Where is Rick Stein's Road To Mexico filmed?
In Rick Stein's Road to Mexico, the celebrity chef travels from Northern California to (you guessed it!) Mexico.
The 70-year-old is retracing his steps from a road trip he embarked on nearly 50 years ago, in 1958.
Rick will drive down the Pacific Coast Highway to the Mexican border, and beyond.
San Francisco Bay
The first show starts in the bay of San Francisco, California. Here, the chef samples oyster pancakes and sourdough bread.
It's also the place where a young Rick got his first taste of Mexican food. Enchiladas, guacamole and burritos became real to the chef in this town.
Olvera Street
Rick will then travel down the Californian coastline, past citrus groves and vineyards.
This route will take him to Los Angeles - and an iconic area of Downtown LA called Olvera Street.
Here, there's a famous Mexican marketplace with street vendors, cafes, restaurants and painted market stalls.
This market is at the heart of LA's Hispanic roots, and many of market traders are descended from those who originally sold there.
San Diego
Rick then journeys further south to San Diego, where he meets the oldest sea urchin diver in town.
Oaxaca
Rick finishes his trip in Oaxaca, one of Mexico's most captivating cities.
