After so many mountain passes, dusty plains and rather shabby villages the blue sea of the Mediterranean beckons, in this two-part episode,Rick is invited to a beautiful beach party at La Pelosa, where everyone gets stuck into preparing lunch. Continuing his journey through the spectacular countryside, far removed from the high-rise holiday destinations of the Costa Brava, he seeks out an old mill, El Moli, a restaurant and a magical place his boyhood friend Mark told him about years ago. Rick also eats some of the best seafood in the country, including prawns from Palamos, best simply tossed in a hot pan with sea salt - sweet and succulent.
