The Desert's Treasures

Season 15 Episode 1502 | 27m 56s

The Coahuila Desert is a treasure trove that Pati explores piece by piece. A visit to Armando Guadiana's apple and quince orchard brings back a cherished childhood memory. Then she meets an eco-conscious young biologist, Jorge Madrazo, who takes her to Doña Vero's kitchen for her famous 'Dinoquesadillas,' but Pati discovers a charming local secret instead.
