When What To Watch is invited by Paramount Plus to join the cast and crew of its new romantic comedy The Road Trip on the Spanish island of Gran Canaria, we’re not expecting it to be a truly immersive experience.
However, in the spirit of the six-part tale — based on Beth O’Leary’s best-selling novel of lovelorn Addie and sister Deb, en route to a wedding in Spain when they’re forced to share their campervan journey with, among others, Addie's ex Dylan (Mary & George’s Laurie Davidson) — we are soon embarking on our own scenic route, taking in many of the island’s picturesque filming locations. These include south Gran Canaria’s biggest hill town of Tunte; the mountainous Village of Tejeda; the Guayadeque Ravine and the Village of Agüimes.
