DVD Description
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 Palamós 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.

Rick Stein serves up yet another culinary odyssey this time from Spain. Peppered with the usual literary anecdotes Rick takes us on a gastro-tour of all things Spanish. As always, Rick heads straight for the real side of the local cuisine by going for the street food, no Michelin stuff here, just traditional Spanish food native-style and the usual investigation of the classic country specific products, including in this series, Chorizo and Iberica Ham amongst others. Rick shows us a repository of Iberica Ham which we are told is worth a few million Euros, and I can quite believe it. If you are a fan already, then this will satisfy, if you are not, then get ready to enjoy a journey through the food of Spain presented in Ricks friendly and enthusiastic manner. By far the most engaging foodie on the box. Highly recommended.

Well, though there is a wealth of Flash FLA at the beginning of the DVD, I found it just as interesting as the TV series, but better in a way. There are several items in each episode that I wanted to repeat and copy down how Rick actually 'knocks up' his recipes.
As for that customer who says it's not what they expected. Just what did they expect? I expected the DVDs to be the same as the TV series and they are.

Rick Stein's Spain is part three of his European odyssey (after France and the Med). He brings his boyish enthusiasm to a trip around Spain in a friend's camper van (which actually adds little to the show). Starting in the north at Bilbao he drives through regions often not visited by documentary crews, always looking for the food eaten by locals and being delighted by the obvious enthusiasm of European people for their local foods. Sometimes I wish that he wouldn't be so defensive - like Keith Floyd before him, referring endlessly to the "salt police" and admiring the ability to smoke in Spanish restaurants, but his obvious love and respect for food and those who cook it shines through.
A good DVD transfer but no extras on the disk. A good buy.
