no, you're wrong here too
The military expansion that had allowed the Castilian troops the reconquest was accompanied by a repopulation work, directed by the sovereigns themselves, which resulted in the installation of the Christian population that arrived in these lands and that are presented as essential elements for their defense, since the repopulation of a territory was the best guarantee of its conservation. In the same way, this meant the passage from one society to another, from a world populated, urbanized and governed by Muslim power, to another in which a new society was born that was integrated with greater or lesser resistance within the Christian kingdoms. Society made up of people of different origins and therefore cultures, of diverse socio-professional and therefore economic conditions. In short, this transfer of population implied a social restructuring and a reorganization of land that would avoid putting Christian power in crisis in the reconquered place.
not even the current Andalusians
REPOPULATION AND PRESSURE IN ANDALUSIA
Most of the settlers came from Castile and the kingdom of Toledo, to these he would have to add contingents from León, Galicia and a small number from the Crown of Aragon, Navarra and Portugal. In addition, groups of foreign craftsmen and merchants settled in cities such as Seville.
Christian immigration could not alleviate the population gap created by the departure of the Mudejars in 1266. The sources mention the existence of numerous deserted farmhouses in Lower Andalusia. The subsequent Benimerin incursions into the area also caused a certain number of settlers to abandon their lands. Finally, the effects of the famines and famines of the first half of the 14th century, aggravated by the Black Death pandemic of 1348, will cause this Andalusian demographic crisis to continue.
you should increase the figure from 800 years to 900, since that is really the time it took to complete the mission with definitive expulsion of conversos (this is not about religion, but about culture and race).
At the end of the 15th century, once the Reconquest was over and the unity of Spain had been achieved by the Catholic Monarchs, the process of repopulating towns and cities abandoned by the Arabs in their forced flight was continued, as well as other places that had good geographical conditions. and climatological to make new population settlements and in this way take better advantage of the richness of the land, protecting the roads that linked the big cities.
the process of Christian repopulation of the peninsula continued for years and after centuries other kings like Carlos III will continue with the repopulation of lands, but that will be another story.
