Belchite

:00:00. > :00:15.This week, remembering the Spanish Civil War. We are in a village

:00:16. > :00:27.frozen in time since destroyed in battle. Plus... Open wide. Close

:00:28. > :00:32.encounters with hungry sharks in the clear waters of the Pacific. Tommy's

:00:33. > :00:38.rolling into town with the recipe for a good time. This is where it

:00:39. > :00:41.all goes down. Right here is my little one and sink area which is

:00:42. > :00:47.where I like to cook little things for my guests. And we are in Rome,

:00:48. > :01:31.turning simple ingredients into a classic Italian dish.

:01:32. > :02:11.One place where the scars of the Spanish Civil War are too visible is

:02:12. > :02:21.the old village of Belchite in north-eastern Spain. It's a ruin.

:02:22. > :02:25.Streets are filled with the remains of buildings that were blasted to

:02:26. > :02:33.pieces during the war, which started 80 years ago this month. It was

:02:34. > :02:37.fought between the leftist Republicans and the far right

:02:38. > :02:45.nationalists, led by General Franco, and a major flashpoint was the

:02:46. > :02:50.village of Belchite. This was a sight of one of the bloodiest

:02:51. > :02:55.battles of the war. For 13 days, back in 1937, this village was under

:02:56. > :03:00.siege. Villagers were caught in the middle of the conflict and most took

:03:01. > :03:48.to their sellers to try to survive. -- cellars.

:03:49. > :04:05.During the siege, over 3000 were killed and the village of Belchite

:04:06. > :04:08.was left devastated. Like so many buildings here in Belchite, this

:04:09. > :04:14.church was completely destroyed during the fighting, and this bit of

:04:15. > :04:18.graffiti he tells the story. It says old village of Belchite, you're

:04:19. > :04:26.young people are no longer around to sing the songs that their fathers

:04:27. > :04:31.used to sing -- your young. After almost three years of fighting the

:04:32. > :04:35.civil war ended. The Nationalists forces to pick the Republicans and

:04:36. > :04:39.Franco went on to rule Spain as a dictator. He decreed that the

:04:40. > :04:43.village of Belchite be built in you and that the ruin of old Belchite be

:04:44. > :04:51.left untouched as a monument to the wall. Thomas was 13 years old when

:04:52. > :04:58.war came to his village. He managed to escape during the fighting, with

:04:59. > :04:59.his sister, and now lives in modern Belchite, but the Belchite ruin

:05:00. > :05:58.brings back many memories. Today Spanish-language tours of the

:05:59. > :06:05.site catered to thousands of letters from this country and across the

:06:06. > :06:08.world. This may be a very popular site for tourists but for local

:06:09. > :06:12.Spanish people the question of how to memorialise the country's civil

:06:13. > :06:20.war and fascist past is a subject of fierce debate. After the death of

:06:21. > :06:24.Franco and his dictatorship in 1975, Spanish political parties agree to

:06:25. > :06:29.an informal pact of forgetting, which meant the country's

:06:30. > :06:35.nationalist past was widely ignored. That's changed in the last decade or

:06:36. > :06:39.so. In 2007, a law was passed to condemn General Franco's regime and

:06:40. > :06:43.honour the war's victims and many have called for a truth and can see

:06:44. > :06:52.it in process, like in South Africa after the end of apartheid. Still,

:06:53. > :06:54.many believe that the past should simply be forgotten, including

:06:55. > :07:29.powerful symbols like the ruins of Belchite.

:07:30. > :07:33.The tourists I met he also believe that the site should continue to be

:07:34. > :08:27.preserved. -- here. As the anniversary of the civil war

:08:28. > :08:31.approaches, Spain will doubtless continue to debate how it will

:08:32. > :08:35.remember its past and perhaps 80 years is still not enough time to

:08:36. > :08:39.bring about a full and frank national compensation. But whatever

:08:40. > :08:43.happens, old Belchite will continue to stand as a striking monument and

:08:44. > :08:56.a harsh reminder of what happens when national arguments turn to

:08:57. > :09:02.violence. If our time in Belchite has pick your interest in other

:09:03. > :09:08.historical sites at Epping preserved for posterity, here are some top

:09:09. > :09:12.tips. This is Japan, just off the coast near Nagasaki. Though you

:09:13. > :09:17.might recognise it from the James Bond film Skyfall, where it played

:09:18. > :09:20.the villain's deserted lair. It was built to house coalminers and during

:09:21. > :09:24.the Second World War it was filled with slave labour. The mine closed

:09:25. > :09:31.and the island emptied in the 1970s, and now you can take tours of the

:09:32. > :09:33.crumbling remains. There are more relics of the Second World War off

:09:34. > :09:38.the English coast near the mouth of the River Thames. These forts were

:09:39. > :09:43.built to shoot down aircraft on their way to attack London and deter

:09:44. > :09:48.boats from laying mines. Later some of the towers were used for pirate

:09:49. > :09:53.radio stations, and today both occasionally take people out to sea

:09:54. > :09:58.for a closer look at the forts. There is a deserted town you might

:09:59. > :10:02.instinctively want to avoid, Chernobyl. 30 years after the

:10:03. > :10:06.nuclear accident, thousands of people now visit each year. What

:10:07. > :10:14.they find is a deserted time Capsule from Soviet 1986, a town abandoned

:10:15. > :10:18.overnight and left for dead. And in Naples in Italy there is a tunnel

:10:19. > :10:24.made for a keen to make a sharp exit from his palace. The tunnel was dug

:10:25. > :10:29.in 1853 for a nervous Ferdinand II, King of the two Cicely is but it was

:10:30. > :10:32.never finished. It served as an underground hospital in the Second

:10:33. > :10:35.World War and a store for empowerment cars -- Cicelys. There

:10:36. > :10:38.are several ways to tour the tunnel and the favourite includes a hard

:10:39. > :10:58.hat and a zip wire. Staying in Italy, this week's Global

:10:59. > :11:02.Gourmet comes from Rome. They are not many cities without an Italian

:11:03. > :11:09.restaurant in the world, but they aren't always authentic. So, let's

:11:10. > :11:16.go to one of Rome's most popular restaurants. This is how to make the

:11:17. > :11:26.perfect pastor. -- pasta. This is one of the oldest restaurants in

:11:27. > :11:36.Rome. Three generations. We prepare this simple dish. The tomatoes,

:11:37. > :11:39.fresh tomatoes, the cheek of the pork, the red pepper, which is

:11:40. > :11:52.spicy... Youth put in half a pot of water.

:11:53. > :11:56.Peel the skin of the tomato. -- you. It isn't the best thing to it, the

:11:57. > :12:14.skin. This is the cheek of the pork. We

:12:15. > :12:27.put the cheek of the pork... One of the white wines of Rome. Then we put

:12:28. > :12:29.the tomato when there isn't much source. We do this until it is

:12:30. > :12:52.ready. Then I take the pasta. Then we put

:12:53. > :13:09.it to cook. Still to come on The Travel Show. ROCK MUSIC PLAYS. Yeah!

:13:10. > :13:20.An cat and mouse with the great whites of the Pacific. -- playing.

:13:21. > :13:26.And Tommy shows us why we don't want him in the tent next door. Can you

:13:27. > :13:28.still hear me? The Travel Show, your essential guide wherever you are

:13:29. > :13:44.heading. Yo, yo, yo, BBC, welcome to my crib.

:13:45. > :13:51.That is right, British summertime is well in effect, and you can see how

:13:52. > :14:01.I, the pop star, lives. This is how it all goes down. This is my sink

:14:02. > :14:07.area where I like to cook for my guests. And this is my lounge room,

:14:08. > :14:19.and my bedroom. And this is my shower and toilet and sync all put

:14:20. > :14:23.in this little space. -- sink. This innovative design is a head turner.

:14:24. > :14:31.It is quite spacious. Even though I am tall, my head still hits the

:14:32. > :14:35.ceiling, but that is my only criticism. You are really just

:14:36. > :14:41.paying for the design factor. It is a bit of an issue for me, the size.

:14:42. > :14:45.But look at the size of this bed! If you don't have a retro caravan to

:14:46. > :14:50.stay in, this is the cheaper alternative. A tent that its makers

:14:51. > :14:56.claim you can put up in two seconds. Let's put that to the test. This

:14:57. > :15:02.tent took me longer than two seconds to put up. More like a few minutes

:15:03. > :15:09.for a novice like me is a bit but it is fairly straightforward to use. --

:15:10. > :15:14.but. It is 100% waterproof and compensation prove. Things can get

:15:15. > :15:21.hot and muggy inside but it won't feel bad. There is plenty of room in

:15:22. > :15:28.here for someone to join me. So, if I want company, come in. And then

:15:29. > :15:37.one of these, can you guess what it is? No? It is not the latest man

:15:38. > :15:43.bag, it is a portable stove. The Primus, a stylish and compact double

:15:44. > :15:52.burner stove. It is easy to add at. Once secure, you can start. --

:15:53. > :15:57.attach. Remember, always be careful storing gas canisters. Use, the

:15:58. > :16:03.burners are partially shielded from the wind. -- once in use. It is

:16:04. > :16:10.super simple, light weight, portable, easy to get going, and it

:16:11. > :16:18.is now lunch, so get out of the way, give me a bit of peace, please.

:16:19. > :16:25.Thank you. If you like taking your music with you, you will value a

:16:26. > :16:29.good portable speaker. There are many to choose from, including this

:16:30. > :16:37.one. It may be a bit bulky to put in your rucksack, but it has had a

:16:38. > :16:41.baby. It will light up our world. The GBL Pulse II is powerful for its

:16:42. > :16:47.size, with a good balance. It's intriguing multicoloured LED light

:16:48. > :16:52.show reacts to your music's tempo. But it is low on accessories, that

:16:53. > :16:58.is the only disadvantage. It is difficult to fault. But it is

:16:59. > :17:03.splashproof, not waterproof. You cannot submerge it like previous

:17:04. > :17:07.models. That is important to know if you go somewhere with water. But you

:17:08. > :17:15.are getting a massive 360 degrees sound something this small! I wonder

:17:16. > :17:36.how far back it goes. Back up. Kenny Stills Niemi? -- can you still hear

:17:37. > :17:43.me? Now to the Pacific, and the Mexican island of Guadalupe, nearly

:17:44. > :17:47.250 kilometres off California. The volcanic coast drops off into the

:17:48. > :17:52.bluest of Pacific waters, but underneath the surface it is home to

:17:53. > :17:58.hundreds of great white sharks. This shark is around four metres long.

:17:59. > :18:04.Some around here are half as big again. And if you could put them on

:18:05. > :18:09.the scales, they weigh 2.5 tons. White sharks just captured the

:18:10. > :18:16.public's imagination in a way not many other species can do, they are

:18:17. > :18:23.the lions of the ocean. There is a magic quality. We should not fear

:18:24. > :18:28.them. We need to protect them. We are all better off that they are

:18:29. > :18:34.here. They are drawn here because these a ready supply of food. The

:18:35. > :18:40.island is home to seals, easy pray for a great white shark. But they

:18:41. > :18:46.can be tempted away from the seals with the taste of tuna, bringing

:18:47. > :18:51.them up close to divers who want to get up close with the sharks. Yeah!

:18:52. > :18:56.I have a lot of respect for an animal that comes out of the water

:18:57. > :19:03.like that with its teeth this long and that can kill you. To get in the

:19:04. > :19:09.cage, all you have to do is slide in. I can't wait. I am so excited.

:19:10. > :19:17.And... Which fill up. This boat has three cages for divers. -- wish me

:19:18. > :19:24.luck. The third one lives the deepest. OK... You don't need a

:19:25. > :19:32.diving qualification to do this. There is a special supply from the

:19:33. > :19:41.boat. The cages led to divers get astonishingly close to the sharks.

:19:42. > :19:58.The gaps in the cages look big, but, don't worry, they are enough to keep

:19:59. > :20:06.the sharks at bay. MUSIC PLAYS. And we've seals in abundance and tuna a

:20:07. > :20:08.treat, humans and that much of a prospect of food to the sharks. --

:20:09. > :20:33.and with. -- aren't that much of. That was amazing. You turn around

:20:34. > :20:38.and there is one like in your face. They aren't after us like many

:20:39. > :20:48.people like to think, Jaws, and all that stuff. I feel very privileged.

:20:49. > :20:55.They seem to be living their lives. It was a privilege to see them. I

:20:56. > :21:06.arrived scared and I leave scared. LAUGHING. MUSIC PLAYS. Going to the

:21:07. > :21:12.island to dive with the sharks is not cheap. It may cost thousands of

:21:13. > :21:15.dollars. But getting so close to one of the Earth's greatest predators

:21:16. > :21:29.may be worth the incredible experience.

:21:30. > :21:41.Well, that is all we have time for on this week's show. Coming up next

:21:42. > :21:47.week... JAZZ MUSIC. We're in New Orleans, beginning a two week march

:21:48. > :21:52.across the southern states of the USA. That is exactly how I imagined

:21:53. > :21:56.it, a brass band going down the street and they hold crowd following

:21:57. > :22:06.them and getting into it. Fantastic. And is taking aim deep in the heart

:22:07. > :22:10.of Texas. So do catch up with us if you can. And in real time you can

:22:11. > :22:20.keep up with us by signing up to the on line details which are on your

:22:21. > :22:26.screen now. But for now and the rest of the team say goodbye. -- for now,

:22:27. > :22:33.me and the. The change in the month

:22:34. > :22:45.did not bring a change It will be a decent

:22:46. > :22:50.start to Saturday. But this brisk westerly breeze

:22:51. > :22:53.will bring the showers
