I'm probably way too sleepy to fully graSp the humor in this.....

playing it safe ..
la reconquista started mostly in 1212, portugal being the first to eradicate the majority presence of muslims {and jews}, a few centuries later{bla bla} in 1492, the last vestiges of a muslim leadership was quashed*Iberian peninsula anyways*, royalty of spain said "go for it" in 1480 to the Inquisition forcing muslims, romani and jews to convert or die.
Those that did, still kept a secondary status and were also called marranos because they were suspected to continue their faith in secret {which probably explains why some of my relatives despise such a word}
In the 1600's however, if there was suspicions, those too were ejected/killed.
Hence the little saying "No hay Moros en la Costa"....

the joys of being taught unbiased history....
over and over and over and over....
bedtime for me..
