Does Iberia really have Arabic influence?

Some people like to troll Iberians about the 800 year old Arab occupation. But it doesn't seem that they have Arabic influence, they aren't similar to countries like Morocco and Algeria.

Discuss.

By all means, let's discuss this yet again.

Which are the musical instruments and dishes that are similar to Algeria and Morocco?

Iberians are desperate and pathetic enough to suggest someone can rule you for 800 years yet somehow leave no traces.

When you bring up the enormous amount of Arabic words in their language they pretend they're not used which is bullshit first off but wouldn't matter to begin with because they still exist.
