A la caza del tesoro is the Spanish version of the French game show La Chasse aux trésors. It was produced by Televisión Española (TVE) and Télé-Union, and was broadcast on TVE-1 between 8 January and 13 May 1984. It was presented by Isabel Tenaille in the studio, with Miguel de la Quadra-Salcedo searching for the treasures abroad.
The show was one of the international adaptations of the format, which was also adapted in the United Kingdom as Treasure Hunt; and Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Scandinavia.
Presenter Isabel Tenaille greets a pair of contestants, a man and a woman, at the show's studio. They are then given a mission: to find three treasures in under 45 minutes in a remote location without leaving the studio. Using the clues they receive and the maps, travel guides, and books available to them, they must give instructions to Miguel de la Quadra-Salcedo, who will travel by helicopter to locate the treasures in the remote area. Once they find one of the treasures, they receive the clue for the following one. For each treasure found, they win 100,000 pesetas (€601), and if they find all three, they win an all-expenses-paid trip around the world.[1]
Production
A la caza del tesoro is the Spanish version of the French game show La Chasse aux trésors, which was created by Jacques Antoine and produced by Télé-Union. Televisión Española (TVE) produced the Spanish version with the collaboration of Télé-Union. The show used the same technical equipment as the French version and the same studio in Paris. Communication with the remote location was carried out with a radio-telephone link via satellite in audio only, since there was no live television connection. The footage filmed in the remote location was added in post-production. The opening theme was "Fu Man Chú" by synthpop music duo Azul y Negro.[1][2]
The eighteen episodes of the single season were broadcast on TVE-1 between 8 January and 13 May 1984.
