Spain...On the Road Again was a culinary travel show produced by Frappe Productions and starring celebrity chef Mario Batali along with Gwyneth Paltrow, Mark Bittman, and Claudia Bassols. The show premiered in 2010 and was filmed over the course of eight weeks as the group traveled through various regions of Spain.

Throughout the series, the group explored the unique culture and cuisine of Spain, visiting markets, vineyards, restaurants, and local hotspots to sample traditional meals and learn about regional cooking techniques. Batali, Paltrow, Bittman, and Bassols were joined by local chefs and food experts who helped guide them through each destination and introduce them to new ingredients and dishes.

The series was divided into eight episodes, each focusing on a different region of Spain. The first episode explored the culinary scene in Barcelona, with the group visiting iconic restaurants like El Bulli and sampling classic dishes like paella and pintxos. From there, they traveled to Valencia, where they learned about the importance of rice in Spanish cuisine and met with local fishermen to sample fresh seafood.

In episode three, the group headed to Granada to explore the region's Moorish influences and sample local favorites like gazpacho and jamón ibérico. They then traveled to Mallorca to learn about traditional dishes like ensaïmada and sobrasada before heading to Rioja to visit local vineyards and taste some of the region's famous wines.

The series also visited Andalusia, where they explored the city of Seville and its vibrant nightlife, as well as the traditional town of Ronda, famous for its bullfighting and tapas. The group then headed to the Basque region, sampling delicacies like pintxos and txakoli while exploring the city of San Sebastián.

The seventh episode saw the group travel to Madrid, where they visited food markets, sampled jamón ibérico, and indulged in classic dishes like cocido madrileño. Finally, in the last episode, the group returned to Barcelona to reflect on their culinary journey and sample some of the city's famous sweets.

Spain...On the Road Again was a unique culinary travelogue that captured the spirit of Spain's diverse cultural and culinary landscape. With its stunning cinematography, engaging hosts, and mouth-watering dishes, the series was a feast for both the eyes and the taste buds. While the show was short-lived, it remains a must-see for anyone interested in Spanish culture and cuisine.
