Can we just acknowledge the almost perfect backtiming in terms of explaining the breakfast and the actual delivery of it by the servicewoman. You rehearsed that piece, didn't you? 😄
Great video Stuart. The desayuno looked delicious. I often used to eat either on the industrial estates or the ventas where the lorry drivers stop. I always found them to be simple but good quality food at very economical prices. Loving these eat like a local videos. They make a frefreshing change from politics and scandle. Keep them coming.😀👍
I love Monday because im home, and i take advantage of seeing UA-cam videos like this one. Thank you for sharing the locals' places from the beautiful ESPAÑA 🇪🇸 GRACIAS 👍☕️😍
The good ham is €20+. We may not go to that specific one but we can learn about that type of restaurant for future voyages. UA-camrs are often worried about the background noise but it really isn't picked up by the mic.
I wasn't ready for the amount of ham and was expecting one thin slice. That looked great. As for the olive oil, usually you get your tostada with the tomato sauce already on, so oil goes on top; When it's not, I add the olive oil 1st, but it makes more sense to put it on top of the tomato sauce.
I had the same breakfast in Alicante at Cafe El Mirador. I highly recommend it, great sea views and good service. They used to do pan con tomate with anchovies which is even better in my opinion.
Great video Stu, Ithink it the breakfast was good value, i am going to try it next trip to Spain it is my kind of breakfast i love a bit of Jamon at any time of the day.
Looks delicious!!!!! I can't wait! Im a Dual Citizen (US/SP) moving there in the coming months and planning on teaching English. I have cousins in Madrid and in the Basque Country. It's nice to hear your perspective on long term living. Im mostly concerned with about getting a job since I am in my 50s. Also trying to decide where I'd like to go. The Basque Country is pricey and Madrid has a lot of competition. So I am in research mode and appreciate your videos and opinions. Thankfully I am fairly fluent in Spanish so I am hoping this will give me and edge
Thanks again Stuart. This happens to be my favorite breakfast. I think “pa amb tomaguet” is a Catalan thing that has spread in Spain, but I could be wrong. If you get it with bellota, it’s heavenly!
Nice breakfast at a great price, I always round up the charge to a round number roughly leaving 10% which is appreciated. I don't think everyone leaves a tip here in the Canaries as they usually are surprised. Stu
I see that Spain has its own version of the Devon/Cornwall scone war (Jam on cream or cream on jam) with the olive oil on ham or tomato. Seems like a good deal. Tipping buttons on card machines are common in the UK.
Nice breakfast and, although you often complain about Spanish coffee, a decent looking cup of coffee. That has improved since my time in a Spanish school decades ago.
Re the tip option on the POS screen. Get used to it. It's like that everywhere here in the US. Makes you feel guilty for not tipping, with the waitstaff watching you. No pressure!!
Stu, that is normal here in the States (automatic tip added to CC payment, except 10, 15 & 20%). 5% is a fair tip for what you had. Looking forward to my Spain visit next month, 3 nights in Alcalá and 4 in Madrid Centro.
Looked like a really great Breakfast & terrific value at €5.20. Can I suggest you tip in cash though, staff often don’t receive tips left on cards. Great videos, thank you. Back to Calpe this Thursday.
That price cannot be beat! I just had breakfast on Sunday and it was just a bagel with egg cheese and some pastrami and water and it was almost 8 dollars. US. And that is without a tip.😢
@@paulgooderham yes Paul, coffee and bread with tomato and ham. Desayuno. All included in the price. If u ever come to Spain and try this, ull love it. Nice breakfast and not expensive ✌
@@NoeliaRuiz-ls8yw Thank you. I did review Stu's video to see if coffee was mentioned anywhere on the menu he showed but I didn't see it. As for me I don't really like so much meat at breakfast. I thought it was a German thing.
@@paulgooderham oh I see...if u don't like meat for breakfast, in Spain sometimes we have only the bread with tomato and olive oil. No ham. We eat it either way. That's another option if u ever come here and fancy trying. And that's even cheaper as well.
I find it interesting that it was not served on a plate. Looks like a good breakfast. Very good value IMHO. Stu how about a review of the different ham types for those of us that do not know! Be in Spain in 17 days and looking forward to the experience again.
You definitely can’t get that in La Palma. At least never seen this way, not by far. It’s so boring here, everywhere the same bad bread to start. Much to be learned here
Tip? Did you get the 10% of service that you were charged or did they just serve you as they should. Otherwise you could have got it yourself and saved the tip. As you can tell, i'm not a great tiopper 🤔
Alioli (in Spanish) or All-i-oli, in Catalan (what you call in english AiOli), is not a thing in Spain for putting it on top of the bread, even in Catalonia or Valencian Community, where All-i-oli originally comes from, you see it here more often mixing it up with rice dishes
@@edl7454 I'm Catalan as I was born and raised in a coastal town in the Gerona province and I've never seen anyone in my town who puts All-i-oli on top of the toast
I love your videos. Always non biased. I would compare that type of food like the one that you can eat in a dinner in the USA. I don´t know about Australia but for sure in Australia great amazing food from all over the world can be eaten, even better than in Spain, because of the weather, the closeness to Asia and the food of the inmigrants from everywhere. Forty years ago I would eat that type of food, not now in Spain. I would have a healthy tasty breakfast, there are thousands of places that you can eat really nice healthy tasty food from all over the world, like Honest Greens, even I prefer another places much more. But your videos are just great, always a good opinion. Thanks a lot and cheers.
I think smiling staff goes a long way to make the food enjoyable. With the ham and oil in was ok for a diabetic, not so much without the ham. Would not have needed added salt with that poss already salty ham. Gluten free bread is never much good compared with the regular bread.
My husband and I just had an early dinner( 5:30 pm) at a restaurant in Aurora , Colorado yesterday. We got two smothered burritos . One had sour cream and both had a mexican white cheese. Both of the burritos were smothered with chili . We paid $36.00 dollars plus a $7.00 tip , which is 20 percent of the bill. My husbands burrito had pork that he said was dry as a bone. He told me later after we left that his burrito was awful. I still would have given the waitress a good tip , since it is not her fault the food was not great. I had chicken in my burrito and it was fine. The place had a 4.5 rating. It was not that great for a local place and was not what I would call a 4.5 . So when I see videos on food in Spain we sure miss the prices and quality of the food and bread. We used to eat out often here in Metro Denver, but we can not afford to eat out that often. It is not really good for our health anyway. Fast food here at In and Out , which is a chain , costs 17.00 for two hamburgers with french fries and a drink . My husband likes to order the double hamburger with cheese on top . Costco here charges $3.50 for a big hot dog on a bun with a soda pop fountain drink. You won't find food that cheap at any fast food or restaurant here in Metro Denver. I have come to realize in the last two years as prices have gone up that to eat well in Denver Metro whether it is a breakfast , dinner or lunch they generally hover around 15.00 for the entree to start.
@@janethaver3375 Thanks for your input. So, are you saying there is no place in Madrid to get bacon and eggs and if there was, no one visiting Madrid would be interested because it's not a traditional Spanish breakfast?
Hola Stuart, on average we can travel for about 6 months a year. We only have breakfast if it's included in our accommodation. Even if we have a place without a kitchen or kitchenette, will normally get something from supermarket. Even at ,5 euros each a breakfast that works out to 1800 euros in 6 months. While was just in Romania bought a kettle from a China shop ,saved a lot of money on buying coffee. Left kettle at our last apartment. Coffee for my wife, I only drink water and beer 🍻, hasta pronto amigo
I'm amazed that "locals" will pay money to have someone place some thinly sliced ham (and some tomato) on a couple of pieces of bread. The olive oil packaged in plastic is just sad.
' LOOK AT THE HEADING ' what do you think is happening here. Stu is showing what the locals eat, not all locals prepare a meal at home, they actually eat out and enjoy breakfast, lunch or a evening meal on the go. Have you not seen or listening recently.
Tengo hambre! Thanks Stu. I like these videos, even if they make me hungry!
Can we just acknowledge the almost perfect backtiming in terms of explaining the breakfast and the actual delivery of it by the servicewoman. You rehearsed that piece, didn't you? 😄
Ha ha, no!
Yep, I would enjoy this breakfast, especially with a good coffee. Nice clean cafe as well.

To be fair, he has a Spanish family

I love the serranito breakfast, often have it weekends. Yours looked great.
Looks delicious Stuart. Made my mouth water with every crunchy bite! Keep up the great reviews please.

una de las cosas mas importantes para mi es el pan, que sea bueno y esté tostado en su punto.
Y el lugar, que sea agradable.
saludos.
I know that I'm hungry now!!! Cheers from the Chesapeake Bay area of VA!
Looks like a winner, that Serrano ham is my favorite. Can't wait to get over there.

Nice to see these types of places where actual local workers would eat, keep up the good work :)
Excellent Price! Here in USA only the coffee cost 5 euros
Thanks again Stuart. This happens to be my favorite breakfast. I think “pa amb tomaguet” is a Catalan thing that has spread in Spain, but I could be wrong. If you get it with bellota, it’s heavenly!
just back from Madrid and Segovia and Pa amb tomaquet was everywhere. Delish!

Good value in my books for what you got
Brilliant looking, exactly what I’d choose.💕Gracias.

we always buy Mercadona cut off the bone freshly usually with cheese or melon

Who carries cash these days?
That's more like it, Stuart. I would give the ham a miss and just go for the tomatoes on toast yum 😋 A good price, including coffee. Thank you
Me too, I would give ham a miss as I am vegetarian 😅
Jamon Serrano is very expensive in USA.
Love it Stuart - seems good value to me; would cost double in U.K.
Great value Stu.
I'd have to have garlic with the tomato or alioli.
That price cannot be beat! I just had breakfast on Sunday and it was just a bagel with egg cheese and some pastrami and water and it was almost 8 dollars. US. And that is without a tip.😢
Hi Stuart, if we add the typical freshly squeezed orange juice I guess still the breakfast does not get too pricey. We are in an orange country.
I’m a veggie and wouldn’t want the ham,however that,in my opinion, was very good value.
I had the best breakfast ever in Bilbao it was €30 with views of the Guggenheim and the Nervion. River. Lovely.
What did you eat? The Basque country offers always good quality food. I love how tomatoes and even the salad taste there.
Alioli makes me think of caracoles in Girona!
So it includes the coffee in the price?

The industrial estate is called a poligano.
Se llama POLÍGONO.

Stu how about a review of the different ham types for those of us that do not know!
Be in Spain in 17 days and looking forward to the experience again.
Cuanto más caro es el jamón mejor calidad, así de claro. Desde 25€ el kg. A 100€ el kg. 😅 +-
Good value Stu
Decent breakfast decent price.
When I was in Spain in the 1980s a typical Spanish breakfast was a black coffee and a cigarette 😂
That's literally my breakfast (coffe is optional) 😂
Spain is very diverse, and what you say is not ‘a typical Spanish breakfast’ at all.
It looked pretty good, maybe a bit plain.
W Video 🎉
Interesting, you didn't mention, at what city is that restaurant.
Thank you.
You definitely can’t get that in La Palma. At least never seen this way, not by far. It’s so boring here, everywhere the same bad bread to start. Much to be learned here
What the name of the ham people in Spain use? I would like to buy it for my house
Jamón serrano.
It is cheaper than jamón ibérico. (Ibérico is not for everyday 💰 the race of porks is ibérico. That is the diference).
Good video, it would have been nice to see you order the breakfast in Spanish
Next time!
@@spainspeaksVale! gracias
oil and salt on top always! lol
Tip?
Did you get the 10% of service that you were charged or did they just serve you as they should. Otherwise you could have got it yourself and saved the tip.

Drink the oil first and then eat the bread
Next time get AiOli on top of the bread and then follow it with tomato and ham.

Stuart , be glad that Cracker Barrel does not have a presence in Spain. Truly Horrendous food, makes MacDonalds and Burger King look semi edible.
Spain has a great food in comparison with USA. Here we are overweith too many sugar and bad quality and expansive
How about doing a non-traditional Spanish breakfast? 🙂 Bacon and eggs? And, there is nothing Keto about their Keto breakfast.
The channel is about Spain. I’m sure you can get video on an English breakfast on a UK channel

How dare people make noise doing irrelavant building work and interrupting your more important job of being incredibly boring about a piece of toast.
