The next location is the town of Ronda, suggested by Anton's Spanish mum, and one of the most photographed places in Spain.

Other adventures include a cruise off the coast of Marbella, visiting Granada, home to one of the country's most visited tourist attractions, the Alhambra, a Unesco world heritage site and the Sacromonte district which is the birth place of Flamenco.

In the second leg of their journey they will visit the rural flatlands just outside Valencia in search of some paella, from here they will travel to the Spanish capital of Madrid for the Paloma Fiesta and attend a traditional Paso Doble dance competition.
