If you're a fan of great food and even greater adventures, you're in for a treat with Eva Longoria's newest series on CNN, Eva Longoria: Searching for Spain. Eva, known for her charm on screen and her passion off-screen, is taking us on a personal journey to explore Spain's vibrant flavors and rich history.
Eva Longoria has always been more than just an actress. With a resume that spans acting, producing, directing, and activism, she brings her signature energy and genuine enthusiasm to every project. Now, with the series, she's blending her love for culture with her deep family roots in Spain.
Discovering Spanish Culture and Cuisine
In "Searching for Spain," Eva embarks on a culinary pilgrimage that feels more like a family reunion than a typical travel show. Imagine strolling through sun-soaked plazas, sampling pintxos on a lively bar crawl in San Sebastián, and savoring Catalan prawns in Barcelona. Each stop is a chance to connect with Spain's diverse regions, from the classic Spanish tortilla in Madrid to mouthwatering jamon in Andalucía.
Eva isn't just tasting food—she's diving into history and tradition. In Galicia, she relishes fresh seafood and even world-class Galician blonde beef, while a visit to Asturias offers a glimpse into local cider mills and cherished family ties that still run deep in her bloodline.
A Personal and Playful Adventure
What sets this series apart is the personal touch Eva brings to every episode. She talks about how Spain's vibrant culture and bold cuisine have captivated her for years. The journey is as much about discovering her heritage as it is about enjoying the flavors of the land. And later in the series, you'll even catch a sneak peek into her new Spanish home in Marbella, where she hosts a cozy feast for her closest friends.
"Spain's rich culture, passionate people and bold and diverse cuisines have captivated me as long as I can remember, especially knowing that one of my Mexican-American ancestors has deep roots in this remarkable country," said Longoria. "The opportunity to immerse myself in Spain's many regions, to discover its fascinating history, to indulge in its dynamic culinary traditions and innovations has been nothing short of exhilarating. I am so excited to finally share this incredible journey with the world!"
