Al-Andalus

Málaga (Arabic Malaqa), a port-city on the Mediterranean coast of al-Andalus (modern Andalusia, Spain), was an important harbour under the Cordoban caliphate, the taifa kingdoms, and the Nasrids of Granada. It is the birthplace of the botanist and pharmacologist Ibn al-Baytar (d. 1248), author of the great Compendium of simple drugs and foodstuffs.
