Eva Longoria’s culinary tour of Spain takes a personal turn this Sunday as Searching for Spain heads to Asturias, the ancestral home of the Longoria family. Airing at 9 PM ET on CNN, the episode finds the actress and producer tracing her roots while exploring the region’s distinct food traditions, rooted in its unique geography of mountains, orchards, and abundant coastline.
While previous installments saw Longoria indulging in pintxos crawls in San Sebastián, savoring Catalan prawns in Barcelona, and deciphering the art of the perfect Spanish tortilla in Madrid, Asturias presents a more intimate connection. Longoria visits with family who still live in the town that bears her name, adding a rich genealogical thread to the usual food-focused travelogue.
Expect the episode to balance Longoria’s personal journey with the series’ wider aim: to present a vibrant, multi-layered portrait of Spain’s culinary landscape. From family kitchens to bustling markets, Searching for Spain continues to make the case that food is more than just sustenance—it’s a direct line to history, culture, and the enduring power of place.
Eva Longoria: Searching for Spain airs Sundays at 9:00pm ET on CNN.
