BBC One - Anton & Giovanni's Adventures in Spain, Series 1, Episode 2

It's Benidorm or bust as Anton and Giovanni take on the Costa Blanca.

Anton and Giovanni’s epic road trip across Spain continues, and it's Benidorm or bust as the boys take on the Costa Blanca before heading to the country’s capital, Madrid.

Anton Du Beke and Giovanni Pernice continue their Spanish adventure with a stay in one of the UK's favourite holiday hot spots, Benidorm, the party capital of the Costa Blanca.

Taking in an aqua aerobics class and the entertainment Spain’s ‘Las Vegas’ has to offer, they head off for the European mainland’s only desert, Tabernas, where Anton is able to indulge his childhood obsession with Hollywood westerns, not to mention he and Giovanni performing a new take on his legendary performance of Me and My Shadow with Sir Bruce Forsyth. 

They travel on to the rural flatlands just outside Valencia, the birthplace of paella, before getting back on the road and travelling to the country’s capital city, Madrid. It's famous not only for its museums and art galleries but also its traffic, so the boys ditch the car, with Giovanni going off in search of an alternative mode of transport for a sightseeing tour of the city, culminating in Madrid’s spellbinding Plaza Mayor, with Giovanni putting Anton’s dislike of street food to the test.

For their last night in Madrid, the boys head out to party, soaking up the atmosphere of a festival weekend in the capital. They start the evening off at a paso doble dance competition, before finding what looks like the whole city dancing in the streets.
