That is correct. But imagine how different it was when they went to extreme lengths to purge the characters of the past period. An example of this was the systematic "re-Latinization" of the Spanish language. They were not entirely successful, with today's Arabic being the second largest influence in Spanish above that of Germanic or other Roance influences.

They even went as far as turning mosques into churches, not fully washing away the islamic characters of it which can still be seen.

Sometimes i feel like it would be cool to have a time portal to see what it was like and how different it looked.

Imagine the Iberian peninsulas temperate climate combined with Arabs water management resources since they came from extreme deserts and had to have reliable source of water wherever they went and the gardens like Alhambra.
