Before the fourth centenary of the expulsion of hundreds of thousands of Spaniards in 1609 by the Catholic King Felipe III, as Moors, Spain formal and official refuses to commemorate it. And they were so Spanish as the rest of Valencians, alicantinos, Catalans, Castilians, gallegos or Andalusians. Many of these families were hundreds of years living on the peninsula, contributing to its history. Pedro de Valencia denounced the tort that is to deprive them of their land and not to treat them with equality of honor and estimation with other citizens that are all cited by Juan Goytisolo a lucid reflection of a lineage and a blood brothers.
