This work is the result of studies led by me during my long stay in Blanca (Murcia, Spain). The darkness and oblivion opposed my purpose, of a nation that almost for eight centuries dominated in Spain and where the political history of the Spanish Arabs (Muslims) in Murcia remained in the deepest darkness until recently. I do not deny the glory of Dozy and the immense service he has done with its publications to Spain, but we cannot ignore that today we have Arabists in Muria and Spain who follow the footsteps of the wise Dutch and have improved on him a lot. Murcia belonged to Al-Andalus and...

Lucena was the son of the prothonotary Juan Ramirez de Lucena, ambassador of the Catholic monarch in Spain. He wrote a book called Repeticion de amores y Arte de Ajedrez con 150 juegos de partido that was published in Salamanca around 1497.

Everything comes to an end and so he had to escape to other places after the sack of...

En el siglo pasado, la obra que mas informacion nos dio sobre el Valle de Ricote fue la obra del frances Henry Lapeyre. Muchos son los autores que han escrito en Espana sobre la expulsion de los moriscos, pero casi todos los trabajos son obras generales sin profundizar en un pasado genealogico y al parecer ningun historiador habia estado interesado en publicarlo. Nuestra obra del ano 2001 supuso un gran cambio en este sentido y asi descubrimos que varios mudejares de Blanca vinieron a Granja de Rocamora entre los anos 1609-1614. Recuperar la historia de Granja de Rocamora ayuda a comprender...

Sobre el futuro de la agricultura como opcion de negocio, un empresario de chufas no tiene duda: ""La huerta tiene mucho futuro."" Un profesor de Formacion Profesional advierte de que ""en la agricultura sobran tecnicos y faltan agricultores del siglo XXI, con calidad emprendedora. Se termino la vision de nuestros abuelos, que tenian magnificas cosechas cuyos beneficios se perdian en intermediarios. La clave para el exito de la huerta es especializacion y profesionalizacion."
