I lived in Spain from 1994 - 1997. We visited the Alhambra once. To this day I still dream about it, specifically the rooftop garden. It's a lovely, magical place.
I love gardens and I’m enjoying this channel a lot! One of things I find fascinating about this episode is the Spanish’s attitude to the oranges. I am of Jamaican heritage and this story triggered a memory of my time spent in Jamaica as kid. We had a very similar attitude towards some oranges that pretty much grew wild or near the roadsides - I just googled their origin and they’re called Seville oranges, come from Spain. 🇪🇸🇯🇲
Hello, I am a 16 year old girl from Malaga, Andalusia who has always been attracted by oriental cultures, I grew up listening to Indian and Arabic music and I still do. My mother, my grandfather, my great-grandmother were all poets and singers. We have Arab features, big eyes, bushy eyebrows, we are dark, dark and curly hair... I firmly believe that we had Muslim artists, who knows, they would live in those palaces surrounded by trees and flowers. The Arabs learned from the architecture of Persia and India. The cultures that interest me the most, there is something mystical and of an inexplicable beauty that attracts me a lot. Thank you for all the legacy. We must protect it and know our history. ♥️
Not Arabic, both you and the BBC have it wrong. The BBC usually does not take nuance into account. If it looks oriental to them, everything is Arabic. If it is from Spain, it is all flamenco and bulls. If it sounds Spanish, all is Mexican, etc, etc... Beautiful documentary anyway, please leave modern politics out of this. You are from Malaga, you surely know better. Spain and Andalucía have their own very ancient and unique cultures. Please do not make them Arabic, Persian, or Martian. All said it is nothing personal, just cultural. You sound passionate and honest in your commentary. Be happy and have a nice day. 🙂
I love how the gardens reflect the art & style of living in that area and the way they use functional & beautiful. As a designer myself this is a fundamental rule for me. Loved this program. TY
The andalusí culture does not exist. Andalusia is mostly baroque. There is almost nothing (apart fromt some old rocks here and there) of Moorish origin there (I would say thank God).
@@robert111kwhat? What? Oh my goodness jajaja 🤣🤣 the andalusí culture have 800 years.

North Europe is foggy, tampered light filtered through humidity in the air, long dark winters, and there you have it, you need softer colors that brighten the place and add the warmth that is lacking, you got to make your home cozy. But in the South of Spain you have the bright light of the sun multiplied and reflected by the Mediterranean Sea, dry air, white homes and light yellow dry earth... its hot and bright and you need to cool your buildings down and match the sun brightness with competing color.
shouldn't a lot of colors provide a spring-like appearance to these long-dark-wintery areas or Northern Europe? I am not convinced .... imagine yellows and reds and oranges and greens and blues playing together like in a spring-time meadow.
Actually the north of Spain is also foggy, rainy and humid. More Ireland than Italy or Greece. People use to think all of Spain has a dry, mediterranean weather, but it is more diverse than most think. It is like a little Europe.
@@_Noopy_it depends, I guess on what kind of building. Modern office building are not built with the most expensive material and also have a large footprint - so colours can sometimes be tacky. On private housing, people use colours in Norway, at least mainly on wooden buildings - I think white is prevalent- but there are also ma y colours. I have a concrete house in a soft terracotta colour which I am very happy with.
I wish the Spanish speakers would have been allowed to be heard and a translation script would have been supplied as it was a poor translation and I was interested in what they had to say. I love the gardens and the beautiful Arab heritage 💚🌸
As an Andalusian, I can say that the video is good but superficial. It doesn't take the Roman origins of Andalusian gardens into consideration. It seems as if the Muslims had created these gardens out of nothing, but that's not the case at all. Before the Islamic invasion, there was already a very important tradition.
I'm glad you mentioned this because it is exactly correct. Most of the so-called Arab gardening and building traditions have their roots in Roman North Africa, Roman Spain, and Roman traditions of irrigation and vaulted stone. This video makes it seem as if Arabian Islamic magicians just came out of nowhere and 'brought' these traditions to Spain, which is absolutely incorrect. I'd also add that most of the gardening in this video is frankly very modern if not Victorian (in the private homes), and would be unrecognizable from the originals. This video was clearly written by a British/Northern European/ or American writer who was at pains to try to make this all seem "Arab", a poor reflection of our politicized climate. This video would be akin to making a video about Canterbury cathedral and claiming it's all 'Danish' or 'Saxon' because some of them were in the area 1200 years ago lol.
@@erawanpencilyou’re being a hypocrite and doing the same thing you accuse the presenter of doing…. “Because some of them were in the area” = 8 centuries of political , cultural, medicinal and scientifically contribution… lol “some were in that area” what a joker you are, the bias is very strong in you. Anyone agreeing with your point will have to also concede that you are on the opposite extreme that make it seems like they were just passing by and that andalusian culture today has 0 influence from the moors….
The Umayyads were the greatest Islamic dynasty. To have thrived in the Levant then to thrive in Andalusia after losing their Levantine home. Amazing and resilient.
@@gideonros2705 Well, in part For example the Romans never irrigated the countryside , only the cities. By irrigating the countryside the Muslims the conditions for a completely new type of agriculture. In terms of design Islamic civilisation expressed profound concepts about human life in gardens and also in architecture. The disappearing ceilings in the Alhambra for example represents the impermanence of the physical world and its eternal merging with the infinite. The Romans had no such sacred concepts., they were base and spiritually empty. Cruel and ruthless rapists and mass murderers who turned grotesque violence into entertainment. For them architecture represented only power and gardens only symbols of wealth.
@@rafthejaf8789 But arabic people had only the desert's wisdom when muslim religion got started. They became the way they are nowdays known as a culture when they got contact with romans (bizantines), persians (who they were in contact to indian people, as well) and egyptian (they were the masters of tretaiment of water, thanks to their river). All those cultures knew as long in time how to work with water, although all of them in a different (but complementary) manner. So, muslim people represented a antique wisdom (not necessarily originated by them) converted in western countries in a beatiful jewel. (From my home, I see Alhambra, because Granade is my mother town and I feel very gratitude because such a magnificent jewel).
@@marmar-xn3fo Thank you for reply. We should remember that the Arabs did have the cultural and religious influence of Jews and Christians which is what gave birth to Islam, and they just alone in the desert. I think the story of how Islam absorbed the knowledge and customs of older cultures is the story of humanity itself. The only real problem with accepting this the denial by Christian West of the fact that its own medieval beginnings were made possible through knowledge and learning it gained from Islamic civilisation. The reasons for this are mainly because of its comparative weakness both economically and culturally that led its elites to fear being replaced and discarded by its own populations in favour of Islam which in reality was a very possibility because the elites of Christendom had very little to offer except war . Un saludo.
So far, for me this is the most favorite video of TH-cam, everything is perfect, the images, the music, the narration and all the art we can see in this amazing gardens. Thank You for sharing it.

@@honesty_provides_tranquility As long as one does not read the entire collection of references I offered above they can not understand what the concept of a Pairi Daeza or Paradise Garden means. There is absolutely no registered design in the entire universe as Ialamic garden. When we say Persian Garden we are not referring to a nationality, we are talking about a very specific and unique design that I give anyone interested to go and find out for themselves. The expanse of Persian Garden design covers the old gardens of Aghanistan, India, Iran, Turkey, Spain and other areas throughout the history. Meanhwhile, you can see on her next episode that even the countries that are center of Islam have absolutely no such thing as Islamic Garden design. Their entire gardens fall under modern garden design. 3000 years of Pairi Daeza. The Paradise Garden, the Persian Garden design. Cheers!

In Morcco we use the flowers of bitter oranges to make tea... and the oranges to clean freshly slaughered chicken instead of or in association with cider and salt .... and the flower water can be used in cooking, deserts, with milk, and for beauty purposes
Beautiful documentary, sad to see all the fountains being painted because climate change and drought will affect this region as the heat increases. Well built ancient homes and title help with the heat, we can learn a lot from our ancestors.

Im not tesching my children of such darkness. ..anyway ill go back to the video. If i can just say im for what the christians years ago have done im still learning about the Buble n trying to be right ..n i mean no ill will. Im here to just learn n i have much respect for it all the culture and the people who have been behind the scenes. Im implementing different plants of all cultures around the world n thats my goal so my garden can reflect that were all beautiful and it is to be resoected n sobour children will know or remember the best side if themselves thats in us all.
The Córdoba patios and inner courtyards are magic and beautiful. Visit my city in depth discovering the hidden and real soul of this millenarium city, as well as Granada carmenes gardens. Regards!
Alguien se inventó lo de los 800 años y muchos se lo han creido. Los musulmanes conquistaron buena parte de la península en el 711 Córdoba volvió a ser cristiana en 1236 Jaén en 1246, Sevilla en 1248, Murcia en 1266... Podéis calcular si fueron realmente 800 años.
Yo no sólo he visto eso repetido hasta la saciedad sobre todo en videos Estadounidenses sino que la mayoría o muchos negros de allí tienen la paranoia de que los moros en España eran todos negros y que vinieron por millones es algo increíble y de una cosa digna de estudio dentro de los bulos en TH-cam bay infinidad de estos vídeos 🤣
And not only the coastal Spain, there are also beautiful mountains (see National Park of Ordesa, probably one of the best natural wonders of the entire world).
Master piece made by moroccan artisans from Fes and Marrakech ❤, the good part is fatima still practices her grandparents arts. New generation from the south of spain they started to question their Roots … you must maintain it as you mentioned it’s an obligation. THATS NOT A EUROPEAN GARDEN, ITS A MOROCCAN GARDEN WITH AN ARAB TOUCH.
As a Brazilian, its a shame that this piece of Iberian art is not more known or built here. The Brutalist design is good for certain institutional buildings, but horrible for habitation...
This is a copy of the Persian gardens from over 7000 years ago (some still exist in Shiraz, Iran). Those gardens were called Pardiss (which was changed to paradise in English)root of the word Paradise).
The reason Muslim art is so fabulous is because it's against depicting people or animals. To them it's idolatry. So their mosaics are incredible! I'm a poet and didn't know it. "Be Kind To Me" Know I haven't said much, sure haven't been in touch, with the things you lately need! But down in the dumps I've been, fall has made my heart rend, so my love has gone to seed! Please be kind to me Baby, please help us see all that we once were we'll make happen over again!
It’s a shame the editors of this great film didn’t use Francisco Tárrega’s Recuerdos de la Alhambra as the theme song for their film. It’s such an evocative piece and would’ve made this so much better.
I wish you guys could check out Islamic Iranian gardens in Iran such as "Kashan fin garden". it's mix of art, science, engineering, design, spirituality and ...there are lots of philosophy behind it
True and the original design was Persian and NOT Islamic as these British subjects keep propagating :). Persians had the same design 1500 years+ before Islam.
The more ignorant he who ignores how different cultures throughout various time period shaped different cultures and feel ashamed of accepting that fact.

Hhhjjk
And Roman influence is actually equal if not deeper... We still live under Washington Irving romantic vision.
800 years stretched out from less than 500 years at the most
1492-711 =781
Overall, 4RA has made cricket season a highlight of the year for us. Can’t imagine it without the app now!
Super pumped that World Cup T20 will be featured on 4ra soon can’t wait
Coastal Spain may have the best combo of weather and geography… I can work with it.
And not only the coastal Spain, there are also beautiful mountains (see National Park of Ordesa, probably one of the best natural wonders of the entire world).
@lolaramirezrodriguez3486 During my USAF days I flew many times to Portugal and Spain. Iberia has it all.
Bro, 4rabet, also known as 4rabet, hosting the World Cup T20 soon is a dream come true for cricket fans
Im so curious how the ancients dealt with mosquitos in the gardens....
Spain had gardens long before islam. ROME AND GREECE WERE AMAZING WITH GARDENS. JESUS!
Its clearly the documentary is talking about this particular Islamic influenced type of garden
I'm sure that Jesus wouldn't have minded that people would talk about gardens.
Islam has just taken much from others', Theology, Architecture, Music and Art...
Not advanced or well planned gardens.
It's not a competition 😂
Beautiful voice narration.
Got the scoop that World Cup T20 at 4rabet is almost here totally psyched
This was amazing !} thank you !
Mate, 4RA events have brought us closer, now we enjoy every match together
Hey man, can't believe World Cup T20 will be featured on 4ra soon, super stoked for it
Just heard World Cup T20 is coming to 4rabet soon the excitement is unreal
Wonderful
Bro, so excited the World Cup T20 is hitting 4rabet soon, gonna be epic
Master piece made by moroccan artisans from Fes and Marrakech ❤, the good part is fatima still practices her grandparents arts. New generation from the south of spain they started to question their Roots … you must maintain it as you mentioned it’s an obligation.
THATS NOT A EUROPEAN GARDEN, ITS A MOROCCAN GARDEN WITH AN ARAB TOUCH.
the overdubs are super distracting. subtitles are always a good option ;)
WOW!
I didn't want to like or give this Beauty a fair chance. After seeing this I can no longer do that. It is all to wonderful !
As a Brazilian, its a shame that this piece of Iberian art is not more known or built here.
The Brutalist design is good for certain institutional buildings, but horrible for habitation...
Can’t wait for the World Cup T20 to start on 4rabet gonna be massive
Rumor has it 4ra will soon host World Cup T20 everyone’s buzzing
13:02 nice to see a brazilian flower on this garden. this is the pink buganvília
Buganvilia isn't Brazilian it's Mediterranean and actually more north African but the Portuguese brought it to Brazil centuries ago 🎉
before islamic influences were the Persian pre Islamic originals by nearly 2 thousand years
We haven't seen any Persian influences 😅 so catch up yourself 😂
Ahh the Water Gardens of Princess Daenerys in Dorne
Yes, Dorne was actually filmed in Spain.
Esta en Granada Spain❤
This is a copy of the Persian gardens from over 7000 years ago (some still exist in Shiraz, Iran). Those gardens were called Pardiss (which was changed to paradise in English)root of the word Paradise).
Yo, heard that the World Cup T20 will be on 4rabet, man, can't wait to see what happens
4ra is gearing up for the World Cup T20 soon sports fans are in for a treat
The reason Muslim art is so fabulous is because it's against depicting people or animals. To them it's idolatry. So their mosaics are incredible!
I'm a poet and didn't know it.
"Be Kind To Me"
Know I haven't said much, sure haven't been in touch, with the things you lately need!
But down in the dumps I've been, fall has made my heart rend, so my love has gone to seed!
Please be kind to me Baby, please help us see all that we once were we'll make happen over again!
Wow, the gardener of the Alhambra spoke some powerful words at the end. Merging ones spirit 🌿
It’s a shame the editors of this great film didn’t use Francisco Tárrega’s Recuerdos de la Alhambra as the theme song for their film. It’s such an evocative piece and would’ve made this so much better.
Dude, 4ra is getting the World Cup T20 soon, the hype is real, bros
I have grown Calamondin and would eat the small tart oranges skin and pulp only spitting the seeds. Try sour fruit with the skin on.
I clicked be a use it reminded me of Dorne 😂
Low maitenance, durable plants are the key factor
4RA has really turned these matches into special events. It's more than just betting; it's about community and fun
I wish you guys could check out Islamic Iranian gardens in Iran such as "Kashan fin garden". it's mix of art, science, engineering, design, spirituality and ...there are lots of philosophy behind it
Even when we lose, it's not so bad. We laugh about it and plan our next strategy
World Cup T20 about to kick off at 4ra soon bet it’s gonna rock the sports world AZ
Is this the place where they set up for Game of Thrones? It's like a place where the Martells are living.
@25:18 my ADHD could never. I'd end up with two in the same direction within the first ten stamps.
bravo
A dream.
The Alhambra gardens didn't have cipreses during muslim times. Those gardens have been much improved by the Christians...
True and the original design was Persian and NOT Islamic as these British subjects keep propagating :). Persians had the same design 1500 years+ before Islam.
Thats just such sad cope. Aw. Poor bubu
The more ignorant he who ignores how different cultures throughout various time period shaped different cultures and feel ashamed of accepting that fact.
Maybe it's the warm weather
Did you see how easy it is to use 4ra? Even my little brother is placing bets now
So beautiful in every way... So those Palestinian people are most probably from Spain , seeking Mecca after 1492
Ah yes, the beauty of Islam and Islamic architecture ❤🤲❤
There is no beauty in islam
