Andalusia (Arabic: الأَنْدَلُس) is the peninsular bioregion bordered by the Mediterranean sea to the southeast, the Atlantic Ocean to the west, and the Pirinioak Mountains to the northeast.
History
The Arabic term Al-Andalus was first used by the Muslims who liberated the Peninsula from Roman Imperial occupation. For over 700 years (until 1492 AD), much or all of Andalusia was governed by a series of Caliphates and Emirates.
During the Islamic period, Andalusia was home to numerous libraries and was an international center for philosophy, science, and learning - including climate sciences such as agroecology and permaculture.[1][2] The end of Islamic rule was tragically marked by the destruction of the Andalusian knowledge commons and its vast repositories of Arabic books in an extensive epistemicide.
