We know that Italy and Northern Europe are renowned for their art, but what about Spain? In this absorbing and original series, Spanish art gains centre stage as art historian Andrew Graham-Dixon goes on the road to reveal the fabulous art treasures of the country. Travelling from the south to the north he explores some of Europe''s most important artists from Renaissance to Modernist - including Goya, Picasso, Dali, El Greco and Velasquez. And, going ''off the beaten track'', he reveals rich insights into the culture and people who live and work with the greatest Spanish art and architecture every day. From Moorish art and the Islamic legacy on Spain and Europe to Modernism, Seville to Barcelona, food and wine, Andrew reveals that Spanish culture is every bit as rich as Italy''s, with a more surprising edge.

If you like both history and art this is a well presented 3 part story of the title. Beautifully filmed and narrated without some of the unnecessary chatter and music dominating the show.

I think that the more recent History of Russia was rather better but that is a personal preference of an elderly armchair traveller who no longer likes the crowds and queues.
