Migration is not something
new in Spain. Due to its strategic situation, the Iberian Peninsula has
traditionally been a centre of attraction for different peoples along our
history. In the Ancient times, Phoenicians from the Middle East, Greeks
from Eastern Mediterranean, Celts from Northern Europe, Carthaginians from
Northern Africa, Romans from Southern Europe were some of our first visitors.
The Middle Age started with the arrival of Visigothics from Eastern Europe,
then came the Arabs from the Arab Peninsula and the Berbers from Northern
Africa. In the Middle Ages, three cultures coexited in peace for quite
a long time: Christians, Jews and Muslims. |
