"Pueblo"

Eve Richer & Ben Raznick
Here's a bilingual webseries about an American who moves to a small town in Spain to work as an English teacher.

It documents the comedic exploits of a quirky American adapting to the culture of a Spanish farming village.

The creators, Eve Richer and Ben Raznick, have lived in Nicaragua, Argentina, and Brazil. From October 2010 through May 2011 they worked as assistant English teachers in La Puerta de Segura, Spain.

Annual festivals and celebrations serve as the backdrop for many of the episodes, while the story explores of the economic fabric of La Puerta de Segura, including the olive and asparagus industries. Each installment of Pueblo features a brief “brought to you by” message containing a component of Spanish life. Local townsfolk appear as actors in the webseries, giving the production a local flavor to go along with the main “fish-out-of-water” narrative centered on American Ben.

Here's episode one.
