I took a walk through this beautiful world felt the cool rain on my shoulder found something good in this beautiful world i felt the rain getting colder sha, la, la, la, la, la, sha, la, la, la, la, la, sha, la, la, la, la, la, sha, la, la, la, la anthony ah, the storybook kingdom of granada. One of the oldest, most complex, magically surreal places in spain, and one of the most beautiful. Granada is tucked against the Sierra Nevada mountains of andalucia in Southern Spain. Its not like barcelona, its not like san sebastian, it aint madrid. Any reasonable sentient person who looks at spain, comes to spain, eats in spain, drinks in spain, theyre going to fall in love. Otherwise, theres something deeply wrong with you. [ man chuckles ] anthony spains the sort of place that never really made any sense anyway, and in the very best possible way. [men chanting ] anthony this is a country that gave us the spanish inquisition, also anarchy. This is where devout catholicism mixes with surrealism, modernist cuisine with traditional tapas. Christianity and islam traded places, shared space. And the effects and influences of all those things are right here to see. You could almost look back through time and through the mists of history, see the phoenicians marching up, cross the vega. Or are those feral hippies . An influx of international hippies, many of whom appear to have set up squats in the caves up the mountain, have made things interesting. If they ask what were doing, you should say were staging a moon landing. Wherever you are on the ideological spectrum, however, some things are constant it seems some stereotypical expectations. Its true, there are free tapas everywhere. Yes, they do actually take siestas, which is a civilized damn thing to do, far as i can see. Flamenco . Yes, they do that also. But in granada, they do it oldschool. And, oh, yeah, bullfighting. They do that here, too. But i digress. Im here actually to answer a question. What happens if you go over to the other side . Say you grew up in the states, and, like a lot of us, wondered, fantasized about what it would be like living abroad in old europe, surrounded by crusader castles, delicious food, another language, another culture. What would that alternate life, that road not taken, be like . My longtime friend and cameraman from maine, zack zamboni, is finding out. So where are we going . Zack uh, right here, one of these tables, which maybe we want to do like this with. See . How often do you get to go out with somebody that can properly block the table . Anthony misery is what it is. Zack oh, boy. Gracias. Waiter ah. Anthony ah, yes, of course. Snails in an almond sauce, about as traditional and as delicious as it gets. Thats a plateful of perfect happiness. Zack good tapa, huh . Anthony thats right, tapas come from here. And this is still one of the few places in spain where theyre free. All you have to do is keep drinking. Zack you can sit here all day, just ordering a couple drinks and anthony right, no rush. I plan on spending some time here. Red wine ordered, tripes to follow. Tender, spicy, delicious tripe. Zack sun, plaza, guts. Pretty good. Fuen hello. Hello. Youre , no . Anthony not too long ago, before zack basically defected to spain, he met fuen. The next thing you know, hes living here, part of an extended andalusian family, eating the ham, drinking the wine, living the life of the spanish dandy, in freaking granada, no less. Classically, culturally speaking, do you want a sensitive, nice, caring, thoughtful guy . Fuen well, it depends on the woman first. But usually we look for this kind of person that we know he will protect us. Anthony from what . Feral hippies . [zack laughs ] fuen for example you know . Or anthony i would love to do the vows at your wedding. Do you, zack zamboni, swear to protect fuen sanchez from any attacks by feral cavedwelling hippies who might attempt to sell her jewelry or other things of little value . [ zack laughs ] fuen thats actually a very bold vow. Anthony i figure now that zack is marrying into a spanish family, i can piggyback along for a bit, suck up a little of the magic, live a little bit of what has often been my dream, too. Zack but if we can get weird for a second here, man. Anthony uhoh. Fuen oh, boy. Zack some places, do they have an energy, man, about them . Anthony what are you saying, man . Zack i, you know, i dont want to get into metaphysics or, uh some places we go anthony youre going to be living up in a cave, you keep talking like this, huh . [ zack laughs ] anthony more wine. [ laughter ] anthony to see spain, to see it straight, to understand it at all, you should probably peek, if only through spread fingers, at that most spanish of traditions, bullfighting. Meet el fandi, one of spains most dashing and respected bullfighters. Hes invited me to la marquesas ranch, a private bullring where he likes to practice. [ man shouting ] alejandro so, what theyre going to do now is theyre going to check how brave. Anthony and if the calfs not brave stew . Alejandro exactly. Anthony along with me for the day, fuens brother alejandro, who, like many spaniards, consider bullfighting an art. Today, a little practice first. And dont worry, this guy is too young to fight. Alejandro so this is the red cape, you know, that this is the most important cape. Where they make all the art, all the poetry. Exactly. Oh, yeah. Anthony why the cape, not the man . Alejandro because its moving. Anthony so thats important . Alejandro thats important. Anthony you dont want to be moving . Alejandro you dont want to be moving at all. It seems they they get they get more attack, more [ men shouting ] [ laughter ] anthony this guy clearly has spirit. Right away, he tries to take a poke at zacks femoral artery. Promising. [ el fandi speaking spanish ] [ alejandro speaking spanish ] alejandro nows your turn. Anthony i dont think so. Alejandro sure. Nows your time. You are him. Hes going to teach you. Anthony yeah . Alejandro sure. Anthony okay. Anthony no one likes to look like a pussy on tv, so, when el fandi jokingly suggests i join him in the ring to wave a pink cape at an aggressive young bull, who just moments ago charged my cameraman, i said what any idiot would say, si. It all starts well enough. Hey, this is fun. This is easy. Anthony whoa. Anthony until i get a horn hooked right up next to my nut sack. Then its not so fun. Anthony thanks, guys. Oh, man. [ laughs ] this youngster shall live, perhaps to gore future tv hosts with his mighty horns. [ man shouting ] anthony now, this, this is what a real bull looks like. This is a whole different thing, 500 freaking kilos of aggressive, charging, fourlegged killdozer aiming at your meat and two veg. Thats a lot of muscle. Alejandro yeah, thats a lot of muscle. Thats a big bull. Anthony and no matter how big, how strong, how scary, for this intrepid reporter whos seen many animals die for his dinner, this part is never easy. Alejandro so, as you see, he puts the cape lower so the bull brings the face forward, showing the neck. Thats it. Good one. That was really good. And, um, yeah, thats it. Anthony hey, its time for stew. Bull stew. Our friend went to a better place after all, like a big pot, where he simmered slowly for hours with local herbs, onions, and potatoes. Nothing like a roaring fire and a spread of iberico ham, homemade chorizo, spanish cheeses, bread, and Good Olive Oil to take the sting out of a near genital mutilation. Nice. Alejandro looks good, huh . [ el fandi speaking spanish ] alejandro its not a bad place to come, right . Anthony no. [ laughter ] now, you started, uh, at age 19 . [ el fandi speaking spanish ] anthony when you were a little boy, growing up alejandro yeah. Anthony you aspired to be alejandro exactly. Anthony a bullfighter. The matadors were the original rock stars, the very ideal of masculinity, male beauty, and grace. That runs deep. Like it or not, you should probably know this before dating a spanish guy. Me, id happily see an end to it tomorrow. But there is no denying the terrible beauty of a very complex tradition. Its not about winning. Its not about killing the bull. It and it and nor is it about being just skillful. Uh, you have to look good doing it, too. Alejandro yeah, exactly. Anthony are there any, like, really uglyass bullfighters . [ el fandi laughs ] anthony like, a really outofshape, a matador with a muffin top. How do you call a muffin top . [ alejandro speaking spanish ] [ el fandi speaking spanish ] [ men speaking spanish ] alejandro weve seen just a little bit, yeah. Theres a little of everything. Anthony interesting. Well, it was an Education Today and a great meal. Thank you. Alejandro cheers. Anthony cheers. May your holidays glow bright and all your dreams take flight.

Its easy to switch and save. Anthony holy week, or semana santa, as its called. Observed all over Southern Spain with a seriousness and a fervor you might not see elsewhere. For the seven days leading up to easter, nearly every city in andalusia gets taken over by ancient processions. To an outsider, its an impenetrable montage of confusing, yet deeply evocative images. Figures in dark hoods loom up from every direction. Smoke pots of incense, candles, religious imagery, and the crowds. Flashes of goya and velazquez, dimly remembered impressions of the inquisition. [ men shouting ] anthony okay, watch this. These guys got to get their painstakingly crafted, massively sized, and incredibly heavy and cumbersome float through the door, down the steps, and out into the street. Pedro but the woman who escort the virgin, they wear candles to light the whole way to the cathedral. Anthony pedro is another of fuens brother, the youngest, and when not working for an it company in ireland, he does this. He carries crushingly heavy religious floats. Theyre called castilleros, and they devote months of training to this. Man, that things huge. Pedro yeah, theyre moving. Its huge. And this is very, very heavy very heavy throne. Anthony the virgin float, about 3,500 pounds total, and precise dimensions that have to make it through the door just so. The bearers have to kneel. [ man in parade speaking spanish ] man in parade thats right. Anthony crawl along with it on their backs to get it through the door. Man in parade up, up, up, up, up, up, up anthony and the main event. Ready . Set . Up. [ cheers and applause ] anthony lets face it, i like a procession and all but who likes a bunch of guys in hoods coming in your general direction . I dont. Frankly, it creeps me out. Time for a drink perhaps. This is tabernaculo, as best i understand it, an easter jesus and mary themed drinking establishment where between drinks one can ponder the agony of the christ, but with sausages. Is it like this all year or just over easter break . Pedro its the whole year. Anthony the whole year, its always like this . Pedro the whole year, yeah. You have incense whole year, uh, easter music whole year. Anthony now, is this a week for quiet contemplation and worship or is this a party week, or both . Pedro both of them. Anthony throughout the course of the week, over 40odd processions will creep slowly through these streets. There are different brotherhoods, each with their own sacred colors, crests, insignia and so on. Its their medallions and particular christ images that adorn the bar. And, frankly, theyre kind of bummin me out. Maybe its just me, but when im getting a nice late morning buzz i dont particularly want jesus looking down at me from, like, everywhere. How drunk can you get here . Dont you feel like a little guilty, like, getting really drunk here . Pedro yeah, of course. Anthony whoa, uh, morcilla . Pedro morcilla. Anthony oh, this is one of my favorite things. Pedro this is your favorite things . Anthony ever. Yes. Pedro try it. Its amazing. Anthony gaze away disapprovingly all you like, jesus. I am happy now. Overlooking granada, the hillside of sacromonte is riddled with caves. Many of them older than anyone even remembers. Spanish gypsies or gitanos have lived here in cavesturnedhomes like this for hundreds of years. [ man speaking spanish ] [ singing and clapping ] crowd aley aley anthony they call this a juerga, an informal, intimate, and spontaneous performance. What jazz musicians might recognize as a jam session. Alicia this is it, granada, the only place in the world where you get to see real flamenco in a cave. Anthony alicia, like just about pretty much everyone in granada, is an aficionado. [ curo speaking spanish ] [ singing ] anthony our host, curo, is a poet, historian, and a patriarch of the Gitano Community here an icon of the flamenco world. Gitano, a gypsy traveler or roma people are more embraced by the culture here than most other places in europe. Alicia well, we have our own gypsies here. [ chuckles ] those are ours. Yeah. I can tell you three things that we for sure we do here. We do flamenco, we do tapas, and we do siesta. Which anthony you do them well. Alicia yeah. We know how to live, dont we . [ laughs ] anthony yeah. [ curo singing in spanish ] [ curo and crowd chanting ] [ crowd singing ] [ curo speaking spanish ] anthony they dig deep for their material here. It means something. Theyre telling you something about themselves. What is the word . Duende. Curo ah, duende. Anthony what is what is duende . Ive heard it. What . [ curo speaking spanish ] anthony is it an emotional state or a technical . [ curo speaking spanish ] anthony is unhappiness necessary for great art . [ alicia speaking spanish ] curo si. Anthony oh, he didnt even have to think about that. [ curo speaking spanish ] alicia and then, you perform very well after a couple of these. Anthony right. I may not have duende, but i have valentines. [ curo speaking spanish ] anthony cachondo . I know that expression. Wait a minute. Alicia yeah. [ laughs ] [ anthony laughs ] anthony right.

You may think you know what a tapa is, like if youve had small bites at some fusion hipster bar where they do a whole lot of little plates. Yeah. That aint a tapa. Anthony so how often do you do this a week . Zack i do it five days a week. Anthony dude. Zack its fuen sat saturday. Zack its rare not to do this. But, you know, its like on the weekend, you come out for a bunch. The weekday, you come out for one. Anthony this is la tana, a little place run by sommelier, jesus and louisa, brother and sister one bartender, one cook, taking care of everything. Fuen tapa is for free. Thats the main issue of the tapa. Anthony so, youre just paying for the wine . Fuen exactly. Anthony so if i were like a degenerate wino, i could still eat well . Zack yeah. Anthony as long as i could afford my wine, id eat. Zack thats right. Fuen cheers. Anthony let us put this theory into practice. With our first round of drinks comes this. Fuen this is tomato with bread, garlic, olive oil, and blended. Anthony yeah, i could pretty much eat that all day long. Zack yeah. Anthony thats right, tapas are free. It shouldnt work but somehow it does. Another drink, another tapa. Anthony tomatoes, olive oil, bread. Fuen yeah. Zack yeah. Fuen awesome. And this for me is just amazing. Anthony so i just all i gotta do is keep drinking and im going to eat like a king . Zack yeah, and youll keep eating here, yeah. Although, uh, uh, maybe youll be interested in caviar here. Anthony really . Zack yeah. Anthony thats not included with my, uh . Zack no. Well fuen well, thats another point of the tapas. Zack yes. Fuen usually, you have a few tapas and then, you know, you ask for a anthony you start to get hungry . Fuen yeah, you ask for a portion. Zack exactly. Fuen you ask for a portion. Anthony right. Zack theyre just hooking you in with it. Anthony so its all a scam, man. Zack it is a scam. Anthony they li a couple of little nibbles, the next thing you know, youre ordering, uh, 200 grams of caviar. Caviar aint free, my friend. Delicious, entirely sustainable spanish caviar from farmed river sturgeon. Zack its funny you can come in a place like this, get anthony bread with tomato. Zack yeah, or anthony some high caste caviar. Zack oh, oh, oh. Fuen you guys are going to eat the whole thing in one spoon. Im going to anthony im sorry, is there something wrong with that . Not even married yet, its nag, nag, nag. [ zack and fuen laughs ] anthony next place, lets do it. Ah, tapas, what a novel concept. Theres even a verb for it. Meaning, to take tapas, as in, if we were going to some more, were going to have to elbow past this crowd of catholics here. Zack is it extra insane because its santo semana . Yes. But, its always busy here, man. Fuen oh boy. Zack the bar we were going is just on the other side. Anthony maybe, uh, we go around. With parades crisscrossing the city in every direction, the steady drumbeat warns that your route is about to be cut off entirely for the next 40 minutes. Zack we can cross. We can cross. Fuen zack, we have to go around. Zack where . Going around, going around, going around. Fuen but we need to walk fast. Zack perdon, perdon, perdon, gracias. Perdon, senora. [ woman speaking spanish ] [ zack speaking spanish ] zack perdon. Gracias. Anthony people take their processions very seriously here and arent exactly accommodating to anyone who threatens to block the view. Zack that was amazing. Right . Wasnt that cool . See, tell me theres not so duende in their music. Come on. Fuen it isnt duende in that music. Zack there is some duende. Anthony finally, bar number two, oliver. This place is always packed. Beer, please. And with it comes a delightful tapa of mussels steamed in butter and olive oil. Zack oh thats a look at that. Thats a great tapa. Come on. This is whats different. Anthony right. Zack people come in here and they will eat like this, perfectly happy, perfectly content to forego the table, come out here and stand around and eat like this. Fuen exactly. Anthony fuens glass of wine comes with fried eggplant and honey, which sounds to me like its moorish in origin. More wine accompanied by these delicious little clams. Anthony oh, yeah and the main event. Zack oh, oh. Anthony now we are talking. Yes. These langoustines, however, are not tapas, and consequently not free. But worth it at any price. Anthony thats so totally awesome. Oh, we did good work here. Zack anything else, tony shall we go on . Anthony no, lets move on. Zack all right. Fuen lets move on. Anthony as this death march of tapas continues, things start to get a little weird. This is the story of my life. Fuen is it . Anthony he doesnt do this at home, does he, ever . Fuen no. No, thank god. So now i understand how you feel when anthony yes. Fuen every day. Anthony good. Finally, a little empathy. I do like the increasingly meta aspect of this show. I should really be live streaming. That would really be interesting. [ laughter ] anthony finally, bar gallardo, just making it before closing. Now, lets be honest. Weve had a lot to eat and drink at this point. Some restraint needs to be shown. Zack little fried fishies . What do you think . Anthony okay, fried fish. Zack a little one. Anthony little ones. Zack then were done. Anthony and cheese. But instead, three more beers, three more tapas. Cheese. Bocarones, little fried smelts. And chuletitas, baby lamb chops. Fuen these are super good. Anthony these are super good. See, im uncomfortable the idea of something for nothing. Zack right. Its not something for nothing. Its all anthony 3 for a glass of wine is something for nothing. Zack yeah, but if somebody can get them after in the u. S. , thisll take off. Anthony no, never. Zack really . Anthony we will never have it in america. Never, ever. Zack really . Come on. Anthony ever. Youre looking to change the entire day from the minute you get up in the morning in america you nap in the afternoon . Are you out of your mind . Zack i want to be able to go down, walk to my bar, i want to have a little beer. Anthony yeah, i want a golden unicorn that shits money. Both of those scenarios are equally likely. [ zack laughs ] im a verizon engineer, and im part of the Team Building the most powerful 5g experience for america. Its 5g ultra wideband for massive capacity and ultrafast speeds. Almost 2 gigs here in minneapolis. Thats 25 times faster than todays network in new york city. So people from midtown manhattan to downtown denver can experience what our 5g can deliver. woman and if verizon 5g can deliver performance like this in these places. Its pretty crazy. Just imagine what it can do for you. And my lack of impulse control, is about to become your problem. Ahh no, come on. I saw you eating poop earlier. Hey my focus is on the road, and thats saving me cash with drivewise. Whos the dummy now . Whoof whoof so get allstate where good drivers save 40 for avoiding mayhem, like me. Sorry hes a baby anthony every storybook kingdom needs a castle. Grenada, its got a good one. The alhambra. One of the most enchanted, inscrutable, maddenly beautiful structures ever created by man. Built atop ninthcentury fortifications by the nasrid dynasty, and added to and added to as history unfolded through wars and tragedy and invasion and conquest. Zack on the outside, its very bare. All you see is these tiny windows. Anthony right. Zack and its projecting impenetrability. But then you come in here. Anthony zack has gone, well, lets call it what it is a bit mad about the place. The details, and there are a lot of them, can obsess a man. Plus, hes a cinematographer, so you can understand once you start to really look around how that might get a grip on a guy whose profession is the intricate play between light and darkness. Zack my theory is that they were trying to weave nature, calligraphy, symbols. These are all inscriptions within here. Inscriptions turned into graphics. You know. Anthony right, because, uh, the islamic argue not to depict works of god. Zack yes, but what you can depict, and this is what this entire place is, is geometric systems. Anthony yes. When the nasrid dynasty lived here, it was a harmonious space where light, shade, water, the transit of the moons and the stars were harnessed and glorified. Zack i think the best assumption is nothing is random. They came here and laid out everything according to some anthony a plan, man. This was a place for reflection. Each element of design presumably intended to have effects both psychological and religious. Zack its really a cinematographers paradise, cause everything is about light and math. Obviously, they werent cinematographers, but everything is framing for them. Anthony how long did it take them, uh, to build this . Zack hundreds of years. Anthony thats why it takes so long for you to get the shot . Oh, snap. [ zack laughs ] anthony in the builders time, engineers, astronomers, mathematicians were like priests. Magicians. Possessors of divine knowledge. How the universe worked. Did they want to contemplate nature . Or did they want to conquer it, control it . Zack i mean, they were certainly trying to emulate it. You know, all their mathematics were really trying to find out how nature worked, particularly square roots and the repetition of pattern. Anthony they say mathematical patterns in the sky and on earth. The way water moved and rippled. The way things grew. The simple pine cone, a fern, a pomegranate. And they thought about the basic truths these things might represent. Zack these symmetries can all be shuffled, spun on any point, and they align again with themselves. So, if you stretched them out, for them, they pointed to infinity. Anthony we will understand all things. Zack through contemplating sacred geometry. Anthony how did nature unfold . Pattern itself . Could the basic designs of nature, even if divine, be replicated in this magnificent structure . Trying to solve the riddle of god here. Zack exactly.

You know, to have this kind of music and this food and this kind of culture, uh, to look out the window and to see spain. Juan problem is one thing. Anthony yeah . Juan family. Anthony yeah. Juan family is very, very, very important. Anthony right, see, he did it right. Hes marrying into a spanish family in grenada. Juan right. Anthony its cheating, man. Juan yeah. Anthony its very smart. Juan hes very lucky. Anthony i know, i know. Juan and a smart guy. Anthony right. Look, no ones going to dare dream of this, because this is too much to dream for. This is, uh, extraordinary. Juan yeah. Anthony but an ordinary life in spain looks pretty good to me. We made usaa insurance for members like martin. An air force veteran made of doing whats right, not whats easy. So when a hailstorm hit, usaa reached out before he could even inspect the damage. Thats how you do it right.
