I dont get it lol, im 37 and wine tastes like crap.🤔, how do adults drink that stuff? Beer tastes like sh*t too. Maybe you have to develop the taste for it?, well i never did i guess, didnt even drink when i was younger, didnt even start tho cuz it tasted terrible.
Very cool place , the property is amazing, l am surprised that no one tried to develope it . Thanks for braving the cobwebs.
@@PopCultureFan_ definitely an acquired taste, I never liked wine until I made an effort to learn how to drink it. There are so many different kinds of wine, I learned that I like crisp, fresh white wines that aren’t overly sweet. Still don’t like heavier red wines. It’s also a completely different thing when you drink it as part of a meal, it can really complement the taste of the food if you get the right wine. Beer I hate though.
@@PopCultureFan_ I agree, except to me it tastes like vinegar. The only one worth drinking is Asti Spumante. Very sweet.
Fun fact of the day: Those “webs” are actually called soot tags or soot webs! Carbon and tar (aka soot) are released in a fire and can sometimes bond together to form these chains or threads as the particles move to cooler areas away from the source of ignition. They look like spiderwebs and most people assume it’s webs covered in soot, but they are completely fire-made!
PS: spectacular video (as always) and I’ve been a huge fan of this channel for years! Keep up the awesome work guys!
I just commented something like this! It took like 10 minutes on google trying to figure it out lol
Hey, thanks! I just learned something 🤗
Ah yes like the little black wisps that go all floaty in the air sometimes when you light a blunt lol. Always wondered what that was it always looked kinda like soot when I would catch one.
No those are old webs covered in dust. You are overthinking it.
@@xcalibertrekker6693 No, he's right.
On the calendar at 8:50 it says July 4th was on a Thursday which gives us a couple of years to choose from. It also has February 29th on there so it should be from a leap year, meaning it's from either 1968 or 1974. With that being said, 1996 also had July 4th on a Thursday and the prison closed in '97 so my money is on 1996.
And the year seems to end in 6 so I guess you are right.
1996 was my conclusion as well. It fits the timeline and matches up with the ISO-8601 formatted calendar here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leap_year_starting_on_Monday#:~:text=The%20most%20recent%20year%20of,in%20the%20obsolete%20Julian%20calendar
These people have successfully broken into a prison. This is a masterpiece.
The decay, black cobwebs and green moss, combined with the lack of vandalism makes this one of the most interesting abandoned prisons yet! Awesome!
Because it’s not in America lol
Just opened the comments and this is how i know it’s gonna be a good vid :)
@@DinoNuggets7 check their other videos of nonamerican explorations. You'll see that it doesn't matter where you go, vandalism will persist
@@jwalster9412 the lack of vandalism won't last. Why? Because these goons, and several other prominent exploring pages, OUT them to the world and invite idiots, who then vandalize them. Just happened with a palace they posted about. Was pristine, but they told the world how and where to find it. Then, another goon who also outs places goes on his page, and guess what? It's been tagged now. Been a fan of exploring abandoned places for a long time. Ha e seen plenty of them myself. But these days, with these pages on YT with tons of subscribers, there is a total lack of respect for them. "Hey everyone! Here is EXACTLY where this amazing spot is! Have at it!" That is the reckless attitude I see on them, and of course, the tagging, vandalizing fools all seem to follow. Kinds immature and selfish, if you ask me. But thats what it is now, I guess. They've never replied to my comments, either. Guess it doesn't matter to them. Wacth though, as all these places slowly( or quickly) get trashed because of their lack of discretion.
@@DinoNuggets7 the palace they just explored and OUTED in Portugal is now tagged. Their open disclosure of abandoned historical places with so many subscribers is totally irresponsible and stupid.
That playful scene with the dog makes this video one of the most wholesome urbex exploring videos you guys have made ^-^
that plus the black cat lurking and them rating all dogs a 10 was too much cute
It's crazy to see how big you guys have gotten! I remember you were my roommates in sophomore year of college - just wanted to drop in and say I hope you guys are doing well! Keep up the awesome content!
TPP: Hi from Alberta Canada. The best abandoned places channel going. I appreciate that you don't physically break into places must be free access, do not damage take video or still photos only, take no souvenirs or tag with graffiti etc. The most interesting abandoned locations. Look forward to your next posting.
Very cool. A fellow Canadian. Hi from Regina, Saskatchewan.
Cochrane AB here. Always appreciative of respectful urbex folks
Ha, BC here!
Doesn't seem that bad to take souvenirs imo.
As a local it's really cool to see urbex UA-camrs showing the interior of the prison. It's sad to see that abandoned prison when walking through the promenade. Back in the days there used to be always a security guard on the door but I haven't seen it in the last years.
There's a project to convert the prison into a social, cultural and educational building called Proxecto Cárcere (Project Prison) but so far after 10 years they haven't done much progress.
Also, there is an abandoned tram depot 500 meters away from the prison that is worth visiting but I guess it's already too late.
You bringing up that project reminded me of this other similar thing i saw years ago, a prison that was abandoned and there was some kind of tour set up, and at least one video made of someone trying to go into closed off areas.. is there a relation somewhere?
@@HarmonyOmega a similar thing has been done with the Modelo prison in Barcelona, which is a cultural center now
This prison is almost identical in size, shape, form, and layout as the waterfront Kingston Penitentiary here in Ontario - It was built in the early 1830s, updated in the 1850s and then used continuously as a maximum security until 2013. It's been available for TV/movie filming and guided tours since then - it's the filming location for the TV show The Mayor Of Kingstown.
Very cool. Mayor of Kingstown is a wild show too.
Wow
I look forward to your uploads. I find it hard to watch other explores as they don't seem as fluid as your walk throughs. Love hearing the history behind the locations.
It must have been particularly cruel to be so close to the freedom of the sea, and the tides, and be unable to live a free existence. I wonder how many are still alive that remember the place today.
Imagine having a cell with a beachfront view.
No it would be depressing
Awe yes. See the beauty you can never touch, never experience.
@@volestoat 💯
Reminds me a bit of Alcatraz
@@loverlei79 seeing the Seagulls every day flying around freely. The gulls having fun in the sky and dropping into the ocean for a quick dip.
@3:01 Border Collies love to chase anything you can throw. I have a Border Collie/Golden Retriever mix and he is so fun, loving and smart.
The irony of breaking INTO a prison! Thanks for the fantastic tour.
Today i have to say thank you guys!! A Coruña it´s the city were i study and i´ve lived there for 4 years,everytime i walk to the "Torre de Hercules" i wondered how the interior of the prison would look like,because the exterior it´s super cool,and the views are stunning!!!
Near there i´ve explored a modernist house known as "Casa Bailly" or "El Grajal" expropriated during the Franco era and used as a military school and its basement as a prison for the opposing side, its inscriptions can still be read on the walls today.
In my town we have a whole circus and a surrounding city founded by a priest and orphan kids, "El circo/ciudad de los muchachos" This circus toured the world, they even performed at Madison Square Garden! and became very famous in the 60s and 70s,the history itself it´s amazing!
I swear, every couple of weeks me and my partner collectively go “I feel like it’s been awhile since the proper people posted” and without fail they post within a day, we’re so in sync with the posting schedule lmao
I agree the outside looks really cool, especially with the moss. Strange inside tho, the lighting gives it sorta airy vibes
You commented two days before video came out lol
@@gmaulpker4765 Early access viewing for either being a UA-cam member or Patreon subscriber.
@@gmaulpker4765 Yeah ppl have early access
@@ravenousbanshee5425 oh wow that is very cool
@@gmaulpker4765 yeah it is. Also I just noticed your user. Awesome username my man!
Being someone who knows the feeling of being caged in- especially in an urban environment- it sure does hit me differently, especially when looking out of the widows. I wonder how many people, no matter the story, surely some innocent, have looked through those very same dotted grates at the lighthouse, freedom and society so close, but yet- just out of reach. How many tears were shed in silence on those concrete chairs. The anguish and thirst for something beyond this.
I don't know the whole history but I also know there are innocents caught up in prison. I don't speak from prison experience, I speak from a lock-down orphanage experience. It's where my agoraphobia began. Every day feeling the same on the same 3000sqft stretch of the upper-level of an inconspicuous place somewhere in Ohio. My eyes felt half-open as every day I would retort the same- "Today I feel fine." Play their game. So you can leave.
Once in a great while the kids with me would have a chance to escorted to a garage-type place under part of the building's architecture. They called it "The Cage" because there was an opening to outside air, however it was covered floor to ceiling overhang with hexagonal gate. I didn't even want to go down there, it only reminded me even more of the isolation. Snowfall would be so beautiful- but never within reach. It was painful. Those small city lights, unsure how far away, they were painful to look at, at night, whilst the younger kids in the orphanage cried for their mothers.
Ha oops, too deep. But it's what videos like this remind me of. The people who were really there, experiencing it.
I've never had the displeasure of experiencing such a thing, but it still hits me hard. It's sad, depressing even, that such a place can exist in our society.
"All that we can do is just survive,
all that we can do to help ourselves is stay alive"...
Humans belong in nature, not rectangular caves.
"Urban" is just another term for big, modern cities.
I hate what has become of cities. Too overpopulated and people stuffed in to small apartments.
I’m living for your Spain series!! Mi encanta Espana!! My husband is from Spain and we’ve been back several times to visit his family, but I don’t have the guts to visit any abandoned places.
You should put it on your bucket list. And film it of course.
Me and my friend are taking high school spanish for the sole purpose we get a spain trip and we are sneaking out to go explore one. Going to leave a note obviously in case they find we are gone and assume something bad happened to us. Whats the worst that can happen, if we get caught we get in trouble and reprimanded im sure, but you only get to live once.
@@bikesandbandos I took 2 yrs of HS French and then 2 yrs of college French and then ended up marrying a Spanish man. Haha! You’re right though they’d probably just give you a warning and tell you to leave.
I like how it seemed pretty peaceful and nice outside the prison. With all of the seagull sounds, grass, sea, etc.
But once you go in just a bit things seem to get dark and scary kind of fast.
That was an awesome explore, very scenic! Thank you.
8:52 Calendar is from 1996. You can make out the 6 at the end. Makes sense as the prison closed the year after.
To be honest, looks were deceiving with this one. On the outside it looks spectacular. On the inside? Kinda underwhelming, save for a couple of rooms taken over by moss.
Tonight, after a very hot day in The Netherlands, ill be chillin' on my sofa watching this 😎👍🏼
Hier hetzelfde! Met een koude Hoegaarden!
Hier ook. Met een koude Gulpener Korenwolf!
Cheers from 🇨🇦🙂
Yeah it was boiling out here in Utrecht today
Grtz back people!! Ja, de tering wat heet 😎🤣👍🏼
With the gulls, the moss, the mold, and the black cobwebs gave this prison a surreal sad feeling. It's beautiful in it's decay. Thankfully it wasn't covered in graffiti. Fantastic find guys.
Its so bright, almost friendly. Like an old, somewhat shabby resort. With armored doors and tiny rooms. 😅
The highlights to me are the exterior and all the rooms with green stuff, looks almost like art.
The sound of the wind buffeting around my headphones was very cool--and cooling!--to hear, during this heat wave we're experiencing. Love from England 💛💛
Wow thats cool! Cheers from CM Exploration!
Thank you for the new episode. I binge-watched all the others and was craving a new one. Love the series. Cheers from Canada!
You know it's an interesting place when you find a black cat hanging around all casually. 🐈⬛
He looked like he might've come up, if they'd called him. He looked a little friendly.
What a beautiful exploration
Also the reddish flooring on the stairs gotta be one of the most 80s 90s Spanish things from that building hehe!
I’ve been here recently, and thankfully I did not have to walk the wall like you guys did! Watching back your video to see what I’ve also seen, what I might have missed and what has changed..
Not as much graffiti as there could have been seeing how it is so close to people. Also, some of the cells had better bathrooms in them then most cells here in the US. Always nice to see these places and wonder what it was like when it was open and what the prisoners thought.
I love the dog ratings 🤣 I was like "10/10, obviously"
That whole place seems to be a mixture of about 4 or 5 different design styles and periods. Strange, but works so well.
The stuff in the Laundry room dates
back maybe earliest 1960s.
Random dog. "Human, play with me". Nature's barbed wire.
Great drone shots guys! Imagine breaking INTO a prison lol
Good one 😆
Those random seagulls are perfect ambient sound
13:52 I mean, if you can't show what it is, why even include it at all? 🤷♂
That place is interesting and picturesque enough I’d think it could be a museum.
Wow!!! It looks like there’s a whole history 2 this place.
the interaction with the dog at the beginning killed me. it was like you were in a video game scripted sequence and u had a "play with dog" animation. the way the dog just runs offscreen and then u keep going is just making me lose it.
great vid btw I watch them all :) !!
I love the “Birds Aren’t Real” reference. Great work as always.
Perfect editing
Wow, that building site next to the sea would probably cost millions.
Another great vid. Also love the mysterious sounding music.
Awesome tour guys!
Most people want to break out of prisons, not break in 🤗
This is by far the best exploration channel ever. Thanks to the Proper People, we get to see the most intriguing and most interesting places all over the world! Thank you for all your hard work!!
Pretty amazing construction. I like how much natural light there is too. I feel the pain though of those souls who were locked up in there. Seems like it still has good bones and could be saved before it got too much worse. Little trippy though when that door slammed shut .... oh man what an episode that would be.
Absolutely amazing job as always guys 23.43-47 do you hear the screaming ?? Maybe it was from outside ?? Love your work
You can hear it quietly a few times before then and a feel like once or twice after your time stamp. Definitely interesting. Can't rule out that it might (let's be honest; probably is, even though I love the idea of it) still be just a gull... It does sound just distinctive enough to be intriguing though, yes. Been following these guys for a long time and you all just keep getting better and better at this. Greetings from New England. Happy hunting!
7:21 when your unprotected ankle just barely grazes past that broken glass
re: egg cartons
that's right, homemade soundproofing
About 7 years ago, I had a clinical rotation in a regional jail, which was fascinating to see in terms of organization. They had limited healthcare resources including lacking a dentist despite widespread, painful oral infections among inmates. That alone was quite a crime deterrent to me.
I really felt like I was watching someone play Assassin’s Creed when you first hopped over the wall and got into the guard tower. Very cool as always, guys!
You could explore the Mosteiro de Seiça near the city of Figueira da Foz, Coimbra district in the center of Portugal, it's an old long abandoned monastery in ruins.
Great job, as always. While I'm sure it wasn't abandoned, did you guys check out the lighthouse?
This channel has been growing a lot since 6 years ago, think yall had 200k 6 years ago, but I love how the channel has no changed, I hope the intro never changes
Dog: "Hi Human! Play with me!"
Birds: "Aaaaaarrrrrghhhhhhhh!"
Cat: "I will allow you to continue to exist".
Your videos are always so great to watch. You must spend some time researching where to go 🥺
Michael, you are like me as I hate ugly graffiti especially in older beautiful properties such as castles and mansions and even in certain prisons and schools. Awesome footage guy thanks for sharing. It looked like a beautiful place near the sea.
They hate graffiti but they OUT these amazing places to the world and casually, recklessly invite vandals and taggers. It is super obnoxious that they do this, and the proof that they invite fools is there - check out the pristine palace they outed in PORTUGAL- then go to Ronins page - now its tagged. Thanks guys! 🖕
those cobwebs are nightmare fuel :|
What a pity places like that can't be turned into museums or something usable. The old prison here in Fremantle was turned into a museum and conducts different tours, day, night and even tunnel tours. It is amazingly popular and preserves the buildings and the history.
4:25 to 4:35 interesting multipul sounds captured there..maybe a residual haunting event or the surrounding wildlife creating that noise frequency heard 👻 🐦
Can’t watch the entirety of this until tonight, but wanted to comment how much I look forward to these!
Those seagulls are the alarm system lol😂😅
Caught it just at upload. I'm looking forward to this
You guys have mastered urban exploration. I try to catch you and Explomo's video's on my day's off work or after work. You both can honestly compete with PBS and network TV. I like the content of your video's so much and look forward to finding out what's next. Thank you for the quality you put into your video's.
that wasn't any normal bird it's a seagull and a very dangerous one... it was in fact Steven seagull........ I'll leave now🤣🤣🤣
That prison is very reminiscent of Nova Prospekt, the prison from Half-Life 2.
I came here to say the same!
That Aprilia mural is one of the coolest things i've ever seen in the world of urbex and you guys just breezed right over it, defo not petrol heads haha
Amazing how much natural light this place has.
Proper People: scanning the prison building.
Spanish doggo: Tirar el palo!!😄
@14:15 That inmate didn't even have a place to go potty! That's cruel.
I always carried good duct tape to put over door latches. And checked doors before going through them. Just in case.
Really enjoyed your awesome abandoned prison video! How I wish I could explore something like this!
That place was realy cool
Yeah i know. Considering it’s a prison. lol
I wish you'd do more abandoned castles and manors in Europe. The other urbexers are okay, but I'm tired of the same-old shit where research consists of looking for a calendar and regurgitating other video stories, whether true or not. Love to see someone actually relate why a particular rich place has become abandoned and left by officials to rot.
I researched and the black cobwebs are actually soot tags
If I was a prisoner there I think the birds would drive me nuts.
those opening drone shots are great!
I always enjoy the beginning when we get the chance to see them make their way in. The GoPro on Michael's head this time takes me back to some of the older videos on the channel, love it :)
well you got me for the first time with the wine subscription box, cant pass up a deal like that.
Tasty explore that lads. Great work.
Its a beautiful building its too bad they couldnt turn it into something else such as hotel or residences since it adds so much picturesqueness to the local scenery
The birds aren't real! 😂 That intro was great and def dare devel level 5 walking that wall.
Y'all, my jaw dropped at the drone shots! It's beautiful.
The black cobwebs are so eerie and for some reason just thinking about them creeps me out
I love you guys.
can you imagine beeing incarcerated there .. smelling the sea air, hearing the gulls all day long .. some probably could see the ocean from their cell, must've been hell
18:46 Yeah pretty modern for the 70's. I guess that's what you meant: more modern than the building :)
I love your videos I'm a big fan
What a hellish prison, with all those seagulls it had to be terrible 😵💫
Hey Bryan and Micheal. Thanks for posting another awesome video and great to see ya my friends.
Bryan reminds me of a younger version of Bam Margera… just came across you guys and love your videos thus far.
Those narrow halls were claustrophobic, but I guess most prisons are. The funny thing is: I spend a lot of time at the beach, and feeding gulls at the beach and Texas gulls sound really different than Spanish gulls. Didn’t get good look at ones there, so don’t know if look the same; perhaps a different species. Did you get to the big round part on top? Missed it if you did.
Nice video 👍 enjoy viewing 😌
You goof balls! The sheet hanging there meant MOVIE NIGHT!
