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 andalusia in southern spain. it's not like barcelona. it's not like san sebastian. it ain't madrid. any reasonably 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. spain is the sort of place that never really made any sense anyway, and in the very best possible way. this is the 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. the effects and influences of all those things are right here to see.
10:03 pm
you can almost look back through time and through the mists of history and see the phoenicians marching up across the vega, or are those feral hippies? an influx of hippies many of whom appear to have set up squats in the caves of the mountain have made things interesting. when you ask what do you do? and you say we are staging the moon landing. wherever you are on the ideological spectrum, however, some things are constant, it seems. some stereotypical expectations. it's true, there are free tapas everywhere. yes, they do actually take siestas, which is a civilized damn thing to do as far as i can see. flamenco, yes, they do that also. but in granada, they do it old school. and oh yeah, bullfighting. they do that here, too. but i digress. i'm here, actually, to answer a question. what happens if you go over to the other side?
10:04 pm
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, zach zamboni, is finding out. so where are we going? >> right here, one of these tables. which maybe we want to do like this with? see? how often can you go out with somebody can properly block the table? >> it's a misery is what it is. >> oh, boy. >> ay, yes, of course. snails in an almond sauce. about as traditional and as delicious as it gets. that's a plate full of perfect happiness. >> great tapas, right? >> that's right. tapas come from here. this is still one of the few places in spain where they're free.

all you have to do is keep drinking. >> you can sit here all day. just order a couple drinks. >> right. no rush. plan on spending some time here. red wine ordered. tripes to follow. tender, spicy, delicious tripe. >> sun, plaza, guts. pretty [ bleep ] good. >> hello. hello! >> not too long ago, before zach basically defected to spain, he met fuen. the next thing you know, he's 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? >> well, it depends on the woman, first, but usually we look for this kind of person that we know he will protect us. >> from what? feral hippies? >> for example, you know -- >> i would like to do the vows of your wedding.
10:06 pm
do you, zach zamboni swear to protect fuen sanchez from any attacks by feral cave-dwelling hippies who attempt to sell her jewelry or other things of little value. >> i figure now that zach is marrying into a spanish family, i can piggyback along for a bit. suck up a little of the magic, live off of what has been my dream, too. >> if we can get weird for a second here, man. >> oh, boy. >> some places, do they have an energy, man, about them? >> what are you saying, man? >> you know, i don't want to get into metaphysics or -- you know, some places we go. >> you're going to end up living in a cave if you keep talking like this. more wine. 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
