Arab niggas were shocked by how inefficient Visigoths were. For example they were taxing subjects and not protecting or building roads. The Arabs got there and started building based on old Roman structures and roads. It’s actually insane how modern day Iberians love Germanics so much when they were abused by them, at least the first 3 centuries of Arab/Moor rule were productive and even improved the strength of Iberia. Once the “reconquest” happened, everything was already built so it was easy for the Iberians to become a powerhouse.
