Salamanca, tomorrow's protagonist on La2's program 'También entre los pucheros anda el Señor'
The RTVE team dispatched to Salamanca had the support of the Salamanca City Council, through the Salamanca Film Commission
Tomorrow, Saturday, Salamanca will be featured in La2's program “También entre los pucheros anda el Señor” (The Lord also walks among the pots), which will air at 3:00 PM.
The filming, which took place at the Parador de Salamanca in May, shows the most human side of Teresa of Jesus. The documentary series consists of seven episodes, each lasting 30 minutes, and began airing on October 17th on RTVE through La2.
The series aims to explore the architectural, literary, spiritual, and gastronomic legacy, as well as the tourist potential, of the towns in Spain that make up the 'Footprints of Teresa' pilgrimage routes, which visit the cities where Teresa of Jesus founded convents: Ávila, Medina del Campo, Malagón, Valladolid, Toledo, Pastrana, Salamanca, Alba de Tormes, Segovia, Beas de Segura, Sevilla, Caravaca de la Cruz, Villanueva de la Jara, Palencia, Soria, Granada, and Burgos. Additionally, Alcalá de Henares is incorporated into the gastronomic series due to its special connection with Santa Teresa and Paradores de España.
The series is part of the events scheduled to commemorate the 5th Centenary of the birth of Teresa of Jesus and narrates unknown aspects of her life such as her childhood, youth, and sense of humor, using gastronomy as a common thread. In each episode, a typical dish from the era is cooked with the same ingredients that were used in the years when the first female Doctor of the Catholic Church lived. For the project, chef Sergio Fernández enters the kitchens of the National Paradores in the cities where the documentary was filmed.
The RTVE team sent to Salamanca had the support of the Salamanca City Council, through the Salamanca Film Commission, which processed filming permits at Teresa de Jesús' House, the Convent of San Esteban, the cathedrals, and the University's Historic Building; numerous exteriors were also filmed, such as the Plaza Mayor, Anaya, Compañía street, the Unamuno campus, the Roman Bridge, and the Multipurpose Building Sánchez Paraíso.
“También entre pucheros anda el Señor” was directed by veteran RTVE filmmaker Belén Molinero and had the support of National Paradores and the city councils of Salamanca, Ávila, Toledo, Alba de Tormes, Segovia, Caravaca de la Cruz, Granada, and Alcalá de Henares.
