Together with other local Cultural Foundations, organisations and professional service providers, we defend, research and promote the legacy and traditions of al-Andalus in Spain. We welcome travellers from all over the world to come to discover the secrets of Muslim Spain and it's influence upon our world today. Through tours , workshops and events, we help you to discover Al-Andalus, its heritag
e and tradition. The scope and interest of al-Andalus in modern culture is immense. It was in fact in al-Andalus where the first monarchic democracy was established in Europe in the IX Century, to enable just ruling over Muslims, Christians and Jews, each holding diverse traditions. What was a stable nest of enforced social tolerance within the immense diversity in the population of medieval Muslim Spain, was to rise as a new Islamic civilisation in the West, al-Andalus. Through brief but fragile periods of stability, the civilisation given in al-Andalus has since been considered a crucial foundation stone for European development and the modern world as we know it. Unfortunately there is a general miss culture which has lead to offering the worldwide public a 'historical pantomime' going as far as to bend history into a series of fables and chronicles which in many cases pay little tribute to reality and leading us to the wrong historical conclusions. This is well known to modern Spanish historians and researchers, we know exactly where the mistakes or 'black holes' lye in both the popular and official account of history. As an organisation we work with researchers and historians as well as publishers and editors. It is our intention to rediscover the true history of al-Andalus and we are supporting several projects in this line. We invite the world to participate in the memory and cultural heritage of al-Andalus and also help you actively to discover and enjoy it through historical and cultural tours, workshops and events.
