Portillo's Andalucia

Michael Portillo travels the Spanish region of Andaluciia meeting local people who share their passions. In Granada, he meets a food writer and tries his hand at a potter's wheel.

In the coastal city of Malaga, Michael enjoys one of Spain's biggest street parties: the Feria. He also visits the incredible hilltop town of Ronda, and stops off at a vineyard.

Michael visits the ancient city of Cordoba and the Costa del Sol, savouring the mixture of Roman, Muslim, and Christian civilisations and meeting an olive oil farmer.

Michael visits the busiest fishing port in Andalucia, stops off in Huelva city to follow in the footsteps of Christopher Columbus and visits the stunning Gruta de las Maravillas caves.

Michael takes part in an exercise to hoist the mainsail of an 80-metre long tall ship, and learns why world sherry capital Jerez is also the home of the flamenco guitar.

Michael finishes his Andalucian odyssey, taking us to two places he knows best - the capital city of Sevilla, and Carmona where he lives - taking in the Metropol Parasol and tapas.
