In this absorbing and original series, Spanish art gains centre stage as art historian Andrew Graham-Dixon goes on the road to reveal the fabulous art treasures of the country.

Atop a plateau overlooking the city of Granada stands Alhambra, a mighty fortress and perhaps the most striking testament to southern Spain's Islamic past. The fortress is the focal point of this month's Inside the Middle East and the starting point of a journey through Andalusia in search of the cultural imprint left by the Moors over 500 years ago.
