Xica da Silva (Youtube)
The story of the first group of Portuguese in 1700’s Brazil – a tremendous love story between Xica and her “comandante”. Warning: this show has violent scenes as it takes place at the time when slavery was very live in Brazil.

Fantastic historical drama and love story between Simon Bolivar and Manuelita. Set in the 1800’s, with beautiful period clothes at gives a background about the alliance that developed betwee Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador and Bolivia that gave rise to their independence from Spain.
Jane the Virgin (Netflix)
I just love this show! it’s funny, it’s heartwarming, and set in a beautiful and sunny Miami, what more could you ask for?
Grand Hotel (Netflix)
A fantastic love story! The Spanish spoken here is from Spain so you’ll hear a different flavour of Spanish than the one spoken in Latin America.
