This program tells the story of Granada, which is the history of Spain encapsulated: the Moorish conquest and the Moorish presence—art, technology, military might, wealth, religious devotion, indecipherable inscriptions, all somewhat mysterious to the non-Islamic eye; and the Reconquista—an 800-year-long war that is seen here only in its after-effects, ruins and a sense of something ineffable, inexpressible, unattainable lost forever.
