| | Guide and Travel Facts: Granada, Spain |
 | | Granada after the Reconquest A long period of decline set in, partly as a result of the expulsion of the moriscos (Moslems living under Christian rule) in 1609, depriving the city of its most talented citizens. | | | But political squabbles in Córdoba weakened that city's power, and in the meantime a group of Berbers (refugees fleeing a political upheaval in Morocco) came to Granada and founded their own independent kingdom. | | | In 1462, Christian forces took Gibraltar, cutting Granada off from its major port. |

| | This was the most converted area in the country, in fact, Granada has been described as the first Muslim nation to be completely Muslim - though the description can only have been approximately true, since a Jewish population remained in the city throughout the Moorish era. | | | A Jewish community established itself in what was effectively a suburb of the city, called "Gárnata" or "Gárnata al-yahud" (Granada of the Jews). | | | Granada is also well-known within Spain due to its prestigious university and, nowadays, wild night-life (though in the 1920s Lorca described the grenadinos as "the worst bourgeoisie in Spain"). |
