We tend to think that it has only been in our modern globalised world that ideas such as ‘interfaith dialogue’ and ‘multiculturalism’ have become part of everyday reality. However, a thousand years ago, Spain was the crossroads of the Catholic world of Western Europe, the Islamic world of North Africa and the Jewish diaspora that spread throughout the Mediterranean and beyond.
