The Crypto Jew story is fascinating. They settled in Los Altos de Jalisco also. Lots of people here in Guadalajara that definitely have Jewish-looking ancestry.

With the arabs conquering and governing Spain for over 700 years way back when, the Spanish language got thousands of words that come or are a derivative of arab words, most if not all words that start with "al" are of arab origin like tequila I mean alcohol!
