The flavors of Al Andalus still survive in today’s cuisine.

The Andalusian civilization left a formidable architectural legacy that even today, so many centuries later, continues to shine among the enormous historical heritage of the peninsula. But not only that. He also bequeathed us an invisible imprint that survives in many areas of popular culture. For example, in gastronomy. Many of the traditional dishes and culinary techniques that define our current cuisine were forged in Al Andalus.
