  • Andalusia was a part of the Islamic World for nearly eight hundred years. Gardens here are a reminder of this period through until today. How did this epoch shape garden art in southern Spain and what roles did handicrafts and architecture have in all of this? We set out on a voyage of discovery to the roots of European garden art, which are over a thousand years old and Islamic.

    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.

    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. 🙂

    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. 🇪🇸🇯🇲

      @@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!
