Reception

Rosie Jackson of "Open Magazine" said that "the programme proffers the best bits of Spanish art minus the tourists and the baking heat", and that the series is "undoubtedly a visual feast; low-brow, but none the worse for that."

"If only all presenters were as good as Andrew Graham-Dixon." Continuing her praise for the host of the series, Serena Davies of "The Daily Telegraph" said that his "genial, eloquent presence was an asset to even the most over-familiar shot of the Alhambra."
