Mercedes Milá travels to Turégano for a new episode of 'Me meto en un jardín', interviewing Lucía Dominguín. The journey includes a visit to a glass factory and a flower farm, revealing personal stories and connections.
Mercedes Milá has chosen Turégano, in Segovia, as the setting for the latest episode of 'Me meto en un jardín', where she meets with painter and entrepreneur Lucía Dominguín. The program, known for its candid interviews in unique gardens, continues to explore the personal and professional lives of its guests through unexpected journeys and encounters.
This week, Milá sets off in her caravan, making a notable stop at the Real Fábrica de Cristales de La Granja. There, she meets master glassblower Diego Rodríguez, who introduces her to the traditional art of glassblowing. Milá crafts a special vase as a gift for Dominguín, adding a personal touch to the visit. However, an unplanned incident involving her dog Scott briefly disrupts her itinerary, forcing a change in plans before the main interview can begin.
The meeting between Milá and Dominguín eventually takes place in La Alcarria, where their conversation quickly turns to the significance of place and memory. Dominguín, recognized both for her artistic work and her television appearances on 'MasterChef Celebrity' and 'DecoMasters', shares insights into her life and creative process. The two then travel together to a flower farm run by Leticia de la Fuente, a close friend of Dominguín. Surrounded by blooming fields, the discussion deepens, touching on themes of nature, friendship, and personal growth.
The episode concludes with Milá and Dominguín immersed in the tranquil atmosphere of the flower farm, highlighting the program’s focus on authentic dialogue and the connection between people and their environments. The format of 'Me meto en un jardín', produced by RTVE and Zanskar Producciones, stands out for its blend of travel, conversation, and the exploration of meaningful locations tied to each guest. Previous episodes have featured a diverse range of personalities, including David Uclés, Sor Lucía Caram, Álex Txikon, and Miguel Ángel Revilla, each bringing their own stories to gardens across Spain.
In recent months, Spanish television has seen a trend toward more intimate and location-driven interview formats. This approach allows viewers to discover not only the guests’ public personas but also the places that have shaped their lives. The choice of gardens and natural settings, such as the MariMurtra in Costa Brava or the Botánico Histórico in Barcelona, adds a visual and emotional layer to the conversations. For context, the use of distinctive locations in Spanish media has also sparked debate, as seen when a controversial image at a Sagunto festival led to official condemnation and public discussion about representation and tradition. More details on that incident can be found in this report on the Sagunto festival controversy.
‘Me meto en un jardín’ continues to attract attention for its ability to blend personal storytelling with the exploration of Spain’s diverse landscapes. The program’s success lies in its capacity to reveal new facets of well-known figures while celebrating the country’s cultural and natural heritage. As the series progresses, it remains a reference point for viewers interested in both the personalities and the places that define contemporary Spain.
