In episode 24 I explain what the Reconquista is and how the concept has evolved over time, as well as talking about the other ideologies of the Reconquista and the Islamic reaction to these ideas from the Christian north. In the other block of the episode I talk about the origins of the Kingdom of Asturias with the revolt of Pelayo and the battle of Covadonga, and I try to clarify the events and the governments of Pelayo and his son Favila.
