History of Gypsies Route

Around the ninth century, thousands of inhabitants of North-West they began to migrate westward. They lef the territories currently known as Punjab and Pakistan and Persia were divided into two streams: a migration headed for Palestine, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia and Morocco and, afer crossing the Strait of Gibraltar, fnally landed in areas of southern Spain Moorish. These migrant populations were already known by the name of the Gypsies (ndt one of the supposed origin of the name is a modifcation of Egypt, crossed the country during migration). In the region known as Al-Andalus, cultures were coexisted for centuries. Al-Andalus was the only place where, for a long period coexisted gypsies, Jews, Christians and Muslims. The invasion of the Muslims and the division into castes implemented by those in the occupied territory, causing migration of the population. Most migrants belonged to the lowest caste, Shudra or Chandalar, and was outside the caste system. While the caravans of Indian immigrants moved westward, they absorbed elements of the countries and cultures, crossing. When they reached Spain, their language, their way of dancing and singing were still some similarities with the original elements brought from India. The frst Gypsy tribes settled in Andalucia during the reign of Abd ar-Rahman III, in the age X.
