If you want to learn more about Al-Andalus and its history of Medieval Spain then this is the book for you. The author does a good job intertwining his relocation to this magical city, Granada, with its 1000 year history. As an American living in Spain, i knew very little if anything at all regarding the age of medieval spain. Now, after visiting the city two times, i am enthralled by its legacy which vanished in 1492 by the conquest of Ferdinand and Isabella, The Catholic Monarchs. This city truly is as close as paradise on earth one could dream to have lived in. The mountains which hover over the promontory of the great Alhambra are like a real-life Disney movie. The culture. The architecture. The symbolism. The literature. All of man's creation, inspired by 3 faiths. Three faiths which formed an alliance, influencing each other to become the most intellectual region in Europe. This novel leaves you with a sense of wanderlust, just like when you are walking the narrow streets of the old barrio's. The author describes that when you are lost in Albayzin, you will have found your soul. In the narrow streets surrounding the great Alhambra, you are swept away in the age of dance, poetry and trading and the ever formidable 'carmen'. Without reading this book, I will never have known the antiquity of literature which soon will grace my library as I seek out novels with the title of "Song of Songs", "The Dream of the Poem," and the "The journey of the soul." Explore the pages of this travelogue illustrating Granada and its complex history. Let your mind be carried away to the place which your spirit will rest in the glory of wisdom. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Welcome to the Barrio *by J***R on Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2018* Mr. Nightingale's in-depth account on the history of Granada, the Moors, and modern life in this unique city is an engrossing read that compliments any trip to southern Spain. I'll admit I picked up the book thinking the writing would focus more on life in the city today. Indeed, much of the text describes the history and pays tribute to many of the artists and thinkers who hail from this region. Nonetheless, Nightingale offers the history (and his own thoughts) in a digestible fashion and leaves you pondering yourself how Spain, and indeed the world, might be different had Los Reyes Católicos not succeeded in starving Granada. Then, when he does take us to his barrio and modern Granada, you can understand why this city is as special as it is as well as how it can continue to serve as an example of how society can operate at its best. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ No mistake; A good read *by M***S on Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2015* When I began the book, I felt I had made a mistake in choosing it. The initial pages, maybe twenty, went on and on about the gardens and the fruits and vegetables until I wanted to say, "I get it; it is beautiful and wonderful..." I then skimmed a few pages thinking this was a waste of my money. Then the book caught fire with me, and I can hardly put it down. The history is absolutely absorbing while covering so much but still creating a clear understanding of the culture and life during those 800 years. I feel it is helpful to the reader to have a grasp of how we have come to where we are with the culture/religious conflicts we endure to this day. I do ask, "Was the comment referring to George W. Bush and water boarding appropriate?" It was a political snipe that seems so out of sinc with the book. I know a comparison was made, but it just seemed so oddly inappropriate. Overall, I love the book as I love a new understanding of cultures and history. You may want a dictionary handy as the author's vocabulary is extensive. Definitely a good read. ## Frequently Bought Together - Granada: A Pomegranate in the Hand of God - Tales of the Alhambra - THE ORNAMENT OF THE WORLD --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/58345125-granada-a-pomegranate-in-the-hand-of-god](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/58345125-granada-a-pomegranate-in-the-hand-of-god) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
