The Moorish Empire in Spain had been in decline for almost 300 years before its final fall. Over the centuries, its size already had declined from two-thirds of Spain to - in the end - only the city of Granada and the area around it. Its days of winning big battles against the Christian Kingdoms of Spain were long gone, and one by one the Moorish cities were conquered by the various Christian Kings.

Spain has at least three distinct climatic zones. The North bordering the Bay of Biscay has an Atlantic type of climate much influenced by weather systems associated with the Atlantic circulation. Summers are warm/hot but with outbreaks of rain; winters mild but rainy/snowy in the mountains. Central Spain around Madrid is more remote from Atlantic influences and has a more continental climate with very hot dry summers and very cold winters. southern Spain/Costa Brava etc. has a Mediterranean climate with hot relatively dry summers and most precipitation in winter like parts of California.
