Something extraordinary was found hidden inside a wall, in the hills of Axarquía, in a small village called Cútar: an 800-year-old Quran.
Hidden during the Reconquista and kept secret for generations by people who refused to give up on hope.
I went to Cútar for a conference about the women of Al-Andalus and left with a story I haven't been able to stop thinking about since. Al-Andalus didn't disappear in 1492. In some places, it just learned to hide.
