In the Land of Don Quixote

Filmed during Orson Welles’s travels through Spain while preparing his unfinished Don Quixote project, this nine-part travelogue documents the country’s landscapes, cities, and cultural traditions—from Andalusia to Pamplona—through an intimate, observational lens. Shot as a series of personal, narration-free travel films, the material was later broadcast by Italian television (RAI) with added voiceover, making the series both a poetic portrait of Spain and a rare glimpse into Welles’s working life, family, and creative process.

This production, originally released in 1964, has captivated audiences with its unique storytelling. As a Documentary series, it brings a fresh perspective to the Documentary genre, maintaining a strong viewer rating of 4.8 across its 1 season.
