Juan Meseguer

Charting the life of Isabella I of Castile, one of the most important women in Spain’s history, Isabel follows her passionate story from childhood to being crowned Queen. From her political struggles within King Henry IV's court to her wedding to Ferdinand of Aragon, the drama encapsulates the passions, emotions and sacrifices of a woman who refused to just be a figurehead and whose outlook was ahead of her time.

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

A caustic satire of many of the 'types' found in Spanish society.
