The film stars Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon as fictionalised versions of themselves continuing their travels away from home.
Steve convinces Rob to go on a trip through Cantabria, the Basque region, Aragon, Rioja, Castile La Mancha and Andalucia, retracing the journey Steve took as a young man. On their journey the pair contemplate history, fame, and fatherhood.
The Trip to Spain has received mixed to positive reviews. The film currently holds an 82% "Certified Fresh" review score on Rotten Tomatoes, and Metacritic gave the film an average score of 65/100 based on 21 reviews.
Joshua Rothkopf of Time Out New York gave the film three out of five stars and David Ehrlich of IndieWire a B+ rating. Stephanie Zacarek of TIME praised the film, saying "When you come to a Trip picture, you know you’ll be getting more of the same: These movies are reliable quantities in an unreliable world".
