J & J Books and Coffee J & J opened in Dec '03, but the idea began months earlier. As an American living in Madrid, Jamie says the thing she missed the most was being able to curl up in a big chair with a mocha in one hand and several books to read in her lap. So together with her husband, Javi, they moved to Los Angeles to buy thousands (and I mean thousands!) of books from used bookstores, libraries sales, yard sales and anywhere else they could find good used books. Then they returned to Madrid to convert a Chinese restaurant into their dream Bookstore/Coffee shop. Now it's a great success.

Agriculture Agriculture The Medieval Iberian Peninsula enjoyed a Mediterranean climate, like many of the coastal lands such as Morocco, Algeria, Palestine, Syria, and Lebanon. It was in many ways similar to the irrigated lands farther east, in Iraq and Persia, on the same latitudes. Agriculture and gardening flourished in Muslim Al-Andalus, and its crops of oranges, almonds, and other fine foods enriched the tables and poetry of Europe. Cotton was an essential non-food crop that made the textile industry possible, and its cultivation in Spain was also responsible for cotton’s spread to the New World. Ibn Bassal (fl. 1038-1075 CE) was an original scientist and engineer who lived in Toledo and wrote about agriculture. Irrigation systems were studied and policies were set down, determining exactly when each crop was irrigated, how stored reservoir and rainwater was used, and how water use by farmers and city dwellers was managed.

Spain - AGRICULTURE Spain Table of Contents Viewed in terms of land mass, Spain is one of the largest countries of Western Europe, and it ranks second in terms of its elevation, after Switzerland. A large part of the country is semiarid, with temperatures that range from extremely cold in the winter to scorching in the summer. Rainfall, which is often inadequate, tends to be concentrated in two generally brief periods during the year. Compared with other West European countries, the proportion of land devoted to agricultural purposes is low. The primary forms of property holding in Spain have been large estates (latifundios) and tiny land plots (minifundios). Crop areas were farmed in two highly diverse manners. Though only about 17 percent of Spain's cultivated land was irrigated, it was estimated to be the source of between 40 and 45 percent of the gross value of crop production and of 50 percent of the value of agricultural exports.
