Spain: Journeys Through the Land
of the Builders |
|
A symbol of modern Europe, Barcelona is a city renowned for its exceptional
architecture, where Gothic and Art Nouveau styles are married in rare
harmony. A unique pearl set in a precious jewel case, Barcelona is the
capital of Catalonia, where street festivals are spontaneous happenings,
revealing their secular, folkloric traditions. From the Middle Ages Catalans
have been a strong, proud people, loving freedom above all things.
This title is from the collection THE GREATEST JOURNEYS ON EARTH.
This collection of thirteen one-hour documentaries suggests unusual
itineraries through some of the most beautiful places on earth. Each journey
takes the viewer beyond the usual commonplace clichés of travel
destinations. Instead, through geography, history, architecture, culture,
celebrations, leisure activities and gastronomy, viewers are able to
appreciate the art of living in each destination. With interviews, visits,
lavish meals and celebrations, viewers become aware of the richly-textured
history of these great destinations.
Each program investigates the history and progress of a skill, a means of
expression, or a practical discovery that has become an integral part of
economic life in a world-famous region. In this way, each story paints a
historical portrait and reveals a way of life. The Greatest Journeys on
Earth brings viewers into the network of inns and castles in each
destination. Gastronomy, leisure, and reminders of celebrities who marked
the history of these sites allow viewers to relive, in the present, the
magnificent times of the past.
