Five-part film series on the great rivers of Spain and Portugal
by Michael Gregor

For the modern explorer, the rivers Guadiana, Ebro, Tajo/Tejo, Duero/Douro and Guadalquivir are guides to the unknown Spain and Portugal “behind the mountains”, where yesterday and today form a fascinating mixture. Following their trail, one can still find them, “forgotten” places with unusual people and their often strange biographies. Mysterious underworlds with hidden traces of the past and lonely plateaus. Again and again, grandiose natural panoramas and romantic corners far from the tourist catalogues impress. But even in the river metropolises there are still surprising things to discover: stories that are shaped by people with enthusiasm and a love of life.
