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. it's not like barcelona, it's not like san sebastian, it ain't madrid. any reasonable sentient person who looks at spain, comes to spain, eats in spain, drinks in spain, they're going to fall in love. otherwise, there's something deeply wrong with you. [ man chuckles ] >> anthony: spain's 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.
