The versatile Catalan Albert Espinosa already has his backpack ready to undertake the different installments of his new program The way home, which opens the day after tomorrow at 10:30 p.m. on La Sexta. Created and directed by the writer, the space will show the protagonists in their hometown and will follow with them the itinerary they took from school to their home every day.

Each broadcast of this Atresmedia production in collaboration with 7 y Acción will feature a famous guest. Faces from the world of music, film, television and sports will accompany the creator of Pulseras Rojas on an emotional journey in which they will have to let themselves be carried away by feelings and emotions.

Remembering those moments that have marked them forever and doing so walking through the streets of the hometowns of these celebrities will be the common thread of this format in which Espinosa will become their confidant. A nostalgic walk in which each protagonist will be surprised to return to being the child they once were. It will be an absolute reunion with his childhood, with his origins and with his purest experiences. He will reveal where they come from.

return to childhood

The well-known bullfighter Jesulín de Ubrique will be one of the celebrities who will travel to his origins together with Albert Espinosa. We will see the right-hander more excited than ever, unable to avoid collapsing upon returning to what was his house in Ubrique (Cádiz) in his day, which is now in ruins. For her part, the singer Rosa López will settle accounts of her past by returning to the neighborhood of Granada from which she left to enter a well-known talent show, which she later won.

On the other hand, the actor Fernando Tejero will relive the steps of a childhood that was marked in Córdoba by the feeling of rejection, while the athlete Ana Peleteiro will turn the bullying she suffered when she was just a girl in La Coruña into force. We will find out how she transformed that pain into the tenacity that this Olympic medalist now has. She will also be in The way home Pocholo Martínez Bordiú, who will return after 40 years to meet his old friends from his wild childhood well-to-do in Marbella in the 70s.

And, finally, the award-winning interpreter Luis Tosar completes the list. The Galician actor will be moved to become again that kid who dreamed that the Lugo of the 80s was New York.

The journey that each of these celebrities will undertake together with Albert Espinosa will be full of surprises and memories. First, each of these celebrities will be seen returning to the schoolyard where they spent so many hours of fun and games in their day. There they will meet again with the child that one day they were and they will savor their childhood again and they will feel again moments that marked their souls.

Later, they will go through the streets that they saw every day and they will meet some of the inhabitants of those neighborhoods who have continued to reside since then. They will do it with a backpack on their backs and it is that all the celebrities will put on that object that accompanied them for so many years. Finally, the trip will end at the guest’s home. He himself will be in charge of opening the door of the old home where he lived as a child; remembering the laughter, the fights and with the emotion of the memory of those who are no longer there.
