Joe Lycett is back with a brand new series of Travel Man: 48 Hours In… later this month on Channel 4.
The new run begins at 8.30pm on Friday 10 January. Comedian David O’Doherty joins Joe in Málaga, on Spain’s Costa del Sol, for a fast and funny two-day trial of the best the Costa has to offer. After a stroll around some of Málaga’s most memorable attractions, they head inland for a walk along the spectacular Caminito del Rey footpath, which clings to the side of a cliff face, 100 metres above the ground. Their next attraction is the International Museum of Nativity Scene Art. This huge museum, in the tiny town of Mollina, is home to the world’s largest collection of nativity scenes; over 70 with more than 2000 painstakingly handmade figures. Back in Málaga, they head to Antigua Casa de Guardia, the city’s oldest bar, where wine is poured directly from barrels that are more than 100 years old. On day two David and Joe head down the coast to Marbella for a dolphin spotting trip. Back in Málaga, they learn the secrets of cooking the perfect sardine, before visiting Pablo Picasso’s birthplace and creating their own cubist masterpieces at an art class. Finally, at Colomares Castle – an extravagant architectural oddity dedicated to Christopher Columbus – they assess Málaga’s merits.
The series continues on 17th January with a visit to Rotterdam. Joe’s joined by The Last Leg presenter Alex Brooker for a two-day tour of the Dutch city of Rotterdam. After taking the train direct from London, they launch into a break full of unusual activities, attractions and flavours. For accommodation, they swerve hotels in favour of Wikkelboats; eco-friendly floating houses insulated with corrugated cardboard, that come complete with hot tubs on deck. Once they’re settled in, they book onto the Rooftop tour, taking in some of the most interesting roofs and views in Rotterdam, including a farm and the oldest skyscraper in Europe.
