@nicholaspeters6127 obviously not when or because the ✡️ got forced to go out, mostly to the middle east and morocco. You don't know history.
First, In 1492, the unification of spain under the aragons and castiles was confirmed by the fall of the islamic Emirate of Cordoba.
Second, Christopher Colombus coincidentally discovered the americas that year, which is the beginning of the gold rush for spain and Portugal.
Third, alot of formerly andalusian and muslim things got converted to spanish. For example, Christopher Colombus used muslim made maps (idk if it was middle eastern, ottoman, mamluk or andalusian) maps to try to find india, but he ended up in the Americas. The Catholics of spain replicated former muslim architectural designs and engineering models to build their own palaces and projects, even their most sophisticated weapons and ships, you can search for any big thing built in spain in the 1500s and before that, almost all of it had something to do with former andalusian designs. You can even search for some of the oldest and STILL OPERATIONAL water transport, sewage and irrigation projects from the medieval era in cities like madrid, toledo, Cordoba, Valencia and granada, these projects weren't built by the spainiards, yet it really benefitted their local economies. Since the Treaty Of Granada was signed, it meant that some muslim scholars could stay in Spain, which obviously helped, until Spain violated the treaty, a revolution started, then they nullified the treaty, and finally muslims were forced out of Spain by the well known Spanish Inquisition. And much much more than we probably know was transformed after 1492, so it isn't surprising for the golden age to be considered from that time.
