yes it is definitely worth visiting Cordoba and the Grand Mosque of Cordoba . And Cadiz also. Beautiful city at the edge of the Iberian peninsula.
Todays Gibraltar was the landing and invading point of the Moors from Africa which still is called Jabal Tarik by Arabs , mountain of Tarik.
It is The British Territory now .
Im happy you liked the video. The history of this part of Spain is very interesting including its Muslim past. All have resulted in a interesting modern day culture. Interesting about what they called Gibraltar, thanks for sharing!
@@Malini.Angelica yes

I love your content! ❤ Great to see a fellow Londoner make content like this 🙌🏻 And I’m going to make a very random comment, but you look SO MUCH like the 90s Mexican singer Selena Quintanilla! 😱
I’ll look her up 😅
Moorish history is very interesting on a side note, cool tour though 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
