It will only have 8 episodes and I have already seen 4 in different web sites (I'm afraid with no subtitles). I loved Gran Hotel though I wished the last episodes had a bit more of the two main characters. I've been recommended to watch El tiempo entre costuras, not sure the name in English.<br />Haven't seen it yet but it's my next one in line.<br />Hope this helps!<br />AlejandraAle Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02785255045487564107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481549185308465110.post-30890141060638425512016-06-09T16:48:16.404-04:002016-06-09T16:48:16.404-04:00Thanks for your comment, Anon.

Look for <b>"El tiempo entre costuras"</b> or "The time in between". It has an 8.4 rating on IMDB.com. <br /><br />It's available on Hulu for free –I think– and also on Netflix LatinAmerica, not US. <br /><br />Hulu's synopsis: Based on the New York Times Bestseller "The Time In Between" by María Dueñas, a young seamstress's life takes an unexpected turn when she finds herself pregnant, alone, and penniless during the Spanish Civil War. As Spain's alliance with Nazi Germany deepens, she takes on a new identity and becomes an in-demand haute couture stylist for the wives of Nazi officials. But soon she becomes swept up in political intrigue when she begins helping the British Secret Service with coded messages in the seams of her dresses.<br /><br />Hope you enjoy it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481549185308465110.post-89758828559198446652015-09-11T04:50:01.251-04:002015-09-11T04:50:01.251-04:00Thanks for commenting, Jennifer.
