Using his friend s old campervan, Rick Stein climbs aboard to travel the length and breadth of Spain in search of a culinary "duende" - a flamenco term, implying a sense of soul, expression and authenticity. From Galicia, the Basque country and Catalonia to Castilla-La Mancha and Andalusia, Rick samples his way through the specialities and hidden treats of each region, including the famous Asturian fabada, a hearty bean stew; pintxos, delicious Basque tapas; the sweet and succulent prawns of Palamos in Catalonia and food influenced by the New World in the Antigua Abaceria of Seville. Along the way Rick savours the delights and atmosphere of the cider festival at Gijon, the snail festival in Lleida and a spectacular paella festival in Valencia, as well as observing the skills on display at vineyards, beach parties, garlic farms, secret Cabrales cheese caves and much more.
