Grand Hotel

Set in early-18th-century Madrid, the plot follows the love story between an agoraphobic cook and a widowed nobleman.

Jane the Virgin

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. 

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?
