Andalusian nationalism (Alhambra)



Andalusian nationalism refers to a group of ideas that profess a nationalistic viewpoint towards Andalusian culture and people. This ideology has it roots in the Nahda, the Andalusian national awakening, a cultural movement of the late 18th and early 19th centuries that espoused ideals of independence from 400 years of Spanish rule. The concept of Andalusian nationalism was conceptualized simultaneously by different people of different creeds, resulting in significant divergences over the type of nationalism, which would determine the political conflicts of the country throughout the 19th century. Andalusian nationalism is divided into several branches that are influenced by various authors and politicians and that have impacted the country in different ways to shape the modern-day Andalusian national consciousness.
