Marc Giró, who left TVE for Atresmedia at the start of the year, will briefly return to public television this Sunday. Eight months after leaving the network, he will join Mercedes Milá as a guest in the season finale of Me meto en un jardín on La 2, traveling through Rupit and the Osona region. Set for August 16 at 22:25, the episode is Giró's first appearance on TVE since his departure; he did not say goodbye to viewers during his final Late Xou broadcast.
Now hosting Cara al Show on laSexta, Giró will meet Milá at the end of her road trip through Osona. Launched on May 24, the program wraps its ten-episode run with this special. Before they meet, Milá travels by caravan, stopping at the Colom charcuterie in Cantonigròs to meet Dolors, an 85-year-old shopkeeper known for her fuets and fondness for geraniums. She then visits Manlleu's weekly market, where she talks with local vendors and picks up supplies for the trip.
Giró's work at Atresmedia continues alongside his planned TVE appearance. Atresmedia’s streaming platform lists him as the presenter of Cara al Show and identifies an October 21, 2026, second-season episode featuring Transport Minister Óscar Puente and María Patiño. The listing also names Fito Páez. LaSexta coverage describes Giró interviewing Puente, while Merca2 reports that the format pairs his opening monologue with two interviews per installment. The episode listing and later coverage show the interview-based role he has taken on at laSexta.
After spending the night in her caravan, Milá heads to Barcelona to pick up Giró. Together, they visit the Jardín Botánico Histórico, where they discuss his youth and artistic and republican education before turning to his professional path. The exchange carries his characteristic irony and critical perspective, giving viewers a candid look at his experiences since leaving TVE.
Giró's return to TVE comes as Catalan media figures often draw attention for their career moves and public appearances. Political shifts in Catalonia have also attracted scrutiny, with internal tensions and missed negotiations affecting Junts per Catalunya's influence. Giró's return is limited to a single episode, reflecting the movement of prominent personalities between major Spanish broadcasters.
TVE's decision to feature Giró in the finale of Me meto en un jardín shows the network's use of familiar faces in special programming. Choosing Rupit and Osona as filming locations also brings Catalonia's landscapes and communities to a national television audience. The episode reunites viewers with a well-known presenter, while his ongoing work at Atresmedia reflects the cross-network careers of prominent Spanish television personalities.
