Gwyneth Paltrow’s Spain travel show to hit PBS in September

Gwyneth Paltrow, celebrity chef Mario Batali, food book author and New York Times food columnist Mark Bittman, and Spanish actress Claudia Bassols (who *gasp*doesn’t have a Wikipedia page!) will star in a show called “Spain…On The Road Again”, documenting their travels across Spain.

I like all these celebrities but would watch it just for Paltrow, who by the way sounds like she speaks fluent Spanish. The show is food-centric so they really couldn’t have chosen a better country to start than Spain.

I’m a bit disappointed with the name of the show though: 1) Extremely uncreative (“On The Road” are probably the 3 most commonly used words in travel, and, being a food/travel show, you’d think there would be some reference to that in the title, 2) Why the “again”?

Anyway, what’s in a name, eh? It’s a 13 part series that was shot in 2 months across the country. You can watch a sneak preview of the show here.

Sometimes I wish I was an actor just so I could have my own travel show when I felt like it. No, vlogging is not the same. Sigh.
