Monty Don embarks on a journey across Spain, covering more than 4,000 kilometres to visit some of its most interesting gardens, community projects and parks in order to get under the skin of the country. His trips range from historic imperial palaces to cutting-edge modern gardens created by a new wave of Spanish designers working more closely with the landscape and the challenges of the harsh climate.

In this first episode, Monty travels across central Spain. He begins at the vast, imposing palace and garden of the Escorial before heading for Madrid, Toledo, other parts of Castile and finally Valencia, visiting such gardens as a tropical garden in a railway station, the garden of a former Andalusian palace and a park formed out of a disused riverbed.
