Madrid with Michael Portillo - Episode Guide

In the city he's adored since the 1960s, Michael takes us for lunch in the Malasana district, witnesses some classical street dancing, and visits the enormously opulent Royal Palace.

Michael enjoys some traditional chocolate and churros, remembers a childhood trip to the vast and restful El Retiro Park, and visits Madrid's Golden Triangle of art galleries.

Michael enjoys a lunch of suckling pig but tries some mouthwatering vegan food too. He also learns about the part the staunchly republican city played in the Spanish Civil War.
