‘Alpuxarras’ tells the story of the Muslim conquest of the Iberian Peninsula in Southern Europe, the subsequent Christian conquest, to the end of the expulsion of the Moriscos in the seventeenth century. Focusing on the presence of the Muslims in Galicia and the forced colonization of the Alpuxarras, Spain, by the Galicians, the similarities between common traditions, today almost forgotten, are outlined.

The political need of unifying the cultural identities of these people under one nation started diluting the historical memory of Spain. ‘Alpuxarras’ shows us a past that is necessary to understanding the present reality.
