Chef Santi Cordón takes a journey on his vegycle (a bicycle/garden/cooker) from his home town of Tudela to Malaga’s Film Festival, where a documentary is competing. The documentary is about the last vegetable gardeners and Santi is the main character. In this sustainable 90-kilometre eco trip, he has as a companion the Malaga-born permaculturist Alberto Marín. This humorous road-movie is born on the back of their journey, in which its noble protagonists plant a vegetable garden on their bicycle, making it their trustee steed.
