"In the land of free tapas, Bourdain tests the limits of Spain’s tradition of all-you-can-eat appetizers that accompany as-long-as-you’re-still-standing wine. He travels with cameraman Zach Zamboni and his fiancée, Fuen. They squeeze through the crowded parade processions of Catholicism’s Semana Santa (Holy Week) in Granada and have a relaxing meal at Fuen’s family home."
