ANDALUSIA
2023
For 800 years, you were a beacon of light, where Muslims, Jews, and Christians contributed to the radiance and grandeur. Your lamps of knowledge illuminated the world on a spectrum of fields, including mathematics, astronomy, philosophy, and medicine.
Your glory may have faded, but I remember you with passion. Your courtyards echo the footsteps of the Umayyad, Nasrid, and Almohad dynasties. It traces the stones laid down and the minarets raised by skilled hands. Passion sails the skies and dances alongside exuberance tenderly.
Your ancient cities are a testament to the rich cultural heritage you embody, where the legacy of the Moors lingers in winding alleys. The scent of orange blossoms fills the air, while the notes of flamenco float through your streets. It was the gentleness of your gaze that struck me, lulling my heart for days to come.
As I depart, I hold onto memories of a land that once shone like a thousand suns – reminding me that even in darkness, light always lingers.
