Spanish words from Arabic

http://www.alhewar.net/Basket/Habeeb_Salloum_Spanish_Language.htm

I found this interesting, if rather bombastic, page. Most of the Spanish words listed I do not know, but some I do (alcalde=mayor, etc). I remember when I learned the word "azafata" last year (for air stewardess) I thought, this has to have come from Arabic. And it does.
