the wake of a book by Washington Irving American diplomat and historian, wrote in 1829 during a stay in Granada and was a guest of a family in the gardens of the Alhambra, I was recently over there to know the story of Boabdil, the last Moorish ruler banished forever from spain on January 2 1492 with all his people by Isabella of Castile, after 900 years of Arab rule in those lands. There is a picture of the mid-ninth century by Alfred Dehodencq that represents well the last look of longing king turned to his city.
