During the early Middle Ages this country came under Germanic rule but later was conquered by Muslim invaders. Through a very long and fitful process, the Christian kingdoms in the north gradually rolled back Muslim rule, finally extinguishing its last remnant in 1492, the same year Columbus reached the Americas.
Can you name this beautiful city and its country?

My 8 year daughter was recently given a gift from her friend called Yummy Dough. Last night we finally tried it. It is this great new product where kids can make their own dough, mix the colors and knead to form a molding dough which they can also bake and eat after. Not only is it a dough that it is safe to eat before baking unlike something like Playdoh, it actually tastes pretty good, like a sugar cookie.
