FLAVOURS OF MEXICO

THE COLONIAL HEARTLAND. Presenter Charlie Ottley explores Mexico's dusty heartland and the beguilingly beautiful state of Michoacan where he learns some culinary tips from the Purepechan Indians, visits a town buried by lava and gets tangled up in the famous Day of the Dead Festival. We also take you to San Miguel de Allende, the quintessential colonial city where Charlie saddles up to try his hand as a Mexican Ranchero and ends up wearing a crown of thorns in what is described as the Sistine chapel of the Americas.
