Andalusia is some of Portillo's best work, and there are no trains in sight! Unlike some of his previous series, like the southeast Asian one, there is no attempt here to shoehorn trains into what are clearly programs about culture, food, drink, and dramatic scenery. This series covers all the big cities in Andalusia, and also spends one episode on a rural area little know to British people. His love of the region is evident, and I wasn't aware he had moved there until watching this. Portillo is no Bettany Hughes, but nevertheless the series explains at a reasonable level and is worth watching even if you have no idea who he is.
