The Ministry of Time	comment	El Ministerio del Tiempo (The Ministry of Time, in some places The Department of Time) is a Spanish TV series (2015-2017, 2020) broadcast by TelevisiÃ³n EspaÃ±ola. Initially thought to be a copy of a certain British time travel series, it does deal with time travel but without space travel, aliens or travels to the future. Word of God attributes primary inspiration to Tim Powers' novel The Anubis Gates and Nicholas Meyer's movie Time After Time. It is 1569. Alonso de EntrerrÃos, a soldier of the Tercios in Flanders, is in prison and facing execution by hanging. His "crime" was attacking his superior after the latter said that the cause of the massive loss of soldiers was the fault of a badly timed attack started by Alonso, when it is actually the superior's fault. The day of his execution, a mysterious man offers him work for the Crown. It is 1880. Amelia Folch is a young member of Barcelona's bourgeoisie and one of the first female university students in Spain. This has caused her no little grief as most of her family and friends consider her a bit mad. During a class on Lope de Vega, an unknown woman hands her a note. She follows her. It is 2015. JuliÃ¡n MartÃnez is a Madrid paramedic that has become a bit of a Death Seeker ever since his wife died in a hit and run, and, as such, barely any of his partners want to work with him. During a call to a fire, he enters the building against orders and sees two people dressed in centuries-old garb, but the roof comes down on him before he can get out. No one believes him when he reports on what he saw, as there was no one else in the building, and he loses his job. It is 1981. JesÃºs MÃ©ndez, nicknamed "Pacino", is a Madrid police officer chasing a Serial Killer that gruesomely murders single mothers in front of their children. But the killer leaps into a closet and Pacino chases him, unbeknownst to him that he is in the 21st Century. After being arrested as the primary suspect of the killings, he is approached by a man who offers him to find the killer that can vanish through a closet, the same one that caused his father to commit suicide.These four people from different times are approached by two mysterious individuals who offer them work for something greater. A place that works with the interesting suggestion of what if there were doors that led to past times, and there was a dedicated Ministry in charge of protecting these gates to prevent their misuse by others with an interest in changing history? A place called the Ministry of Time.This Ministry is a secret organization within the Spanish government created in 1491, after a Jewish rabbi called Abraham Levi told the secret of the doors to Isabella I of Castile in exchange for protection for him and his family. The Queen set up a secret office that would protect these gates, but in the end the rabbi ended up being burned alive (although behind the Queen's back). Its existence is only known to a few people from outside (such as the King and the Prime Minister), and civil servants from all times work to ensure the well-being of Spanish history.JuliÃ¡n, Amelia and Alonso (and later Pacino) become the newest team of the Ministry, taking charge of keeping control of the many, many temporal gates existing in Spain, and to prevent people, both in the past and the present, from using them to profit from the changes in history, among them legendary former agent Lola Mendieta, who was thought to have gone missing years ago, but appears to have her own agenda...So far, there has been a first season (eight episodes, aired in 2015), a second season (thirteen episodes, aired between February and May 2016 with a two-week midseason break), a third season (thirteen episodes, on air since June 2017) and a fourth season (eight episodes, aired in 2020).It has also spawned at least one local version (MinistÃ©rio do Tempo, for Portugal, with a first season aired in 2017) and other countries are starting their own versions. A Ukrainian version is in production with its release date unknown. Also, Netflix signed a deal with TVE in 2017 to broadcast the series internationally, and helped finance the third season. However, the deal expired in February 2020, and the series made the jump to HBO in April of the same year, and they will also get to stream each episode of season 4 right after TVE premieres it. The first two seasons were originally broadcast only under the Spanish title, and when Netflix got involved to continue producing the show it was gifted an English name, subtitles, and international audience.

The present is our present, because there are no doors leading into the future. Therefore, the series' logic accepts time travel to the past but not to the future (after the current year). In episode 14, Pacino states that he does not believe in spiritism. Amelia points out that a month before, he would not have believed in time-traveling.

The Ministry of Time / int_141f6a73	type	Artistic License â€“ Martial Arts
The Ministry of Time / int_141f6a73	comment	Artistic License â€“ Martial Arts: Assuming Gaspar de EntrerrÃos is meant to be a competent fighter, his duel against Gonzalo Guerrero showcases absolutely wrong technique for the Spanish sword and dagger. Despite wielding a rapier primarily made to pierce, whose correct usage would give him a unsurmountable range Gonzalo could not wade through with his mace without being wounded, Gaspar prefers to use wild, cutlass-like slashes with both of his weapons, which predictably allow Guerrero to get through and disarm him of his dagger. From there, Gaspar devolves into cheapshots and a harmless run with his sword down, getting him outflanked again and knocked down for the loss - by this point, as the saying goes, the chronicle of a death foretold. Speaking about the same duel, the macuahuitl Guerrero wields is treated as a baseball bat, hitting without drawing blood, when in real life it was basically an axe or a bladed mace, with a tremendous cutting power thanks to its obsidian blades and high center of gravity. His strike to Gaspar's dagger arm, which in the series only makes the Spaniard release the dagger, would have likely chopped the arm off and finished the duel right there.

The Ministry of Time / int_1a51c6ca	comment	Toros y Flamenco: Repeatedly teased and subverted in Episode 13: Irene goes on a mission to help future Flamenco dancer Carmen Amaya. Since the mission is helping her mother birth her, there is no dancing nor reference to it. The team dresses in typical Flamenco garb... for a mission in Seville's Fair, 1991. The release of the Spanish Flu virus in the Ministry prevents them from ever going there. Alonso, who is from Seville but was born centuries before Flamenco was invented, has no idea what the dresses are for. Amelia is surprised to learn that Sevillian dancer figurines are sold as souvenirs in her native Barcelona in modern times. The only time bullfighting is mentioned at all is when Amelia thinks that the "Torete" Pacino mentions once must be a famous bullfighter, but he actually was a common criminal turned actor. Turns up again in Episode 28, when Pacino and Alonso smuggle the Viridiana original out of Spain in a touring troupe of bullfighters (which is Truth in Television). Alonso mistakenly believes that he has to show up dressed in bullfighter garb. He has not.

After Pacino stops MorÃ¡n's father from killing his wife, adult MorÃ¡n's murders are undone - and Salvador points out to him that all of the unorphaned kids' lives have completely changed, and they cannot know what will happen to them. Episode 23 has Salvador discussing the idea when he notices Lola Mendieta's interactions with William Martin are not in her past — at least the way he knew it —, and if the Nazis kill her, all the missions the future Lola did for the Ministry would have to be redone. The line had also been quoted on the season 3 trailers.

In episode 6, Amelia suggests LÃ¡zaro to tell someone of his story, saying it would make for a wonderful novel. At the end of the episode, it turns out he did (El Lazarillo de Tormes) - and JuliÃ¡n wonders one thing: would his adventures have been written if they had not read about his adventures? A tragic one discovered in Episode 8: JuliÃ¡n's attempt to save his wife Maite from being run over ended up causing it indirectly, thus prompting his past self into the actions that would allow him to such an attempt. Would El Cantar de MÃo Cid have been written if the man that took over his life had not used it as a guide on what to do? Tie-in comic Tiempo al tiempo indicates the reason why JuliÃ¡n was hired for the Ministry was because he saved a young Salvador's life from an attack and told him about what he would do in the future.

The Ministry of Time / int_392372f9	type	Actor Allusion
The Ministry of Time / int_392372f9	comment	Actor Allusion: JuliÃ¡n lying about his name being Curro JimÃ©nez in the 19th century tavern is an echo to Sancho Gracia's — Rodolfo Sancho's late father — immortal eponymous bandolero. Alonso states that he dislikes hospitals. One of Nacho Fresneda's previous roles was as a doctor in Hospital Central. JuliÃ¡n could swear that he met Queen Isabel before. He did, when he played her husband, Fernando II of Aragon, in Isabel. When a bunch of Moorish bowmen attack El Cid's patrol and the Ministry's team, Spinola shouts "Yippie-kai-yay, hideputas'', medieval Spanish version of John McClane's Catchphrase. RamÃ³n Langa, who plays Spinola, is Bruce Willis' official Spanish voice actor. Gil PÃ©rez's favorite movie is "El Crack" (1981). Miguel RellÃ¡n, who portrays PÃ©rez, also has a role there. Episode 12's mission is to save an ancestor of Adolfo SuÃ¡rez, who was Rodolfo Sancho's godfather. When they are in a spiritism session, the spiritist looks at Amelia and mentions her "aura". The actress who plays Amelia is called Aura Garrido. Pacino telling JuliÃ¡n that they couldn't have met before because "when I came, you had already left" is also true of both actors' TV debut in the long running 1990s teen series, Al Salir de Clase. According to the ID cards given to him to help him settle in the 21st century, Alonso's mother's surname is Fresneda, Nacho Fresneda's own surname. Similarly, a diploma reveals Salvador (Jaime Blanch)'s mother's surname is Blanch. Elena Castillo, played by Susana CÃ³rdoba, was born in CÃ³rdoba. Irene says that the Ministry's scheme to destroy Lombardi's TV program eight years before resulted in the largest rating share of a JosÃ© Luis Garci film ever. Irene's actress used to be Garci's girlfriend. Between the second and third seasons, Cayetana GuillÃ©n Cuervo took part in the first Celebrity edition of MasterChef, and became notorious for cutting herself in almost every challenge. On the season 3 premiere, her character, Irene, appeared with her fingers bandaged, and explained that she had cut herself cooking a gazpacho. In "El cisma del tiempo", Alonso, Lola and Pacino travel by train from Madrid to PeÃ±Ãscola, and Lola asks Pacino if he liked the movie they saw during the travel, Witching & Bitching. Hugo Silva (Pacino) had a main role in that film. "Entre dos tiempos" plays fast and hard with this trope, being that its first half is a love story to Spanish television. Luis Larrodera, who plays UreÃ±a, was the host for the 2004 revival of Un, dos, tres, one of the most famous shows of Spanish television, created by Narciso IbÃ¡Ã±ez Serrador, who also created "Historias para no dormir", whose original run nearly gets replaced by 1960s!El Ministerio del Tiempo. 1960s!Amelia and JuliÃ¡n's actors are Cayetana GuillÃ©n Cuervo (Irene)'s parents, while Alonso's is Jaime Blanch (Salvador). In Episode 35, Pacino mentions his similarity to a character from Los Hombres de Paco... a character played by Hugo Silva, who also plays Pacino.

The Ministry of Time / int_43b154c9	type	Not Even Bothering with the Accent
The Ministry of Time / int_43b154c9	comment	Not Even Bothering with the Accent: Andalusians Diego VelÃ¡zquez (from Seville) and Pablo Picasso (from Malaga) both speak with a Madrid (central) accent instead of their respective Southern accents. Ditto for main character Alonso, who's from Seville too. Averted for most of the Catalan characters. They even say a word in Catalan now and then. Also averted for the Andalusian poet Federico GarcÃa Lorca, who does speak with a Southern accent. It seems that accents are only used in characters born from the Modern Age onwards (apart from Picasso), while Translation Convention applies for older periods. Alonso's lack of Sevillian accent is lampshaded by Elena Castillo the mysterious modern activist that looks just like his late wife in Episode 17 but is not elaborated on. Meanwhile, VelÃ¡zquez's accent slips sometimes, implying that he changed it when he moved to Madrid when he was 12 years old. Subverted with William Martin in episode 23. Despite being born in England, his mother was Andalusian, and he has been living in Punta UmbrÃa for enough time to "get perfectly adapted", as other character puts it, which explains why he has Andalusian accent instead of an English one. Columbus has no trace of a foreign accent in 1485, despite having just arrived in Spain. This might be actually a reference to real-world conspiracy theories about Columbus's place of birth, which are addressed elsewhere in the episode.

The Ministry of Time / int_6ec4232f	type	Casting Gag
The Ministry of Time / int_6ec4232f	comment	Casting Gag: Jimmy Shaw's character Walcott most likely gets his name from the similarly villainous character Patrick Walcott from fellow RTVE series Ã�guila Roja, in which Shaw played the pirate Richard Blake. Queen Isabel is played by Michelle Jenner, as in RTVE production Isabel. It gives an opportunity to some fun, as Rodolfo Sancho, who plays JuliÃ¡n, was King Fernando in the same series. Eusebio Poncela also reprises his role as cardinal Cisneros like in the eponymous series. Famed quiz show host Jordi Hurtado showed up As Himself in the season 1 finale, being revealed as a Ministry worker. The gag here comes from the fact that Hurtado has hosted Saber y ganar since 1997 without appearing to having aged much, and so he's jokingly thought to be immortal. This one transcended the series in the spring of 2016 when Hurtado was forced to take a hiatus from Saber y ganar for the first time in the show's two-decade run to recover from minor surgery: in the first episode where he wasn't hosting, he phoned in and humorously told his Temporary Substitute Luis Larrodera that he had been injured on a Ministry mission. Being El Cid is not Sergio Peris Mencheta's first time as a medieval general: he had already played Gonzalo FernÃ¡ndez de CÃ³rdoba, El Gran CapitÃ¡n, in Isabel. Pacino isn't Hugo Silva's first time as a Cowboy Cop Chick Magnet either: he also played one such agent, Lucas FernÃ¡ndez, in Los hombres de Paco. Royal Bratty Teenage Daughter Isabel II is played by the same actress that played Royal Bratty Teenage Daughter Juana la Beltraneja in Isabel. The beggar in La RÃ¡bida 1485 has also been in Isabel and Ã�guila Roja. Lampshaded by Sonia, who does a Shout-Out to both series. Putting Luis Larrodera as the man who almost gets "Historias para no dormir" off the network in 1966 is hilarious when you remember he was the host at the 2004 revival of Un, dos, tres, a game show also created by Narciso IbÃ¡Ã±ez Serrador.

The Ministry of Time / int_7d49d74a	comment	Cultural Translation: The Portuguese remake (MinistÃ©rio do Tempo) is virtually identical in terms of characters, sets and plots to the original series, but it changes the Ministry's location to Lisbon, makes it Portuguese, and all the missions related to preserving Spanish history are now about preserving Portuguese history. AmÃ©lia Carvalho is a female college student in 1894 Coimbra. Afonso is a soldier in King John III's Decadent Court, victim of a political intrigue. Tiago (JuliÃ¡n) is a Lisbon paramedic. JÃºlio Mendes "Pacino" is an agent of the Portuguese Judicial Police. The Ministry was founded by King John II. The Ministry's sketcher is Nuno GonÃ§alves (and the second door Tiago crosses leads to his painting of the Saint Vincent Panels). "Time is what it is" is about ensuring a Portuguese victory at Aljubarrota.note Because the enemies now come from 1385 instead of 1808, the library has a TV playing a doc about sport shooting in order to teach them what a handgun is, and the bad guy stabs the cops instead of shooting them. The first door crossed by Tiago in the same episode leads to the building of Ã‰vora's roman temple. "Time of Glory" is about ensuring Camoes safe passage to India. "How Time is Rewritten" is about a meeting between Salazar and Hitler. "Any Past Time" is about recovering the original manuscript of Pessoa's Mensagem. "Time of Rascals" is about rescuing Gil Vicente. "Time of Vengeance" is about saving Philippa of Lancaster. "Time of Legend" is about GonÃ§alo Mendes da Maia, "O Lidador". In "The Time on his Hands", the broadcast cluing Pacino that he has travelled forward in time is about the Portuguese football team winning Euro 2016. "Time of Maias" (for "Time of Hidalgos") is about saving EÃ§a de Queiroz's As Maias. "Time of Monastery" (for "The Monastery of Time") is about saving the ancestor of one of the leaders of the Carnation Revolution. Because of the impossibility of changing the 1918 date, "A Virus from Another Time" begins with Irene on a mission to save 11-year-old Beatriz Costa's voice, rather than assisting her mother in her birth. "Time of the Brave" is about Tiago being stranded in Timor after the Indonesian invasion. "Time of Oil [Painting]" (for "Oil Over Time") takes place in Lisbon's Ribeira Palace immediately before the 1755 Earthquake. In "Time of the Occult" the Conspiracy Theorist replaces Vasco da Gama instead of Columbus. Columbus (during his time living in Portugal) replaces AgustÃn de ArgÃ¼elles's part in "Change of Time." The main plot is mostly the same, but the main characters care a lot more about the fact that Portugal is part of Spain in the altered timeline.

The Ministry of Time / int_7fbb2a3	comment	Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Irene out of pity offers medicine to her former mentor Armando Leiva during his imprisonment in The Middle Ages. If she thought she could redeem him, she was proved wrong as Leiva fakes his death and becomes an Ax-Crazy inside the Ministry. It then turns out that Salvador was the one that gave him what he needed to fake his death. Susana Torres' attempt to save Irene from dying of Spanish flu nearly causes an epidemic. After Amelia fires Enriqueta for stealing, Enriqueta discovers the Ministry... and that she will become a Serial Killer.

The Ministry of Time / int_a4c37cbe	comment	Mood Whiplash: Episode 11, "Time of Hidalgos", is a fairly funny one, with Amelia and Alonso driving Cervantes mad with their antics at the theater rehearsals, but when the King orders all theaters closed, it turns to Cervantes attempting to commit suicide. Episode 17, "Ã“leo sobre tiempo", has Philip V, whose madness episodes can be quite fun... until the scene that shows he is a broken man, controlled by his wife and unable to gain some happiness. Episode 19 is a supremely silly comedy episode... until Sonia runs into two deadly serious assassins tasked with finding and murdering Columbus.

The Ministry of Time / int_a5e0c01	comment	Famed quiz show host Jordi Hurtado showed up As Himself in the season 1 finale, being revealed as a Ministry worker. The gag here comes from the fact that Hurtado has hosted Saber y ganar since 1997 without appearing to having aged much, and so he's jokingly thought to be immortal. This one transcended the series in the spring of 2016 when Hurtado was forced to take a hiatus from Saber y ganar for the first time in the show's two-decade run to recover from minor surgery: in the first episode where he wasn't hosting, he phoned in and humorously told his Temporary Substitute Luis Larrodera that he had been injured on a Ministry mission.

The Ministry of Time / int_a8371e84	comment	Giving Radio to the Romans: The trope is discussed in the premiere, with Salvador mentioning the threat that someone could "give machine guns to the Romans, or al-Qaeda team up with Boabdil", but it is never played straight. The 2016 Ministry gives communications technology to past ministries and agents, even those that are born and live in other areas, but they don't expand the technology because they are pledged to keep History as it is. In the first episode, Thibaud murders two cops but steals only one handgun when he returns to 1808. Once in his time, he treats the gun as a personal trophy and makes no attempt to have it reverse-engineered. His plan to make Napoleon win is instead to read future History books to learn what strategic decisions will be blunders and avoid them. Finding a cellphone in an archaeological dig and a depiction of a graphics tablet in a 1924 poster trigger missions, but neither are reverse-engineered nor have an impact in the timeline. Episode 21 shows Philip II's Spain taking advantage of this to ensure the Spanish Empire will endure.

Comes in handy to kill the Napoleonic Thibaud who is not as good with modern weapons. When Amelia is recruited in Episode 1, she had just had a discussion with her college teacher over whether Lope de Vega's work was influenced by the earlier work Orlando Furioso. In Episode 2, she recognizes Lope de Vega because he is quoting Orlando Furioso. Alonso is amazed when he first sees a motorcycle in Episode 1, and is seen playing with a motorcycle arcade at the beginning of Episode 4. He uses a motorcycle to rescue Ernesto from 1491 in that same episode. In chapter 19, the main characters become impervious to history changing because they were traveling when it happened. This allows them to keep their memories after Philip II drastically changes things around while they were on a mission.

The pun on the title is just the beginning ("Ministry" and "Mistery" sound almost the same in Spanish; it is easy to imagine this pun being the thing that inspired the series in the first place). The plot is full of references to particular events of Spanish History and pop culture that are not familiar to most non-Spaniards. The episode called El Monasterio del Tiempo is a direct pun that swaps only two letters from the series' title, with both words being almost identical in sound. In the English translation, it doesn't work as Ministry is far more different to Monastery and both words have their accents in different syllables. It doesn't work in the Portuguese adaptation either, as Mosteiro is also too different from Ministerio.

The Ministry of Time / int_dbb414ed	comment	Hand Wave: Possibly. In episode 1, the answer to the question "Can we travel to the future?" is simply "No. Time is what it is". After it caused quite a bit of confusion in the audience, episode 2 had a better explanation: all the doors in the Ministry open to past times, and none of them leads to the future. The fact that a door connecting with merely three years before (precisely the day Julian's wife was killed) has been shown makes the dynamics rather fishy, but given that we don't know yet if the doors have been always there or they are created from nothing at some moments, it could be entirely explainable. Whether the future Ministry will have doors which lead to the present day is something we may see in future episodes. Again, in episode 1, a character says that he uses a certain door to watch a certain football match again and again. While this seemed like a Plot Hole, given that the Ministry doors operate in San Dimas Time, episode 4 clarified that a few doors are trapped in a Groundhog Day like situation, and people that go through them will only be once in the period of time behind that door, no matter how many times they travel. In Season 2, a new door is found (inside the Ministry, no less) leading to the events of Season 1.

The Ministry of Time / int_dfe57573	comment	Historical In-Joke: Many historical characters were employed by the Ministry at some point. When VelÃ¡zquez painted himself in Las Meninas, he depicted himself with a Santiago Cross on his chest, an honor he did not receive until three years after the painting was completed. In episode 3, Salvador tells him that he knows he used a door to find out the truth. VelÃ¡zquez also mentions The Surrender of Breda. In episode 6, Amelia convinces LÃ¡zaro to get his adventures written down. In the end, LÃ¡zaro talks with a friend monk, who offers to write what he can tell, and the two of them conclude that it will have to be done anonymously. In Real Life, no one knows who wrote the book (El Lazarillo de Tormes). The first episode shows that there is a time door leading right to the place and time in which Las Meninas was painted, likely the one through which VelÃ¡zquez was recruited. This door is the door that appears in the painting itself. In Episode 2, Salvador remarks that Philip II's reign was a golden age for the Ministry - "Maybe the only one". Many would say the same about the history of Spain itself. The Ministry's agent in the 1588-1604 period (at least) is named Gil PÃ©rez.

Irene is seen with a white shirt (hard nipples are seen through the shirt) and very short panties while her lover is fully naked though we see her bare back. Then a Girl on Girl Is Hot happens before she returns to the Ministry. In episode 7, the girl JuliÃ¡n hooks up with.

The Ministry of Time / int_f9f2c33	comment	Running Gag: Alonso always crosses himself whenever he enters a time door. SpÃnola also does the same. Salvador and VelÃ¡zquez's Straight Man-Bunny-Ears Lawyer clashes. Somewhat happens with Lola's allies. Most Heelâ€“Face Turn on her because of their greed and cowardice. The best agent always rebels. First Lola, then Leiva and next Irene. The cuts to the Ministry's budget affect operations at every level. In Episode 9, people from the past ask what DNA is. In Episode 12, the unnamed third prisoner keeps repeating "we are gonna die! we are gonna die!" When they are freed, it's "we are not gonna die! we are not gonna die!" Pacino getting annoyed when neither Amelia nor Alonso — who come from, respectively, one and four centuries before Pacino's own time — understand his cultural references.

The Ministry of Time / int_fe0330fb	type	Brick Joke
The Ministry of Time / int_fe0330fb	comment	Brick Joke: Alonso is compared to Diego Alatriste several times in episode 1. When, in episode 2, it becomes inconvenient for Alonso to use his name, JuliÃ¡n presents him as Diego Alatriste. In Episode 1, JuilÃ¡n tells Alonso and Amelia they should see Terminator. A trailer for the second season shows their (and VelÃ¡zquez's) reactions to the end of Terminator 2: Judgment Day, which, at the beginning of episode 9, they tell JuliÃ¡n about: they prefer 2 to 1. In Episode 1, the 1808 agent is angry because the higher-ups have cut-off his Christmas bonus. In Episode 13, the clerk watching the gates asks if they will be given back their Christmas bonusnote This, as well as the example under Running Gag below, is based on Real Life suppression of said bonus during 2012 to civil servants because of budgetary cuts At the beginning of Episode 12, Pacino explains to Alonso that he does not take confession because he feels it is weird to tell your secrets to a guy in a long dress. For this episode's mission, he has to disguise himself as a priest and absolve several characters when they confess to him. During their first mission together in episode 11, Alonso accidentally called Pacino "Chapino". When they meet again in episode 22, Alonso calls him this again.

The Ministry of Time / int_ff41780	type	Young Future Famous People
The Ministry of Time / int_ff41780	comment	Young Future Famous People: The VelÃ¡zquez who works for the Ministry is still years away from painting Las Meninas. Not that this refrains him from claiming credit for it. The servant girl in the Folchs 1880s home is Enriqueta MartÃ, 30 years before she became Barcelona's most infamous Serial Killer. Lope de Vega appears first as an unknown 26 year-old soldier in the 1588 Spanish Armada, who has only written some short comedies and comes across more as a fanboy of Orlando Furioso than as a writer in his own right. In the next episode he appears in, set in 1604, he is now a celebrity, but Miguel de Cervantes is not. In the next episode they are in, set in 1605, Lope teases Cervantes about how he will be remembered as the greatest Spanish writer of all time, while Cervantes will be forgotten. In Episode 8, Luis BuÃ±uel appears as a college student who has no interest in filmmaking; similarly young Lorca and DalÃ are also present as fellow students. Twenty episodes later, BuÃ±uel appears as a celebrated 61-year-old director, while future singer Miguel BosÃ© has an unexpected cameo as a 5-year-old kid in one of BuÃ±uel's receptions - due to BosÃ©'s uncle Domingo DominguÃn being one of BuÃ±uel's producers. In Episode 13, Irene travels to 1918 to help in the birth of Flamenco dancer Carmen Amaya. In Episode 27, Amelia meets a young Eusebi GÃ¼ell in 1881, congratulates him on his recent decision to bankroll Antoni Gaudi, and suggests him to "maybe build a park". The season 4 premiere has Irene meet film director Luis GarcÃa Berlanga before his career began.
