Checking in... Andrew Wincott

Actor (Adam in The Archers)

EARLIEST HOLIDAY?

GOING on a trip aged three or four to the south coast of Devon, where my aunt and uncle lived. We drove there in my parents’ Humber Sceptre. I’ll never forget my first magical glimpse of the sea after the long journey from our home in Oxfordshire.

FIRST TRIP ABROAD?

A SCHOOL skiing trip to the Italian Alps. We caught the train and had to change at Zurich where I first got to try Swiss chocolate. Ski-wise I survived to tell the tale.

EVER GONE IN SEARCH OF ARCHERS’ COUNTRY?

A DOZEN or so years ago we did a photoshoot in Ledbury, fairly close to Inkberrow, Worcestershire, which is often thought to be the model for Ambridge: everyone’s perfect village.

TOP LOCATION?

LAS Alpujarras in the foothills of Spain’s Sierra Nevada mountains. The hills are wonderful for walking and, on a clear day, you can see the Mediterranean.

BEST FOREIGN RESTAURANT?

THE Restaurante Teide in Bubion, which serves typical Andalusian fare and has fabulous views of the valley.

TIP IF VISITING THE AREA?

ORDER a caña (small glass) of draught beer because if you order a pint, it will be warm by the time you finish it. In Andalusia, they serve a free snack or tapa with every beer.

HOLIDAY FROM HELL?

IN MY youth, I spent a grim night sleeping on a Frankfurt platform while Interrailing.

DREAM DESTINATION?

THE Atacama Desert in Chile. It’s the best place to see the stars as it’s so free of pollution.

The Archers, Radio 4 weekdays, 7pm; omnibus, Sundays, 10am. Andrew will be among the stars of the show appearing at the hay Festival on June 2 (hayfestival.com)

On quitte notre maison de rêve pour le grand Est sauvage. D'abord nous traversons les Alpujarras le long d'une route très sinueuse. Personne n'a vomi.

Au fil des kilomètres, le paysage devient plus aride et creusé. On finirait par se croire dans le farwest. Ça tombe bien, c'est ici qu'on y a tourné plein de western et nous dormons à côté de l'un de ces (vrais) décors que nous pouvons visiter, à Tabernas. Il y a même des petits spectacles. C'est touristique mais c'est bien foutu.

Nous finissons la journée avec des épaves de voitures et un beau coucher de soleil.

Granada

Gallas Encinas - 1964

DE entre los libros de mi abuela. Una especie de encargo del Ayuntamiento para conmemorar 25 años del fin de la Guerra, donde se hace un repaso a los números, los edificios y las costumbres de los granadinos.

Qué pocos universitarios había entonces (unos dos mil). Y cuántos pantanos, cuántos monumentos, ríos y pueblos. Todo por ver. Las ruinas íberas de Castillejo en Montefrío. Los bastetanos que poblaron Baza, las monedas de Iliverin acuñadas por los túrdulos en el siglo V a.C. en la Granada que fundaron bajo el nombre de Elybirge. Las fenicias Sexi (Almuñecar) y Salambina (Salobreña). La Ulisea griega en las Alpujarras. Más tarde los pueblos romanos Acci (Guadix) y Basti (Baza) y el ascenso de Ilíberis a municipio. La llegada de San Cecilio en el primer siglo, el Concilio de Ilíberis en el 300, la llegada de los vándalos en el siglo V y los árabes en el VIII, el triunfo de Abderrhamán y su pacto de vasallaje en Armilla. La elevación de Granada a capital del reino por la dinastía Zirí. La conquista de Alhama y Loja por San Fernando. Alhamar, fundador el reino de Granada de la Sierra a Gibraltar (1238). La entrega de las llaves el 2 de enero de 1492 de Boabdil y la fundación de Santa Fe. La sublevación de los moriscos del Albaicín la noche de Navidad de 1568, resguardándolos en las Alpujarras, bajo el mando de don Fernando de Válor. Y el general Sebastián, que causó gran daño durante las invasiones napoleónicas con sus expolios.
