Eva Longoria follows up ‘Searching for Mexico' with a trip to Spain
Over eight episodes, Longoria will travel everywhere from Seville to Barcelona to the Basque region to sample each region's signature delicacies. As Longoria makes her way around Spain, she'll reach even further back into her family tree than she did in 'Searching for Mexico.' 'Eleven generations ago, one of my ancestors left Spain for the New World and a new life,' she says in the series' trailer. '400 years later, I'm back!' Does this mean her ancestors were conquistadors…? Whether the show will risk harshing the 'Eat, Pray, Love' vibe by answering that particularly thorny question in between paellas remains unclear. Either way, there's no doubt Longoria's personal relationship with the subject matter provides not just a useful anchor for the show, but a crucial connection for her audience to latch onto as well. Advertisement Choosing to tour a single country immediately sharpens the show's focus. But in recent years, the 'celebrity puts their passport to work' format should be familiar to anyone who's even so much as glanced at their TV listings. Before she became the new host of 'Top Chef,' Need more proof? Look no further than the timeslot directly following 'Searching for Spain,' when CNN will premiere the new series 'My Happy Place.' As you can probably guess from the title, this particular variation on the travel show theme will follow people like Oscar winner Octavia Spencer and 'The Traitors' host Alan Cumming to their favorite destinations (New Orleans and the Scottish Highlands, respectively). Obviously, I'd prefer to take all these vacations — and eat all that fabulous food — myself. In the meantime, though, I guess I'll just keep torturing myself by watching others do it for me.

A Smith College graduate, Framke is currently based in New York City. Advertisement

Eva Longoria stuns in a bandeau dress as she arrives at a NYC screening for her new TV show which explores her love for Spain after her relocation from the US
Eva Longoria turned heads as she arrived at the CNN Eva Longoria: Searching for Spain screening in New York City on Monday evening. The American actress, 50, looked incredible as she cut a stylish figure in a bandeau dress, featuring a button-up fastening, an inner white lining, and a cinched waist. She added inches to her frame with a pair of white court stiletto heels as she struck several poses for the camera. The former Desperate Housewives star further accessorised her look with statement drop earrings. Eva has been busy promoting her forthcoming Searching for Spain series, which premieres on CNN on April 27. It will follow her as she embarks on a gastronomic pilgrimage through Madrid, San Sebastian, Barcelona, Seville and more, where she explores her ties to the country and shares the hidden gems that have helped make it a 'personal favourite.' In the first look trailer, released in February, Eva explained that her ancestors left Spain four centuries ago. 'Eleven generations ago, one of my ancestors left Spain for the new world and new life,' she said. 'Four hundred years later, I'm back to see how the land and its people have created one of the world's most exciting cuisines,' the actress teased. Her appearance at the screening comes shortly after she appeared on Live With Kelly and Mark on Monday morning, discussing her recent move to Europe. The 50-year-old Searching for Spain star splits her time between Mexico and Spain with husband José Bastón and their five-year-old son Santiago. Eva — who is a Corpus Christi, Texas native with Spanish heritage — revealed she was drawn to the Andalucía region of Spain. It's there where she enjoys chiringuitos, which are small beach bars and restaurants where people indulge in tapas and drinks. 'I know that region the most because I've been going there for 20 years,' the actress said to the morning show hosts. Eva also discussed the passing of Pope Francis, after she paid tribute to the beloved Catholic figure online. She shared a memorable story of meeting him two months before her 2016 wedding to José. 'I was so fortunate to meet him. He actually blessed Pepe and I right before we got married,' she recalled, using her husband's nickname. Eva detailed, 'We went to Rome and my husband was like, "Do you want to meet the Pope?" And I was like, "Yes!"'
