Also perhaps to narrow it down, I’m very much interested in the medieval time period (think around the time of Ferdinand the Great and the splitting up of his kingdom , El Cid, etc) and the region of Leon, Asturias, and Castile. But larger survey of Spanish/Iberian history and/or the colonial/exploration age would also be interesting.

Personally, I'm more into early modern Spain (for which I'd recommend the books by JH Elliott or Geoffrey Parker), but as far as medieval Spain goes, the picks from my personal library are:

  • LP Harvey, "Islamic Spain,1250 to 1500"
  • Townsend Miller, "Henry IV of Castille"
