In Dublin, Joseph O'Gorman, a Trinity College scholar, welcomes guests to the 400-year-old university and shares his in-depth knowledge about the ancient manuscript and precious artifact, The Book of Kells. In San Sebastian, Spain, renowned for its lively culinary scene, local gourmet Clara Fernandez takes guests on a pintxos foodie excursion in the Old Town. In Asturias, guests enjoy a Dine-at-Home experience with a meal cooked by Flor Santiago, sample her famous cider and make the perfect pisto (ratatouille).
