    The conversation between Mr. Portillo and Lorca's niece was heartbreaking., especially when recalling the painful memories of how his dad was not allowed back into Spain until 1959. Horrific! However, His mom seems to have been totally committed to making sure that her children should all get to know their dad's homeland. Extremely touching.
    In the end, so many innocent lives were forever destroyed by Spain's unforgivingly cruel civil war. What a beautiful country and yet with such tragic recent history a mere 88 years ago. Thankfully, Spain is an infinitely more open-minded and liberal society nowadays. God bless the Spanish people.

    We have just spent last November in Spain and Portugal and can say with confidence that no other city in the Iberic peninsula is more beautiful than Granada. We can't wait to return. Thanks Michael for such a great program.

    Did visit Granada 54 years ago and we had the lucky chance that there was room in the Parador it was hors season. After diner we took a stroll into the garden and some young people who lived inside the compounds were singing spontaneous the most famous song of Granada. Almost a fairytale that will stay in my memory for the rest of my life.

    I watched this on the train from Madrid to Granada. So I had dinner at the Chikita restaurant and had the snails (it’s January so the salad and gazpacho weren’t really appealing). We ate the Pio Nono cakes (lovely), looked at the Parador even though it was out of our budget, and went to an authentic Flamenco similar to his. And we saw the Alhambra with the backdrop of the snow capped Sierra Nevadas. He’s right it is the best way to see it.

    There is no part in Europe like Spain ! The mixture of every culture. So you also has something of Spaniard. That is the truth

    As a Black American, I'm intentfully curious as to why I never heard you use the term "Moorish?" Instead, you continually used the terms "Muslim" and "Islamic" throughout this episode, and seemingly intentionally so as if the word "Moorish" was a term of opprobrium and/or dreadful disdain. For me, this comes off as archaically elitist and institutionally racist. And I hope you are astutely cognizant of the fact that the term "12-beat Moorish rhythm," which is the one of the hallmarks of Flamenco music and dance, isn't called the "12-beat Islamic rhythm." The *MOORS* are the North African people of Berber descent (as was the Afro-Syrian Severan Dynasty founder, the Roman Emperor Septimius Severus) who conquered and ruled Spain from AD 711 to 1492, and introduced Islam to the Iberian peninsula! *And don't you ever forget that!*
